My girlfriend and I stayed for 1 night in a ground floor, 1 bed apartment with ocean views. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodation as the apartment was much nicer than the photos on the website. The apartment was nice and clean. The beds were nice and comfortable and we were especially grateful for the electric blankets as it was a chilly night. The linen was all of a high standard.
This motel is pet friendly and the owner made us and the 2 dogs very welcome, even giving us a late check out.
The motel is in an awesome location with everything you need within easy walking distance. Highly recommend for budget travelers

Room was an ice berg when we entered only to find there was no heating whatsoever in the middle of winter. Curtains were covered in black mould on the bottom from damp windows. I would return in summer as it right near the water and good location though would give it a miss during winter season.

All our apartments have heaters but you will need to open the bedroom cupboard to locate them.Had you consulted management you would have had a warm apartment. In winter mould is a constant problem which is continually sprayed with Curtain Magic to remove .

My husband and I had 3 nights here. The units were lovely and the weather was great. The units were very well appointed and the views were great. Within walking distance of the township and ferries. Would highly recommend this motel.

We required a pet friendly motel so booked Bayview for this reason only. The manageress, Jo, has been most helpful and did all that she could to help us. However, the owner of the motel let her down. He attempted to fix our tv which had a reception issue & he left the aerial stuck on the wall with tape which duly fell off. He said that it was temporary until the next morning when it would be fixed. He never returned to do anything. Jo kindly offered us another room to view tv. Not ideal but did her best.
The overall quality of the room is not the best. Yes, it is clean but is older and lacks function of air quality . No air conditioning or heating. The room is stuffy. Location is on a corner. Whilst the view is stunning the noise is bad. Constant traffic noise.
Handy to walk everywhere but the motel really needs an upgrade. Compared to 4 star the difference in cost is not a lot and this is definitely a 3 star.
A final word- appreciated the efforts from Jo.
The owner needs to step up the standards; tv aerial issues for five nights is not good enough.
