This modern facility is really perfect for a family of 4, like us. OK, so the pool is a little small by Gold Coast standards but we had no complaints from our 11 and 13 year old in the 2 weeks we stayed here.
Being on the Belongil side of Byron does mean you need some transport if you dont want to risk the slightly more dangerous surf there. But a bike is perfect and there is a rental right next door.
The open plan works well with a good kitchen.
Its great to be away from the town centre.
My only gripe was that the wifi was very slow - but it is meant to be a holiday!

We booked this because we got 2 bedrooms and a bit of space when compared to some other expensive and small apartments. Lots of space inside. Outside kitchen area in our apartment was great to cook our fresh prawns and crab purchased in byron. 2 minutes walk from a lovely beach (across the road) and 15-20 minutes walk into town along the beach. 2 doors down is a really great bar/coffee/food place - very low key and all ages welcome. The pool is a little small and suits kids really but we waded in and sat around the pool when we were not at the beach. All in all a quiet, clean and very enjoyable spot to have a break - just that little bit away from the big crowds and the traffic. Suit couples or families - they mingle easily here.

We were lucky enough to get a last minute booking for a terrace villa at East the day before our arrival in Byron (esp since it was Xmas-new years period).

The external of the resort is nice but doesn't look like much from the street however the villas are AMAZING! The moment we stepped inside we felt super relaxed and were blown away by how luxurious everything was. We had an awesome balcony overlooking the garden and pool with built in BBQ kitchen inc. sink - there's also a private staircase that goes up to your own observation deck with views to the ocean. The villa has everything plus more than you could ever possibly need!

The only negative with the villa which didn't bother us though was the tv's - it just seemed odd to have big old fashioned tv's rather than flat screens when eveything else about the villa was first class (hardly a negative to be concerned about though).

Location is perfect as it's just across the road from the beach at Belongil so is only a 15 min walk into town along the beach - exactly what we wanted as we didn't want to be in the busy heart of town. It was very peaceful at East and every staff member we encountered were extremely friendly and genuine.

We would definitely stay at East again if we're up in Byron in the future!

Everything was as expected, very well fitted out with all the mod cons. Close to the town centre only a 15 minute stroll along the beach. Can not complain at all. Room was very clean, pool was delightful and the staff were very friendly and eager to assist. We will be back.
