Fantastic experience! Bay Island Lifestyle was an awesome day out on the water. The coffee was surprisingly great for a casual spot. Service was friendly, relaxed and really welcoming — they made everything easy. The whole place has that laid-back island vibe: good music, great views and a fun atmosphere. Perfect for a weekend escape and we’ll definitely be back.

A lovely business for coffee and water sports equipment, even beach wheel chair for the disabilities. Extremely kind bunch. My daughter and I was unlucky to be stung by a blue box jelly fish, and they team came and helped with ice and warm water towel. It took us about 40 minutes to calm the itchiness from the sting. One of the gentlemen from the business was going around to remove the jelly fish from the beach so the children won’t get stung, very kind of him. Love this group and we are sure to come back to support them again and again. Thank you so much guys. Love you heaps.

We were lucky with weather yesterday morning. Thank you Karen and Aaron for guiding us on 3hr kayak tour. Very enjoyable and would recommend to others.

I came for a quick kayak and ended up staying three hours because the vibe was just too good to leave. It’s like a portal to island life without having to catch the ferry. The coffee is legit, the gear is top-notch, and the crew are absolute gems. They even have a toy library for the kids, which kept the small humans busy while I pretended to be an explorer. Most relaxed spot in Brisbane, hands down.

Love this business in Cleveland so much. Staff are friendly, know their stuff and easy to approach. Also love that they are disability accessible, being inclusive really shows the care the staff have for all members of the community. Hats off for this! Coffee and cold drinks as well as snacks make the whole experience ' just right'. Thanks to Karen and staff for providing this wonderful service to all.
