Bay House Motel

Bateau Bay, on the New South Wales Central Coast, holds this small motel a seven-minute walk from Shelly Beach and twelve from Bateau Bay Beach. Wyrrabalong National Park sits directly across the road. It is a quiet stretch of coast. From the park, a walking track runs through several lookouts to Crackneck Point, roughly thirty minutes each way, and from May to November it is one of the region's better spots to watch humpback whales pass offshore. Rooms are plain and functional: air conditioning, a Smart TV, tea and coffee facilities, and daily housekeeping, with a Ground Floor Family Room fitted with one queen and two single beds across 12 square metres. An outdoor pool sits on the property, open daily from 9am to 8.30pm, alongside free on-site parking and a private deck area. Bateau Bay Square, with its supermarkets and cafes, is a two-minute drive, and The Entrance and Long Jetty are five minutes further. Guests can leave the car at the motel and walk to both beaches. The property is family-run, wheelchair accessible on ground-floor rooms, and non-smoking throughout.
