Questo motel svolge quello per cui è stato prenotato: fornite una comoda camera da letto con parcheggio auto. Migliorerei la lavanderia permettendo di usare gratuitamente la lavatrice e metterei una lavastoviglie nella cucina per rendere più facile e più ecologico lavare i piatti

The location of this property was perfect as we don’t want to drive further away after our tour. Parking though adequate is a bit tight, there’s not much space to manoeuvre especially when driving out. Also there is no lock in the toilet so we had to find a way how to make the door stay shut.

Nice clean units on the further side of Buffalo Beach from town. Quiet and across the street from the beach. Check in is quick. The place is lovely and clean and spacious, it's a 2 burner hob with a small fridge but it was adequate for our stay. There is a BBQ. Now I'm hoping they receive this message and send us our 3 yr old's unicorn stuffie that we left behind in the bed!! Here's hoping.

We had a spacious ground floor studio for 2 nights. Very well presented, super clean, equipped with everything one might need even for a week stay. The bed was super comfey and the unit warm. A few minutes drive to the town centre so an excellent location. Warren & Robyn are excellent hosts. Can highly recommend the Bayside.

Office person was very unpleasant when checking in. She even came out of the office and yelled at me to read the advertising. I was shocked as was my sister from the USA. Room was very cold and faced a grey wall at front and a mouldy fence at back.
