The Beach House At Bayside

Comfortable bed and clean room. Lovely breakfast and facilities. Love the thoughtful extras in the lounge/games room. Staff was so friendly and helpful.

Nothing

Location was amazing unfortunately the weather wasn’t wonderful so we didn’t get to enjoy that beautiful courtyard that we could view from the breakfast area. I’d really love to come back at a different time of the year to enjoy it fully. But there were so many beautiful places to sit and relax outside our suite.

Good location

The shower was nice and the bed was comfortable.

This "Garden Room" requires a comprehensive renovation as it presented an outdated aesthetic, reminiscent of a vintage second-hand store, with furnishings and decor that were frankly unacceptable. The discrepancy between the advertised ratings and our experience suggests a potential misrepresentation, particularly given its classification as a 5-star, 9 out of 10, and "SUPERB" accommodation on bookings.com. Ther "other" rooms sound like they are much nicer than the garden view room. Maybe this should be mentioned upon booking. Having previously experienced various accommodations across Perth, Busselton, Margaret River, and Denmark, we anticipated a superior experience in Albany, especially considering the premium pricing and the promise of a complimentary cooked breakfast and "boutique" lodging. Regrettably, this has proven to be the most expensive and least satisfactory accommodation we have encountered in Western Australia. Furthermore, the advertised cooked breakfast, ( which should have stated "subject to availability"), was substituted with a continental offering due to staffing constraints, leaving us with limited options beyond Greek yogurt and a banana, as other selections were predominantly carbohydrate-based. No microwave or cooking facilities in the room, yet there's a huge black fridge placed in the corner like a piece of artwork. Why, have it? The kitchenette bench top was undersized and was difficult to make a cuppa. The plates provided were too big to fit in the sink to wash. Nothing made any sense. 3 huge mirrors on the wall where you can watch yourself eat while sitting on the grecian outdoor furniture setting which was very uncomfortable. Also mirrors upstairs overlooking the bed, was off-putting as well. The location is wonderful as its a quick walk to the beach. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good.

The million small touches made our stay

If you are in the main house there needs to be a time when the people in the lounge should keep it down
