Had to call the Village recently from England because on more than one occasion as we had concerns for our elderly relative who lived there. We lost all contact with our 92 year old Auntie. With no other family or friends in Australia to help we left messages at Bawway Village to help us locate our Auntie or tell us if she was OK or what had happened to her? No one bothered to help us or email/call us back. We were all beside ourselves being helpless on the other side of the world and having lost all contact with our elderly relative. We had to enlist the help from local police in the end. Unprofessional and unhelpful.
Shame the person who sells the homes in Bayway’s doesn’t tell the new buyer about illegal work done by previous owner.
Very friendly village for over 50’s lots of social activities residents are very supportive of each other
We moved in 2.5 years ago into Bayway Village into a brand new purpose built 3 bedroom house. Our neighbours are very friendly and helpful, always looking out for you. The Village has lots of facilities including Libraries, Gym, Snooker Room, Cinema, Craft and Reading Rooms. The security is very good with coded gates and neigbourhood watch. The indoor heated pool is fantastic next to the BBQ area. The Community Hall is huge and have regular Parties & Artists which is located next to our Croquet area, Bowling Green and Tennis Court. Small dogs are welcome and can have a run at the Village's lead - free dog run. You can do as much as you like with various clubs at the Village for Lesuire or Competition, or of course just lay back, relax and do nothing. A great place to live ! Greg Shepheard 455.

Good community, but the roads in part of the park are very narrow. Many of the cabins in that part have their front steps right at the road edge. The cabins are also packed in pretty close to one another. The northern part of the park is better laid out. They have a bowling green which appears to get a lot of use. The village used to be a caravan park and last I was there, evidence of that history is still visible.
Since I've moved into the village 6 weeks ago I have met many wonderful people and have made many new friends. The sad part of my new home at the village is the lack of respect shown from the manager. I purchased my house through the village office. On several occasions in front of various friends, I was assured that my dog would also be welcomed into the village. Unfortunately, 6 days after I paid and signed up for the house, the manager dropped a letter into my letterbox saying my dog must go. I have submitted all relevant paperwork which proves my dog is an assistance dog. The manager, after being exceptionally rude, then dropped another letter into my letter box refusing my assistance dog to stay. I tried talking to this man, on several occasions still to no avail. I have contacted relevant support groups and they are having the same trouble with the manager. This village advertises themselves as a 'pet friendly' village but refuses to allow my assistance dog to stay. Quoting from relevant laws and policy 'It is an offence to deny entry to assistance dogs.police and other authorised officers can issue on-the-spot fines or take further summary action.' Just a warning to all that this village isn't as it states and have caused a great deal of stress to me at a time when I should be enjoying my new 'lifestyle. It's such a shame that all residents who have met my dog speak highly of her, her training, her demeanour and how quiet she is, and yet the manager refuses to listen. There are other larger dogs, noisier dogs around the village which aren't assistance dogs. It seems that the manager has taken it upon himself to pick and choose rather than follow laws. Through many conversations with residents it has been mentioned that it is a case of the manager choosing without being reasonable or fair to all. Just such a shame as the residents I've meet are so nice. My reply to the untruths from 'the owner'. It is such a shame that this has had to come to this type of messages, however after trying for weeks, along with Civil Rights'. I'm amazed that after we have been trying to contact you for some weeks that you have managed to respond to review so quickly. Unfortunately, the owner, who hasn't given his name, isn't speaking the truth on various points. I had qualified that my dog was moving to the village with me and have stat decs from the people who came to visit the viĺlage with me. It is not my job to provide you with names etc of other residents dogs. I'm sure, that's what you as an owner pay the manager for. Why am I being singled out when my dog isn't on any 'dangerous breed list, isn't a large or heavy dog? She is classified as a medium dog in size and weight. If you had checked the paperwork I've submitted to your manager you would be aware of this. You would also be aware that all my paperwork which was submitted show that my dog is an assistance dog and does comply with relevant laws. It would also be appreciated if you would take the time to reply to the many requests from 'civial rights department' who have been requesting you to contact them regarding this matter for the last 3 weeks. Thanks.
I have rented in bayway village for a year.. And all I wanted the time was to get out. Office staff are great. But the park workers are a different story. e.g- construction work 6 days a week- turning the water off to the park without notice.- reading the water/electricity meter incorrectly- construction from 6:30am on all 6 days. My overall experience with bayway was disappointing.
