Main Beach Apartments

Fantastic location, right by the beach. Sadly disappointing inside. The size of the apartment was superb but it really needs an upgrade. The bathroom in particular smelled of years of urine and drains. It was clean but carpets were old and a little grubby. Curtains were hanging off the rail.

From the outside the building is terribly run down. My husband and I were very concerned about what we would find inside, to our surprise the unit we stayed in was clean and spacious, the beds were comfortable and the location was brilliant. However, in the main bedroom, neither bed side lamp worked, the blind in the second bedroom was broken, one of the screen doors wouldn’t lock and the carpet felt wet and sticky in some spots. Service wise, Stuart the maintenance guy was extremely helpful, without talking to him we wouldn’t have know we needed to go around the corner to Waves to check in, this was not communicated to us prior to our arrival and the printed sign stuck to a pillar with this info was too discreet. The first lady at reception we spoke to was actually unfriendly and rude when we went to ask her about leaving our car in the parking space prior to check in, even though Stuart had indicated there was plenty of room as previous guests had already checked out that morning. To our disappointment after letting her know this she just was still rude and unwelcoming. The second lady we spoke to at 2pm when we came back to collect the keys was very lovely and helpful.

Don't bother. Run, don't walk. Run down is an understatement. Only decent thing was clean linen on the beds. The stove not working properly, lounges smell and dirty, carpet filthy. Locks are a bit dicky Pictures online are not reality. Ready for a bulldozer!!!! :( :( :( 3 sad faces

I will admit the complex was very scary looking on the outside but once inside was much better , great location right on the beach.

Walking distance to the beach, shops & restaurants

Best front desk staff, flexible. I had a last min panic as I forgot to book two spots (used to solo travel) the team said no problem - park at other tenants spot til they arrive tmrw. I’ll come back here for another stay. In addition to east parking, the property also was upgraded to fit us - no mention of this, just turned up to a bigger place with two rooms. Wonderful place and front desk. Highly recommend.

Main Beach are 70’s style older apartments that are kept clean, neat and very presentable. All functional items are available with fresh clean linen, towels and kitchenware. Outlook to Byron Main beach outweighs everything and you are literally in the beach. Very comfortable stay.

Stayed for two nights and it was satisfactory because of the location with park and sea views. Parking underneath is tight. NO WIFI is unusual. The bathroom/toilet area needs a complete rework, but I suspect that the owners will demolish the whole building and put up something completely new. Staff are not onsite, but were helpful.

Had no hot water in our apartment. Very disappointing.
