Guest Reviews

Every review below was left by a genuine guest. We don't curate or edit – these are the words people choose when they get home.

“The staff were amazing – they held our bags when we arrived before check-in. Local to cafes, two minutes to the beach. The two-bedroom was spacious with 2 bathrooms, kitchen, lounge and balcony. Will stay again for sure.”

Stephanie B.

“A very comfortable stay. Clean and well-maintained, it felt like a home away from home. The staff were fantastic, friendly, professional and always willing to help. They made the whole experience easy and stress-free.”

Kenneth F.

“A wonderful place with amazing apartments. We were in an executive apartment, beautifully renovated and clean. The lady at the front desk even came to our unit to show the grandkids how to work the Netflix remote.”

Jenny S.

“Could not recommend this more. The rooms are clean and large, the amenities are beautiful and well looked after. Shops and cafes are a short walk, as are the beach and the tram. We'll absolutely stay here next time.”

Jenna-Lee W.

“Crest was a really great find. We could walk to Australia Fair, the beach and many cafes and restaurants in Main Beach. Exceptionally clean and well-managed, yet extremely friendly and welcoming. We will be back.”

Belinda L.

“Our apartment was spacious and clean with a view inland and of the ocean. Good shower pressure, a big bedroom, a huge mirrored wardrobe. Gym, pool, parking, our own laundry, and the beach only minutes away.”

Tahleigh E.

“First time at The Crest and I will definitely be booking again. The host was amazing from the minute I arrived. Location is perfect, with the bus service and tram practically at the door. Everything you need is there.”

“A wonderful staycation with friends from interstate. The apartment was lovely and super clean, the facilities were great, and we were so close to the Tedder Avenue strip and yacht club. Host Laura was fantastic, top spot.”

Leo H.

“We've stayed here a few times and always enjoyed it. The staff are lovely and always remember you – our last visit was in 2019 and they remembered how much my daughter loved their dog. We can't wait to come back.”

Tania P.

“We stayed at The Crest for five weeks – what a spot. One block from the beach and one block from the restaurants. The staff were super helpful and we will definitely return when next on the Gold Coast. Close to everything.”

Ian C.

“I stayed here with four friends for the Gold Coast Marathon. Situated away from the busy areas, good for families, walking distance to cafes and beaches. The indoor pool and sauna were a treat after the race.”
