The Beach House at Bayside  

On Albany’s Middleton Bay, a short walk past the dunes to Middleton Beach and a quick drive to Emu Beach and Emu Point. This family-run, seven-room boutique B&B and guesthouse sits about 4 km from the city centre and is a tidy base for exploring Lake Seppings and the Old Farm on Strawberry Hill.

Intimate, hosted stay with individually decorated rooms and a relaxed seaside vibe—expect pillowtop beds, premium bedding, in-room fridges, LCD TVs, MP3 docking stations and private bathrooms with tubs or showers. The property features a terrace and garden with sea views and a cozy lobby fireplace. Hosts provide a warm, personalized service so you won’t feel like “Room 101.”

Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and a bountiful cooked-to-order breakfast made from local produce (included in many rates). On-site highlights include a terrace and garden, concierge and tour desk, library, children’s playroom, laundry and dry-cleaning, free parking and 24-hour access to a duty manager. Complimentary airport transfers are available.

Complimentary high-speed internet (wired and wireless), in-room telephones with local/national calls, luggage storage and manned reception—simple, reliable support for work or planning your next excursion.

Daily bountiful breakfast cooked to order uses local produce and daily specials. The guesthouse also offers limited-hours room service and an on-site bar/restaurant serving local flavours—great for a relaxed evening after a day on the coast.
