At about 4am, crews arrived to a car fully engulfed in flames in the car park of the hotel. A Batemans Bay Fire and Rescue spokesperson said beer kegs had also exploded.

"The incident was made more dangerous as fire was impeding on multiple beer kegs, some of which had exploded prior to our arrival," the spokesperson said.

"An exclusion zone was set up as more kegs exploded."

Nelligen Rural Fire Service also attended and the fire was quickly brought under control.
