Bayside Retreat is a coastal escape nestled amongst the gum trees. Located on the upper bluff of St Leonards and bordered by the beautiful Port Philip and Swan Bays. Our peaceful and relaxing seaside retreat offers you a quieter life. We cater to couples and families alike and can accommodate up to 12 people.
