Just wanted to share that I used your rooms today – was moderating for Nature. The experience was great. The host was kind, welcoming and lovely with our older respondents and they all enjoyed the snacks.

I want to thank you all again for making our experience seamless at your venue and the support you’ve provided from pain killers, to switching noisy food packages to popcorn to IT troubleshooting. Our clients seemed happy and well-looked after as well which is much appreciated.

Completed a recent product test on sauce, staff are always very polite, smile and efficient. Offices are clean and well maintained, spacious and not overcrowded, a very professionally organised and run research centre, well done and thanks.

We have used the Bayside Focus Group Rooms a number of times and found them to be an excellent partner for qualitative research work. Clear communication, well organised and great facilitation every time. Highly recommended!


I always enjoy working with the professional team at Bayside Focus Groups Rooms. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, and they can accommodate a broad range of project types. The group rooms themselves are lovely, a relaxing and productive environment for both researchers and participants.


Hi Guys, I just wanted to drop a note and say thank you so much for the fantastic recruitment & group room hire for our recent project! Your group rooms are my favourite in Melbourne. So much thoughtfulness in every detail; both from my side of the fence as the moderator, as well as for those participating. Being a very hands on and creative project, the space played an important role to foster creative thinking. The environment at Bayside facilitates a comfy vibe, and your team was beyond lovely to accommodate all our needs. Thanks again!”
