The Beach House at Bayside

When you book a stay here and you arrive, you get the feeling you are staying in a big home. There are so many homely people touches eg a fire in the lounge, chocolates there too and some port for the end of the night, beautiful comfy beds and spacious bathrooms. Great range of breakfast options too. Staff were very warm and friendly with all the guests.

This was a beautiful guest house - everything about it was first class. Rooms themselves clean, modern , comfortable. Lovely breakfasts , and added bonus of cake and port available in a very nice lounge . Could come and go at any time , free laundry service . Room had spa bath and felt very luxurious.

Wonderful Stay! We had such a great stay here. From the moment we arrived to freshly baked sweet treats and port on offer, the place felt very welcoming. We stayed as two couples in rooms 5 and 6 and both rooms were very comfortable, spotlessly clean, and parts of them have been refurbished. Yes, some of the furniture is slightly old fashioned but everything is well maintained, immaculate and adds to the charm. The beds were very comfortable and the bed linen was very good quality which ensured a peaceful night’s sleep. We were slightly apprehensive about arriving after reading some of the later reviews which appear to be after the previous owners sold up. However, everything was fantastic. The duty manager, Christina, was welcoming and friendly. We overheard her going out of her way to accommodate two guests who had been double booked by their booking company, and other guests said the garden suites were also lovely. We had a delicious cooked breakfast who we were told by Christina was done by a new ‘apprentice’ and it was delicious so long may she continue at this lovely guest house. There was also plenty of fresh coffee, juices, fruits, yoghurts and different breads and muffins for toast on offer. Breakfast was extremely well organised considering it was only Christina and the apprentice working. We were genuinely sad to leave and would have loved to have stayed longer. Next time we visit Albany we will stay again and can’t wait to see the future of this wonderful place. Thanks again, the McKays. Highly highly recommend.
