"Bayview Towers is in an excellent location. Our room on the 1st floor had an amazing view of the beach. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was simple but plentiful and beautifully cooked. Room was a spaciou size for a studio and had a full size fridge and a washing machine.

It was easy to walk to the beach, kids play area, cafes, bars & restaurants. There was a great cafe downstairs, Jolt, for breakfast if needed. A close drive to other sightseeing spots."
