There’s no better place to relax in laid back style…
The Southern Waters Room
At BYS we know how important it is to have everything just right. Especially when you look forward to a cosy meal with the family or a relaxed get together with friends.
While we don’t take ourselves too seriously, we’re serious about making sure you have a great time, every time you visit. In our signature dining room, the Southern Waters Room, you’ll enjoy a relaxed vibe complemented by a modern Australian menu featuring fresh local produce and seafood. You’ll find the wine list is extensive with the best Mornington Peninsula wineries and breweries represented.
The Racing Lounge and Deck
Once you ‘feel’ the breathtaking panoramic views of Port Phillip Bay, you may not want to leave.
If a more casual dining experience is what you enjoy, you can’t go past the Racing Lounge. Opening out onto the sun-drenched upstairs deck, it’s a great destination for pre-dinner drinks while taking in the spectacular sunsets over Point Nepean and out to the Heads. In winter there is no better place to be than enjoying the couches in front of the warming fire.
The Canteen
Cameron’s Bite Kiosk also know as ‘The Canteen’ on the ground level is conveniently located in front of the lawn. It’s a great spot to grab some lunch before heading out sailing and is open every day from Boxing Day through to Australia Day for take-away coffee, cold drinks, ice creams and snacks.
