A great stay at 'By the Bay'
'By the Bay' is in a great location at St Leonards. It is close to lots of Bellarine Peninsula highlights. The accommodation is very comfortable and with ample space. The lush backyard & garden was perfect for our Frenchie who loved exploring. Kaz is a perfect host & provided everything you will ever need.

Clean and convenient.
Caz was very helpful. Being seniors, we were back from our family function relatively early - watching tv in bedroom not very comfortable, although Caz told us the screen in the lounge/study, with its comfortable seating, would soon be available to use as a normal tv. Would stay there again if available.

Great location. Comfortable, relaxing.stay.
Beautifully appointed premises, Every detail had been thought of:ample breakfast choices, all kinds of soaps and lotions, a lovely, big bath ,even a shawl to don if too cool to sit outside and everything spotless. Both bedrooms open onto a lovely garden with private table,chairs and cushions.. Everything is very tastefully done leaving nothing more to be desired. A truly gracious host made us totally welcome, including our small dog.

Great little spot at St Leonards
Caz had thought of everything. The place was immaculately clean and well set up. The little extra touches such as the snacks and breakfast we very much appreciated. Really quiet location that is walking distance to beach and main street.
