Confortable et bien situé
Pros:

L’agencement, ses équipements et son emplacement à 15 minutes à pied de la plage et des commerces de Byron

Cons:

Le bruit de la route.
Le design du meuble de salle de bain et du lavabo. Bien trop bas et avec peu de place pour y poser ses affaires de toilette.

Nice apartment which is happily recommend.
Pros:

We had a 2 bed villa for a week which was spacious and well equipped, great to have a washing machine too.
Villa was at the back of complex and so no road noise. Beds were comfortable, we slept well. Small patio garden was nice and pool area was really great. Beach was really close, we could walk there in just over 5 mins. Short walk into town too.

Cons:

Could have been a bit cleaner, plug area around sinks dirty and dust in places.
Decorators on site when we were there which we hadn’t been told about - they entered villa area to paint exterior of villa which they said they had permission to do. Asked them to stop and they did but was a bit stressful for a while and spoilt our last day there. Overall though we had a great stay there and would stay again if we visit Byron as it’s so well located and a decent price for Byron.

A great location, in a comfortable apartment, it has everything you need, with the additional benefit of a pool, bbq, wa
Pros:

The pool was an amazing treat and the location was perfect, not too close to the centre as to be noisy but easily walkable

Cons:

It was slightly noisy from other apartments, could hear them walking etc but hardly noticeable and with the amount of money paid not something you can complain about

Pros:

the sofa bed was much better than expected, really good and easy to fold/unfold, slept well. Living room is nice and big, enough space to eat inside or outside (We were 5 people). Overall a great stay.

Cons:

Needed to clean the outside table and chairs (leaking brown water when moving) But after a quick clean, all good!! They have a cleaning spray and equipment in the flat.

We will return as it is only a 10 min walk into the centre of Byron and a 5 min walk to an unpatrolled beach
Pros:

Dan was always so helpful and nothing was too much trouble for him. Love how the pool is private and that the accommodation does not look directly into the pool area as trees and palms give you that added privacy
Dan was kind enough to allow us a late check out before heading to the airport

Cons:

Nothing it is the perfect getaway

Disappointed
Pros:

Being able to check in early.
The location.
Only saw one staff member which was upon arrival and he was very pleasant and helpful.

Cons:

It was very dirty, including floors, stovetop, shower, benches, cupboards, tv screens and the drawers in the bedroom were blocked off by a side table. It wasn't't as advertised and booked. No coffee machine, the toaster hardly worked and needed to fill the washing machine manually or wait for 3hrs for it to fill on its own as all modern day machines do.
Very disappointed as l booked it for my 60th Birthday get away.

Pros:

Comfortable stay with all facilities that we required for self catering. Bed was large and comfortable. Only a 10 minute walk into town. The apartment was in the middle of the complex so no road noise. I don't think we had neighbours so the apartment was quiet. Car parking under the complex, although I wouldn't want a large vehicle or full carpark which would be challenging for maneuvering. Shirley road is very busy but just need to turn left out of the carpark and go to the roundabout if want to head out of town. Good value for Byron and would happily stay again.

Cons:

TVs didn't have aps and also couldn't cast to the tv's if using your own device.

Pros:

Spotless apartment and every single minute detail covered. It was really important to have a kitchen too and it was extremely well designed and thought through. Exactly how we would design it. Cannot fault the Crest in its attention to detail. Oh...almost forgot ...there was also a washing machine..dryer...plus washing powder..so you didn't have to go down to Woolworths and buy washing up liquid, sponges, dish cloths etc. Perfect!

Cons:

Cannot think of a single negative!

A perfect gateway in the middle of Byron!
Pros:

The location was excellent, I could walk to all bars, restaurants, stores, solar train station, so on. The balcony was my favourite spot, I could work from there with a beautiful view of palm trees and the pool. Such a comfortable space, all appliances were available. I definitely recommend and I am booking again soon… The host was so flexible, helpful and supportive! I loved my time here :)

Cons:

Actually I do not have complains or any suggestions. Everything was just perfect :)

Overall, a great stay in a beautiful part of the world. We’d definitely love to come back for a longer visit next time!
Pros:

We recently stayed overnight at The Crest Apartments in Byron Bay and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The two-bedroom apartment was clean, comfortable, and perfectly suited for our little family.

Cons:

Our only disappointment was the timing with a late check-in and early check-out, our kids were pretty sad they didn’t get the chance to use the heated pool, which looked very inviting! A slightly later check-out would’ve made all the difference.
