Bit of Noise at Night from the Pub
NickAustraliaGreat location. Lovely staff. Old school vibe.
Was reasonably priced.
Not well maintained. Some things very worn or grubby. Shower never holding a temperature. Very noisy with all the bars at night.
OliviaAustraliawe didn’t end up staying here as the door didn’t lock properly & our room was 20m from a load/packed pub (room 11). Did not feel safe.
GalynaAustraliaNice central location
Close to the beach, central location, very comfortable bed, friendly staff.
TonyAustraliagreat spot
maybe a mop to be able to clean bathroom floor plus an extra floor mat for the bathroom
SharonAustraliaLocation was amazing - bed very comfortable
Thought for price room could have been serviced every 2nd day.

What we’d check for you here
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Bay Motel
What time is check-in and check-out at Bay Motel?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Bay Motel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Bay Motel?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Bay Motel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Bay Motel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Bay Motel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
