Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It's very difficult to review a perfect place.
We were meant to stay for two nights and due to "unexpected circumstances" ended up in Esperance, for a full week!!
Helen had the gift of turning our nasty(car) experience in something magic!!
Helen and Milton B&B is in a stunning location...few steps and you are on one of the most pristine beaches in Australia.
Open your blinds and enjoy the view of surfing dolphins.
Rooms are big, clean and with every comfort you can think of.
Breakfast is very good and the eggs are super organic and fresh.
We can only recommend this lovely accommodation, not only for the location (perfect), or for the room (perfect), or for breakfast (perfect) but, above all, for the beautiful people that own the place.
We'll be back soon!!

Our stay at the Bay of Islands B & B in Esperance was excellent. The hospitality afforded by Helen and Melvin together with their local knowledge and friendly advice was very much appreciated. Staying at this very comfortable B&B with its "million dollar view" added great value to our short break down south.

If you like a room with a splendid view, if you appreciate friendly, personable & lovely hosts, and if a wholesome, tasty breakfast is important for you, look no further. Bay of Islands B&B, with it's hosts Helen & Milton, is ticking all the right boxes.

We very much enjoyed our stay. When we come back to Esperance, Bay of Islands B&B will again be our place of choice.

Great to hear we're doing it "right". After years of travelling and finding what is important to us, we set out to make that happen in our B&B/home. Look forward to your return.

We stayed at this bed and breakfast over Christmas 2010. My partner had just started working away for a period of six months so we decided to meet in Esperance for a romantic weekend at what presented on the website like a lovely sounding b and b. Nothing could be further from the truth. I should have taking notice of the signs, for when i spoke to Helen the host, not only did she hike the price up hugely from what it was on the website, but when i had to automatically transfer the money into her account - else she would give the room away ( note: the place has 3 rooms , 2 of which were empty most of our stay) - I mistakenly put 40 dollars over the required amount in there, and she wouldn't give it back!!! Saying , "well its good for you because you have the best rooma nd good for me because i have to work over Christmas" Yes, more fool me. When we arrived on Christmas morning she was not there nor present for the wholer day and it took us 45 minutes of searching and trying to phone her to no avail to locate the key. After this time she finally answered and told us where it was. Merry Christmas. Then the bed and breakfst from hell really started. On the phone i had told her we have a young scottish terrier puppy and was it okay for us to bring him, she said "well I have a dog so i don't see why not". When she got home from her Christmas dinner without greeting us she stormed out the back saying "i didn't know anything about a dog". Psycho. ANd demanded we keep him chained up out the back ( which was a long way from our room - he was 4 months old at the time) in the cold all night. We put him in the car to sleep. When collecting him to put him in the car, she came charging down the stairs, banging on the door - 11pm at night - screaming, "is that dog in the room?". In short we were happy to leave then and there and ended up agreeing to this with her husband who said we would get a refund - aside from our Christmas being entirely ruined - where she hollered , "you will stay the night, you are not getting a refund" ( except for the following nights room). we did not sleep at all, and in the morning we left - without breakfast, and Helen kept $50 of our money for carpet cleaning costs, though there was not a sinle mark on the carpet. Aside from all of this the barbecue did not work, you had no access to the house, the spa was a plastic and cheap in a stuffy room where you had to take only plastic glasses. Helen lied and scammed and shammed from the first moment to the last. i wrote a huge letter to the Esperance council regarding it. Stay away. The place and the person are both simply awful.

My husband and I have stayed at a few bed and breakfast accommodation locations across Australia. This one takes the cake. The view of the beautiful beach from out bedroom was completely incredible. The enchanting West Beach is just across the road and is perfect for swimming, romantic strolls or even as we enjoyed an entire day with the dogs. Putting our much loved pets in the nearby kennel, we enjoyed them during the day, and had this lovely piece of accommodation for ourselves. Helen and Milton were extremely accommodating and offered great tips on Esperance attractions and must sees. We'll be back for sure.

We stayed for 2 night's in esperance. Excellent room with ocean view. Direct access to the beach. Home made great breakfast. Our host Helen gave us very good tips about cape leGrand NP. Thanks to her tips we were able to see cangaroo's at the beach.
We had to share the bathroom with other guest (only seccond night).

Should you be considering this BnB do not be influenced by the favourable comments on hosts, delicious scrambled eggs or the possibility of seeing Dolphins, there are downsides

Our stay was for 4 nights and both day and night conditions were not pleasant. Esperance is notoriously windy and this BnB is set on an extremely exposed site.

Free parking is advertised however it is the safety of your vehicle that is of concern. Parking is not on site. We were asked not to park on verge as this upsets the neighbours but could park in the public beach car park across the road. Did have a question when other guests arriving after us were allowed to park on verge?

Beauty is everywhere in Esperance with weather conditions much better in town only 5 minutes away, so you will not be missing out on anything.

If you have a choice of your timing to visit Esperance go for its less windy season

House rules and requirements are not guest friendly and at $185 a night twin share this is not budget accommodation.

Would not recommend!

Waking up to a beautiful sunrise, overlooking the magnificent beach which is only a stones throw away, so close that you can hear the waves crashing from the bed! The room is clean, spacious and modern. The host's were absolutely amazing, have quite a lot of knowledge about the local area and were able to offer us breakfast earlier than usual so we could make our drive East. Best scrambled egg's I've ever had!

Bay of Islands B&B is probably about as close to perfect as accommodation can get.

We were after a peaceful end to our hectic holiday and that's exactly what we got. From the very start to the very end of our 4 days staying with Helen & Milton, we were made to feel extremely welcome. I can't give the place enough praise - from Helen's incredible scrambled eggs in the morning, to her tips on what to do in the local area, everything was absolutely spot on.

She even upgraded us to one of the best rooms for our last couple of nights, as it was sat empty. Just another example of her going the extra mile to make our stay memorable. The icing on the cake was watching the dolphins surf in the waves from the balcony during our last breakfast (not sure if Helen had made this happen, but I wouldn't be surprised).

If we ever return to Esperance (which we'd love to do), then we won't hesitate in booking straight back in. Worth every penny.

Room Tip: If you can, try and get one of the rooms at the front. Breathtaking view to wake up to.
