We stayed for 4 nights in a 2 bedroom villa just before Easter. We were very happy with the villa which was very clean and well planned out. The pool area was very tropical and kept at a lovely 28 degrees. We were in villa 17 which is at the rear of the complex so had no noise from Shirley... More

We've just come back from 6 nights at this property with our one year old. I was hoping for a ground floor unit but the place was initially full over the weekend so we got a balcony. In the end this was better for us with the toddler as the balcony kept her under control, apart from her climbing tendancies.... More

We stayed at Crest Apartments for 4 nights with our 5 month old baby. The reception office is located in the garage & we were greeted by the manager who sarcastically commented that we had packed too much luggage & didn't know how to pack for a baby. We had booked on wotif for $200 per night for 4 nights.... More

We were interested in staying at Crest for a few nights and sent through an email enquiring if any of the apartments could be hired for a shorter period than a 4 night minimum. No problems if we couldn't, however we expected a polite response, not "go stay in a motel for such a short stay". I don't want to... More

Stayed here for a week on schools. Felt really secure with wrist bands (although still had friends to visit), good location close enough to the action but far enough to sleep the schools hang over away from the noise during the day or night. Nice secluded beach not too far away. I think we paid $700 for the week for... More

We stayed in apartment 5 which is at the front of the complex on the main road. The apartment itself was good quality - comfortable bed, well equipt kitchen and nicely decorated. The location was good - only 5-10 mins walk into town and about 5 mins from the beach. It is worth noting that there isn't direct access to... More

Stayed at the crest apartments for a 3 night break with my wife. Both of us really like this place. We have been coming to Byron twice a year for 6 years and have stayed at many places over that time. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Alot cheaper than many similar accommodation. Easy access to beach and... More

Tired, mean & basic. New towels, servicing, a supply of laundry detergent and tea towels and quality refurbishment would improve these overpriced apartments which are located on the busy, jammed road into town
