My husband and I stayed at Crest apartment for 6 nights during the ITU World Championships on the Gold Coast. I chose the area because I'd stayed there 10y before and it was handy to the race site and training areas. I'd stay here again - it was roomy (2 br), bright, clean, and had everything we needed, including secure underground parking, all kitchen needs, in-unit laundry facilities and a large sunny balcony facing northeast. The management staff were helpful, but make sure you know exactly what hours the front desk will be open as they are limited. It would have been helpful to have "how to use" instructions posted next to the gas range and maybe a note about the rubbish/recycling disposal posted clearly in the kitchen. We weren't made aware that there was a folder with instructions/information about the unit available to us and didn't see it till the last day. It was a short walk to Tedder Ave where there are a few restaurants, and shops; and a 3 minute drive to Australia Fair for groceries other shops. There are great running trails out to the spit of Main Beach, some paved, some packed dirt/sand. The rental fee was reasonable for the area and given the fact that it was 2 bedrooms. I'd recommend this place for one or 2 couples or a family of 4.
