Reviews Summary

Bathers Beach House is lauded for its stunning beachfront location, offering breathtaking ocean views and a relaxed beach vibe, especially during sunset. Diners frequently praise the generous portions of delicious seafood and the exceptional service from friendly staff. However, some patrons have reported negative experiences with the quality of certain dishes, particularly mussels, and issues with drink preparation and value.

"Had lunch here. Serving time was quick and orderly, good service. Although my hot sauce/tasbaco never arrive. Food portion is large, yummy.
Mate has gnocchi tomatoes (not photo), each gnocchi size is too huge and therefore not evenly blended with sauce and a bit bland.
Location is next to beach. Awesome weather for us when we were there."

Win Le

"Stunning location over looking the beach, what a way to spend a Sunday morning eating brunch with a few early ales. Hubby and I sat upstairs so had views for miles. Delicious food, huge portions, table app ordering and excellent service to boot. Lovely premises and very clean and tidy. Definitely have this marked for a return visit, highly recommend."

Tina Bidois

"Very pleasant right on the beach.
We went to see the sculptures and enjoyed a meal afterwards. Excellent bucket of prawns - good value, and battered fish and chips. (A few customers were tucking into loaded plates of mussels with obvious enjoyment, too.)
Polite, pleasant, cheery service with a smile from door to table.
We hadn't booked and asked for a table by the open doors. Nothing was too much trouble."

Susan Dunn
