Historical information

The Two Bays guesthouse badges were souvenirs but were also worn by staff.
The Rice family owned Two Bays Private Hotel, purchased in 1919 when it was a small cottage called "Cooee". It was immediately extended and renamed "Two Bays". Effie Rice ran the guesthouse for 29 years, selling in 1948 to Fred Vairy. Milton and Florence Rowe became the managers and later purchased the business. The next owners were the Williams from c1957 and then John and Wilma Pettigroves until in 1985 Two Bays was sold and demolished for a new apartment complex.
