My stay at Water Bay Villa was an interesting mix of charm and challenges. The attic suite had a lovely, homey feel with quirky features, though the low ceilings and steep stairs might not be for everyone. The generous breakfast and proximity to the beach were definite highlights, while some areas could use a bit of tidying up.

The one-bedroom attic suite was charming and comfortable, though I found it somewhat cluttered and noticed the fridge wasn't working as well as it should have. The clawfoot bath was picturesque but might be difficult for those with mobility issues.

The host was welcoming and friendly but the response regarding the fridge could have been better. I appreciated the gesture of bringing milk, but the overall service felt a bit lacking due to the clutter and mess.

While there were some useful facilities like a washer/dryer combo, the overall tidiness of the space could use improvement. With a bit of decluttering, the facilities would shine much more.

My stay at Water Bay Villa was a mixed bag. While the location was fantastic and the decor was beautifully eclectic, the accommodation itself had some issues that were hard to overlook. From the attic stairs to some cleanliness concerns, I'd say there's room for improvement.

The attic space was not what I expected, as I booked a two-bedroom apartment but found one bedroom with inadequate furnishings like a torn sofa. The place smelled musty and was dusty in spots, which was disappointing.
Service

The owner was friendly, but the communication about the fridge and cleanliness was lacking. I received an esky for ice when the fridge was broken, which felt inadequate.

The kitchenette and laundry facilities were handy, but the accommodation could definitely benefit from a thorough decluttering, which should start with the old magazines and leftover items.

I had a good family stay at Water Bay Villa Bed & Breakfast with its superb location near Glenelg, making it easy to explore a variety of excellent restaurants and the beach. However, the attic accommodations above permanent residents might not suit everyone, and some areas could use a bit of attention.

Rooms

The attic rooms were quirky and spacious with lots of personal touches, though I noticed some clutter and wear on the furnishings. The fridge needed replacement as it struggled to keep items cold, and the bathtub lacked a safety handrail.

The washer/dryer combo was a real lifesaver for my beach trips. However, accessing the guest entry point could be challenging due to overgrown plants in the garden.
