The Bays Bed & Breakfast

belle chambre dans une grande maison proche de la plage possibilité de laver son linge belle salle de séjour

Location of the property was good & it was immaculate. The host was unusual to deal with . On arrival at 240pm we were directed from a third floor slightly open window of where & how to park. We could not see who was shouting down directions , this was an unusual welcome The host then came to the door a few minutes later & proceeded to sarcastically ask us to move the car slightly She then gave us a good tour of the property & we met the lovely cat Lucy. The bedroom was not air conditioned & we had to sleep with window open & got bitten by mozzies The seperate shared bathroom was very clean & the shower was very good . Breakfast was help yourself from a pantry cupboard of cereals & spreads for toast . Instant coffee & tea available to make your own The fridge has single tubs of yoghurt , milk & butter. The host did offer French toast too, which we declined , not sure if this upset her as we never saw her again after breakfast. All the produce was home brand basic & not from a more luxury range

The room was exactly as the photos showed - not often do we get this! Thank you for being honest! A supreme place to stay - very clean, superbly decorated, comfy bed with enough pillows to make you sleep like a baby. Loved our stay - nothing was a problem. You get your own breakfast in the well equipped kitchen - you can eat outside on the sunny deck or inside on the table. There's a tele in the main room with a very comfy couch. The owner is soooo lovely - we had a friendly chat in the morning - she has made this place so welcoming and delightful to stay in. The location is great for getting around in the car - close to shops, beach, scenic drives. Easy to park the car - in the driveway if suitable, or on the road - all free. The bathroom is large and has all you need. Good size wardrobes in the bedroom, free slippers and dressing gown to wear. Highly recommend and will happily come again - thanks a lot!

Lovely property in a very nice neighnourhood. Close to beach, cafes and restaurants. Bed very comfortable and rooms beautifully furnished. Modern bathrooms and large lounge and kitchen available for guest use. Have stayed before and highly recommended. Easy parking.

It was tastefully decorated and felt very opulent. Good security at main entrance. Very personal welcome and service from Sharleen, especially the pancakes for breakfast. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely host and house. Room and bed was very comfortable, slept like a baby after a very long flight to NZ. Only 5 min walk to the beach, great for a quick dip. Parking is on the road outside.

Personal and lovely welcome by the owner, Sharleen. The place is new, clean and beautifully decorated with good security and great communication. Will happily stay there again.

Great clean facilities and good location. The host was lovely.

Host Shareen was wonderful: helpful, great communication especially with our very late arrival due to flight delay; rooms was modern, comfortable, clean, quiet; bathroom was very modern with great shower. Common kitchen and lounge was comfortable, and outdoor table and yard were peaceful with lots of bird song. The 5 minute walk to the beach is lovely with restaurants and cafes close by. Each morning Shareen made something special for breakfast which was a bonus. Will definitely stay again.

This was a great base for me for a weekend of relaxing. The hostess was very welcoming and helpful. The facilities were superb!! Felt like a luxury stay.

Great location Beautiful room Very clean and tidy Very much a home away from home

The owner lives upstairs and is very welcoming. Provides complimentry breakfast. Property is clean, quiet & well maintained.

Hôte charmante ,chambre propre Quartier calme et sécurisé

The property is well maintained and very clean. I will certainly stay there again.

Nice clean rooms. Quiet location.

Have stayed before and, as always, rooms were comfortable, bathrooms luxurious and area very safe and quiet. Close to dining options and can easily take public transport into the city from the end of Kohi Road. Good value and very clean and beautiful house.

Absolutely fantastic stay, in a very nice neighbourhood. Host could not have been more accommodating with a strong desire to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Neatness and cleanliness was beyond phenomenal!

Lovely place to stay in nice area with lovely view of Rangitoto. Beds were so comfortable and host really nice/ friendly. We will definitely stay again

Check in was poor and there was an expectation that the guest would ring to confirm arrival. Breakfast was poor however the property was absolutely stunning. Concerned that the room was not lockable and unhappy that we were requested to remove our shoes on entering the property and leave by the entrance door. Perhaps a shoe rack with indoor slippers by the door would have helped.

Owner Shereen has created a lovely home with rooms that are tasteful and cosy. She is very welcoming.

