Bay Lodge Apartments

The overall stay was average... make sure you read the fine print before you book this place (I didn't!). - Location - ok.. not too close to the beach as it says but there is restaurants, supermarkets 10 min walking. - Service - was ok... I barely see anyone apart from the time I got the keys anyway. - Apartment - we stay on the ground floor. very noisy and windows don't have enough privacy. ah! if you are a tall person watch your head walking around the apartment. - THERE IS NO AIR-CON apart from a small one in the living room, the bedrooms have fans. We had mild temperature with raining days during our stay... hotter than that you will melt inside. - Supplies: if you are staying for more than 3 days and have more than 2 people you have to buy toilet paper. - Pool - nice but need maintenance... not really kids friendly. My son cut his legs twice on the first day from broken tiles and slippery floor. For the price we paid you can definitely find something better

Amazing!! Good value. Tennis courts, free access via request to tennis rachets. Nice BBQ area and pool/spa. Minor issue, TV remote doesn't work for our room. Lady at reception was fully aware. Her reply was "not replacing a whole tv over faulty remote, use buttons on side" (her manner or approach was carefree attitude). TV was like 65' LCD, but deterred to use it dor much. She claimed in the past, changed batteries various times and still not working. IF Foxtel was an offering, would know nothing about it in 7days. Felt to deterred to even play around with channels. Just kept channel 7, operated on/off switch for tv access.

Location, friendliness of staff, cleanliness, barbecue

Close to beach and town centre. Very nice and clean apartment complex.

Lovely place to stay on a budget. Close to all forms of public transport. Short walk to Cahill Ave. Nice pool and great spa!

The owners are very welcoming, great location and easy walking to the esplanade. undercover car park

Great location and easy access. The Indian family downstairs continually cooking curries that had a very strong aweful odour.

Very tired and dated rooms. Water pressure on shower was terrible. Not made clear enough beforehand that all consumables (toilet paper, soaps, detergents, shampoo and conditioner, etc.) other than the minimum supplied when you arrive are your responsibility and do not get replenished. Servicing only happens if you stay 8 nights or longer. The owner was pleasant enough though. Note for disabled persons - there is no disabled access that we could see (to third floor anyway, which our room was on).

The place was clean and there was more than enough space for the 4 for us. We also love that there was 2 toilets and a washer and dryer plus a drying rack. TV has a wide range of channels. Kitchen was sufficiently stocked. The apartment is located in a rather convenient area, 10minutes from supermarket Coles, an asian mart, several eateries and cafes, and right next to a petrol station.

Close to everything but far enough away to be quiet
