We just returned from an 11-night stay at Crest Apartments - we stayed in apartment #20 which is a privately owned rental called Villa Aitutaki. The villa is absolutely lovely - the decor is more modern and tasteful than the regular rooms at Crest, but also a little more expensive; $270/nt in late Jan/Feb. The villa was our little haven...

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Crest Apartments. We are in our mid 50's and were visiting Byron to surprise our son who was also visiting, as well as have a short getaway. Don't be put off by the 70's office where everything was on display. The one bedroom apartment was as advertised and our request... More

Stayed at Crest Apartments during the first week of January 2013 with my young family. (Wife and 2 children). Apartments are a little dated, think circa 1990's but very clean, pleasant and functional . The staff are extremely helpful and care about their apartments. Parking is convenient and access is great. I'm a massive fan of Byron Bay because it... More

We stayed in a 1 bedroom balcony apartment overlooking the pool for a week. Everything was as advertised, clean and had all facilities we needed. The apartment was centrally located, only 5 minute walk to shops and beach and our car was in secure parking. All staff were friendly and helpful. Would be happy to recommend.

The folks at the front desk are like the uncle who pats you on the back and cracks a joke that is slightly off, but at the same time you know his heart is genuinely in the right place and he's trying hard. The units are a bit dated. They need new lighting ('daylight' white compact flouro lighting just doesn't... More

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