Only the executive suit had keys, which is a bit weird and not something I would rather go for again, especially in another country with all your personal belongings in that room

I had booked a family room for 2 adults and 2 children, aged 13 and 14. (Children are apparently classed under 17 years according to the website) We were charged an extra $50 dollars per child! Not discussed when booked. The extra beds were air mattresses! Alot of money for an uncomfortable bed. The noise from the upstairs room was loud and we could hear doors sliding back and forth. The property was in a great area, clean and well presented.

Amazing room loads of space & great view just sorry we only stayed 1nite. Excellent value for money

I am surprised about the high rating of this establishment. It is a clean and pretty house in a lovely neighborhood, but I feel as if "The Bays Hostel" would be a more appropriate name. Some concerns included: a) The room can only be locked from the inside and cannot be locked when guests are not there. I didn't feel comfortable leaving personal documents or anything valuable. b) What was mentioned as a futon on the listing, was a junky air mattress on the floor with only 1 pillow, a bottom sheet, and a top blanket. The owner instructed me to find another pillow in the closet, but the doors were blocked by the air mattress on the floor. c) I'm hoping the "private bathroom" was indeed private, but since it was not connected to my room, I don't know if other guests used it. It did have excellent water pressure d) There is a house cat which should have been mentioned for people with allergies. e) The continental breakfast consisted of toast, instant coffee, tea, yogurt, and cereal. f) When we arrived, we drove into the driveway. Before we could get out of the car, the owner was telling us how rude we were for driving into the driveway. We backed out and parked on the street. The owner mentioned that we should have read the email about parking instructions. She never emailed anything about parking. d) Once inside, the owner told me that I only reserved a room for 3 people. I showed her the reservation, which was clearly for 4 people.

Do not even think about staying at this property. I booked a week before then the host rang us when we were on the way to the property to say that we would have to pay an extra $25 because she thought Wotif was taking too much cut. We refused so she refused to honour the booking.

Shareen is an absolutely lovely host, kind & considerate & helpful. The home is gorgeous, and walkable to the ocean/beachfront which we loved. Very comfortable accommodations. The one less desirable aspect is that it's a B&B, and you would expect a decent breakfast. But The Bays breakfast option is toast & jams, some cereals, maybe a yogurt variety. Would have been nice to have a more rounded breakfast (eggs, fruits, juices for example) , especially when you choose a B&B specifically for the meal part.

The owner Shareen was kind and hospitable. She made the stay warm and friendly. Each day she had baked something delicious for breakfast (pancakes, focaccia, muffins) which was a lovely thought. The location is excellent enabling a quick walk down to restaurants, cafes and the beachfront promenade. Highly recommended

Not much privacy, overbearing host, waited for a while outside calling phone # and ringing bell but no answer. The room is okay but very dated. Should be cheaper; otherwise, I would not recommend it. But keep in mind I am very picky.

Shareen was an excellent host who treated us so well and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. This property was luxurious, the bed really comfortable and more than we expected.

Absolutely fantastic stay, in a very nice neighbourhood. Host could not have been more accommodating with a strong desire to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Neatness and cleanliness was beyond phenomenal!

Very quiet, good walk to shopping centre.

Watch the rules. Easy walk to beach. No shoes in house.

Great location Beautiful room Very clean and tidy Very much a home away from home

Lovely place to stay in nice area with lovely view of Rangitoto. Beds were so comfortable and host really nice/ friendly. We will definitely stay again

I loved my stay at The Bays - very comfortable bed, clear instructions, helpful hostess - would definitely recommend to the solo female traveler - close to Mission Bay area with endless selection of eateries within walking distance - thank you very much

Very clean and comfortable B&B. Owner requests that shoes be removed and no pork products may be cooked. It’s an easy walk from this residential neighborhood to the beach that has good restaurants.

Host was very nice the location for what we wanted was excellent very good experience

Quiet. Hard to get into if achool hours. Very near school.

피지에서 이민 온 여주인은 고객에게 다소 무례했으며 아침식사는 시리얼 우유등을 꺼내 스스로 먹는것이므로 기대해서 안됨. 이층까지 케리어를 스스로 옮겨야 하므로 짐이 무거울 경우 선택에 신중해야함 청소상태는 비교적 좋으며 주택가에 있음. 차로 10분거리에 해변에 있는 식당들이 많이 있음. 그러나 물가는 비싼편임

Thanks for the pancakes, you made us, delicious breakfast. The motel is fascinating, I would recommend my friends and family about your motel. Thank you.
