Bayview Beachfront Apartments, in Town Right on the Beach

徒歩でビーチに行ける立地最高

First, the list of rules are ridiculous. There are fines for leaving the furniture in another place than the original position. Not kidding. If I had known about the stupid rules, I wouldn't have booked. In my opinion its an automatic fail when you have to lug your suitcase 5 flights of stairs with no porters, lifts or advance warning. If I had known that, I wouldn't have booked. For an apartment, I wanted a door to the bedroom, that was the whole point of me wanting an apartment. An open plan is called a studio, not an apartment. Fail number 4 - the washing machine is in the kitchen, it is even louder than the loudest dishwasher in existence. You have to leave the apartment to escape the noise. Its is a good location, the parking is a little bit of a mission to find. Fail number 5- there is no view of the bay, despite its name. You look into other peoples apartments.... yuck yuck yuck. I haven't a clue why anyone would want to stay here, after warnings like mine. Read the reviews, I am not the only one!!!!

Where to begin with this place? If you're considering staying here, think twice. The only positive thing about it is the location. Apart from that, it's a bit of a letdown. Before we arrived, they bombarded us with multiple lengthy emails detailing a list of rules and hefty fines for any transgressions. Forget your key? That'll be at least $150 to sort out. The rules and fines were excessive and gave off a rather unwelcoming vibe. But, they conveniently forgot to mention the ongoing construction next door, which started up bright and early every morning. The WiFi was abysmal - I've had faster speeds on dial-up. And don't expect any small conveniences like shampoo or paper towels; it's strictly BYO everything except toilet paper even though it is advertised as an Aparthotel. For a five-night stay, we found ourselves rationing supplies like sugar and dishwashing tablets (only provided for the first couple of days). Our courtyard was the main walkway to the pool and constantly busy with people passing through, making privacy a luxury. On top of all this, the night before check-out, we received an email listing all sorts of fines - some as ridiculous as checking out 15 minutes late, and subsequent fines for every additional 15 minutes; fines for not stacking the dishwasher, and fines for not starting it. It felt unnecessarily strict and left a sour taste in our mouths. Overall, save your money. There are much friendlier and better-maintained apartments in Byron Bay for the price they're asking here. Unless you enjoy being micromanaged by rules, dealing with patchy WiFi, and feeling like an inconvenience, steer clear of this place.

We stayed in late June for ten nights in a two bedroom standard apartment on the top floor; two adults and two primary school aged children. The apartment was fairly large, clean and well equipped. There was very little discernible noise from adjacent apartments The apartments are in an extremely convenient location - right in town and a walk across the road from the beach; we only used our car for trips out of town The facilities at the apartments were great - pool was a great fun and heated during winter! We were also able to book our whale watching at reception, which was super convenient Would definitely stay again

Overall our stay was great. A very warm and friendly welcome at reception, off street secure car parking a bonus, pool area is clean and well maintained as well as the common areas. Apartment 20 was top level with a large balcony. Those who carry a lot of luggage may struggle with stairs however we were fine as we travel fairly light. We had a neighbour who was smoking on his balcony so the smoke did travel up into our bedrooms which wasn’t the best but unavoidable. Maybe a consideration in the future. Thank you

We stayed in this property 3 years ago and had a very positive experience. This time it has been the opposite. The one bedroom units are like dungeons - no windows at all in the kitchen dining area and a door only to a very small deck in the living area. The bedroom has a small deck that overlooks an alley with large garbage bins. The unit is poorly appointed and stocked. Two towels, two dishwasher soap tablets, no washing machine soap and when we asked for replenishments we were refused!!! No beach gear or towels. - can rent towels. Unbelievable given the prices charged to stay here. Very unhelpful staff bordering on rude. Do yourself a favour and avoid the disappointment.

Overall the stay was quite delightful. These apartments are right across the road from the beach so you can easily make time to watch both the sunset and sunrise each day if you want. Parking is secure and the apartments are very close for shopping and dining, only a few minutes walk. The apartments are individually privately owned so the prices are not solid, each owner charges their own rate so it can be confusing as to how much the bill might end up being after securing your booking - be careful for that!! The reception manager was rarely available and when he was there he was rather curt and rude I thought, but otherwise a nice place to stay. I did notice when we were departing after our stay that there was a lot of dust under the beds, which made me think that the servicing of the suites might be up to the last guests, we were advised to remove all rubbish from the room after our stay and to ensure the apartment was tidy with the dishes packed into the dishwasher and to switch it on upon departure. In which case, take some spare dishwasher tablets, only 2 are supplied for a 4 night stay and with only 2 supplied rolls of toilet paper, you had better BYO on that too.

Loved the location and the assistance from the staff was excellent highly recommended and value for money the pool area was spotless and the bbq facility second to none top shelf quality ample parking too back soon
