Of course — here’s a more relaxed, natural version: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A really lovely stay We stayed in one of the studio rooms for a night at On the Edge of the Bay Resort and had such a great time. The location is amazing — our window looked straight out onto the beach, and we even spotted a little wallaby right outside. Waking up to the sunrise over the water was pretty special. The staff were all super friendly and easy to deal with, and the breakfast was delicious. It’s a perfect spot for exploring Wineglass Bay and the nearby vineyards. Would happily stay here again!

Postcard perfect views and great service

We loved our four night stay at the Edge of the Bay resort. The view from our ocean suite room looked like a postcard and everyone from the GM (Isaac) to the Maitre’d (Sam), Breakfast Manager (Jamie) and waitstaff (Angela and Andrea) were super friendly. The complimentary breakfast was great and we enjoyed a great three course dinner with a bottle of wine at the restaurant one evening for only $150 which was excellent value considering the quality of the food, the great service and beautiful Jews of the ocean and mountains. We’ll definitely be back.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. They provided guidance on local restaurants and hiking the trail to Wineglass Bay. Our stay was brief but lovely. The view from our suite was amazing. Only downside was that the WiFi was not working but we made due- who needs WiFi with such a beautiful view.

What a unforgivable “gives”!

WiFi is no where to be found except for their own business titled WiFi. Toaster is missing and kettle has a rusting boiler surface. Restaurant is closed which did not sync WITH the website. This nearly starved me after I arrived near 5 pm and have yet to have any meal since 8 am.. had to google for nearest F&B outlet which is not matching to my expectation as restaurant but had to make do with it for my hungry stomach .

The unit was wonderfully positioned with water views through a wall of glass then onto the private balcony overlooking native vegetation down to the water's edge. The sunrise was spectacular through this window, and the sunset was similarly beautiful through the restaurant's windows. Our meal at Lure Wine Bar & Restaurant was really memorable, tasty, perfectly cooked, vegetables hot and delicious. Staff service was excellent, local wines complimented the meal.
