The Braybrook Hotel is situated on Ballarat Rd in Braybrook and has recently undergone an extensive renovation, engaging all sections of the hotel creating a fresh and modern look, while also retaining a link to its rich history from the mid 1800’s. Only 20 minutes from the Melbourne CBD the Braybrook Hotel has plenty of off street parking and offers a range of award winning facilities. The first Braybrook Hotel is thought to have been erected around 1854, possibly in response to the demand from travellers to the gold fields. However, the earliest rate record found for this building was in 1863-4 when Charles Niven Young was the licensee and John Lang was the owner. These days the hotel is home to our ‘world famous’ all you can eat buffet with brand new Kids Play Area, multiple function rooms for all of your private and corporate needs, a state of the art TAB, modern gaming facilities, Sports Bar and extensive drive-thru Bottleshop that is open 7 days per week until late.

Always a vibe, friendly and good food. A little cold waiting outside for our table to be ready but was toasty warm when we sat down in the middle of winter.
