“Good apartment but noisy common area”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

We stayed in a renovated apartment with our baby. The apartment itself was good. The kitchen was new, bathroom was fresh, modern furnishings, big tv, big comfy bed. Could not fault the apartment by itself.

The location was also good, down the road from the main strip and close to lots of amenities. The hotel also had underground parking for its guests.

The only downfall was that there was a communal pool in the middle of all of the apartments. Because of this (not the hotel's fault), there were lots of people (students I gather) who congregated on the picnic tables, doing their homework and walking between rooms. All the rooms had their doors open so it was a local hang out place right outside your room (very noisy and no privacy). It was quite awkward, especially when they kept going at night time and woke the baby up.

Unfortunately, due to the common area and the noise factor, we wouldn't stay here again.

Room Tip: As away from the pool as you can get

Scott Wanchap, Manager at Byron Central Apartments, responded to this review
12 February 2012
Dear Uptownnerd,
Thank you for the feedback. I can appreciate the frustration of having a baby who is woken by noisy guests. We have an onsite manager who is available 24/7 to deal with problems of this nature and have a zero tolerance for noise disturbances especially after hours. If we had of known of your discomfort we would have addressed the problem swiftly. The student exchange group that was here during your stay visit for a couple weeks a year which unfortunately fell during your stay. They are general very well nature and respectful but I can understand how they might of disturbed you. Please accept my sincere apologise for your discomfort during your stay.

“Ideal location and excellent staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We have just returned from a week's stay at these Apartments. The location is ideal as the beach and major bus stop are only a short walk away. The apartments themselves are very quiet and although the furnishings are basic, our bed was extremely comfortable. The apartment suited us fine.

We were very impressed with the Staff. On our day of departure the weather was atrocious: our flight was at 4.55 p.m. and pick-up time was 3 p.m. We had no car and being both in our late sixties we could not go anywhere. Scott, the Manager, very kindly let us stay in the apartment until we were picked up. On arrival in Ballina our flight was cancelled because of the weather. On ringing Scott he offered us our original apartment and advised that he would wait for us. We got to the Apartments after 8 p.m. and Scott was there with the keys. Not only that, but he even offered the flat to us for the night at no extra cost. This was a tremendous boost as we had had a long day and we could now at least get back to the comfortable bed. A real gentleman

“Basic but good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 January 2012

We stayed here for two nights in January so we could explore Byron Bay. We had a two bedroom apartment - downstairs was a sofa bed and upstairs had a double.

The apartment itself was pretty basic and was looking very dated and worn out. It wasn't the cleanest place and we had a bit of an ant problem in the bathroom.

Having said that the apartment served us well - the beds were comfy and the on site manager was quick to bring round some spray to sort out the ants.

The on site facilities are good - there is a pool and BBQ area.

Probably the best thing about the apartments is the location - they are just off the main drag in Byron and really close to the beach.

They are also great value for money as accomodation in Byron seems very expensive.

I would definitely recommend these apartments - I think they accurately reflected the 3 star rating of the place.

“Excellent choice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

We stayed here in a poolside, one-bed apartment, which looked to be recently decorated. The apartment had a small sitting area with plasma TV, and good sized, and well equipped kitchenette (no oven), while the pleasant and comfortable bedroom was on an upstairs mezzanine floor.
The location was perfect for us- just a short walk from the beach and the Main street, but just out of the bustle and noise. There was an excellent standard of cleanliness, and the manager was always be available for any queries. We very much enjoyed the pool, and lounge areas and made good use of the outdoor BBQ.
Overall, well done BCA- I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here!
As for Byron Bay, we absolutely loved it and didnt want to leave! Dont miss the walk to the Lighthouse - it is very scenic indeed. Lots of wildlife to see - we even saw turtles in the water!

“good location and reasonable price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

Byron Bay accommodation is expensive compared to other destinations on the coast. We booked this place for a weekend and were pleasantly surprised with the convenient location. A short walk to the beach and hub of Byron Bay yet away from the late night noise from bars, nightclubs etc. We stayed in a loft apartment and apart from the very small balcony area we were pleased with the cleanliness and facilities the apartment had to offer. Pool area is clean and the secure car park is very convenient. Park your car, leave it and walk to everything! We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others.
