Lighthouse Hotel Motel

The Lighthouse Hotel Motel is a casual coastal pub with a large undercover beer garden at 66 Zunker Street, in the heart of Burnett Heads. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor areas, which makes it an easy meal stop after a beach or park walk. The motel side is a separate question - confirm room access directly if you want to stay the night.

The dog setup. Dogs are generally allowed in the outdoor, undercover beer garden and courtyard, not inside the bar or restaurant. Keep your dog on a lead and under control. Water bowls are sometimes around, but bring your own to be safe. For the motel rooms, pet policy is not clearly published and appears to be case-by-case, so ring ahead before booking a room with a dog.

Good to know. A lively, classic coastal pub known for generous, well-priced counter meals and a popular family lunch spot, minutes from the Port of Bundaberg and Lady Musgrave Island tour departures.

Getting there. On Zunker Street in central Burnett Heads, with free street parking and a free on-site car park.

Nearby with the dogs. The Burnett Heads foreshore and marina paths are good for an on-leash walk, and Jack Strathdee Memorial Park has a fenced off-leash area a few minutes away. Bargara Beach, a short drive on, has plenty of pet-friendly coastal paths.
