We have often seen this hotel and thought it must be a great hotel to stay in. The location is superb - it is right in the middle of town where everything happens.. close to restaurants and shops and you can walk to the beach from here.... but it is a steep walk. We had a room with a sea... More

Air conditioner did not work but the 2nd night they set... More

Very friendly staff that welcomed us on arrival.Our room had a view on to the lookout beach and so we were pretty pleased.The rooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. Safe parking and tranquil location. The restaurant was used for breakfast only and... More

Unfriendly, uninterested and unprofessional staff. 1 or 2 star run down rooms. We arrived an hour after check-in and our room was open and unlocked and still not cleaned. Staff was uninterested in helping us and said we should try coming back later. After asking if the cleaning of our room could be prioritised, manager on duty reluctantly instructed the... More

This is a basic, clean, no frills hotel in a great location and very good value for what you pay. There are many B & Bs in town that charge twice what the Bayview do - yes you do not get fancy soaps in the bathroom or a decanter of sherry in your room - but if you want a... More

I stayed over with my family at the penthouse for three days and what an amazing view, friendly staff, and a basic but satisfying breakfast. The view of the ocean from the room was awesome!
