Lovely views, light, airy and comfortable .
This home had a welcoming feel. The kitchen was well supplied with quality appliances and a very generous array of cooking and baking utensils. Great having a laundry to catch up while travelling too. The bedrooms had quality linen ,comfortable beds and lovely floor to ceiling windows throughout the house offered light and breezes throughout the day. Off street undercover parking to the front door and only a couple of steps to enter felt like a luxury after our 2 previous rentals with flights of external stairs in cold , wet weather. A very pleasant stay. Thanks too to Matt for his friendly and prompt communication style .

Clean - Comfortable - Quiet - Great Location
We loved our stay at Bays Rest! Its clean and comfortable, light and airy with quality fittings and lovely views over the bay. Matt was the perfect host. The directions he provided were easy to follow making check-in a breeze especially as we arrived in the dark. Undercover parking right at the doorstep was very convenient. Great Location! Quiet and peaceful. I particularly enjoyed an early morning jog along the track around the bay which is just down the hill from Bays Rest.
