“WHITE CREST LUXURY SELF-CONTAINED APARTMENTS”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 13, 2012

Last weekend my wife, daughtrer and I stayed at the WhiteCrest Luxury Apartments in Hervey Bay (HB). It's deservedly rated as 4.5 stars. Absolutely superb place to stay.

HB is on the Frazer Coast, about 30km east from Maryborough. HB is the gateway to Frazer Island which is the largest sand island in the world and supplies the beautiful sands to Hawaii's Waikiki beach. Frazer Island is a must to see, even if you've only one day. Just do a bus tour. It's also four wheel drive heaven so if you get the chance to take a 4WD to the island, you'll have a fantastic time.

The first thing we noticed on arrival was the spotlessy clean condition of the whole property. We hoped the rest of the resort was the same and we were not disappointed. The room and everywhere was spotless, clean, fresh and appealing.

We were greeted by the smiling Host/Manager, Rob Cheek. Rob is a real gentleman who was very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble and he made us feel important from the get go. Rob went out of his way to may our entire stay very enjoyable, relaxing and memorable.

WhiteCrest has one, two or three bedroom self-contained, luxurious apartments which are superbly comfortable. All apartments are beautifully appointed, have extremely comfortable and clean beds and have full modern kitchen and dining facilities. The Apartments are close to shops, restaurants and the sailing and kayaking hut. Just around the corner is a superb Thai Restaurant or the best Fish & Chips take-away in town.

WhiteCrest is right across the road from the beach if you like a walk along a beautiful beach. You can also go for a swim. The water temrparature in the bay was only 26 degrees Celcius. But we tolerated that nonetheless..ha ha.... Travellers should note that at this time of the year there are usually no stingers (jellyfishj, blue bottles etc) in the water but check with Rob before you swim in the Bay. Good news is that you can swim all year round in Whitecrest's own sparkling swimming pool. The resort also has a small snooker table and games in the games room.

WhiteCrest provides basement, undercover secured parking with a lift directly to your floor

On Sundays, there is a beachfront market just 200 metres easy flat walk.

Rob can also organise tours to Frazer Island at the same rate as a direct booking with a tour operator in Hervey Bay or Maryborough. He also has bicycles for hire or you can hire a small catamaran and go sailing.

All in all, Whitecrest is a fabulous place to stay, nice and central and lives up to its name of luxury apartments. Top marks.

“Not worth the price - Stay away”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

I recently booked three nights at this establishment. I travelled with two young children. The room was expensive for what was offered, but given the excellent location was prepared to give it a go. I payed and stayed in a two bedroom, water viewed room on the top floor. The room showed signs of extensive use. The walls were dirty and marked (to be expected for a rental unit) however these were dirty more than normal. The cleaning standards were poor. After bathing the children, they had black feet within half an hour of walking on the tiles in the unit. The air conditioner units showed dirty/mouldy marks on the edge of, and inside the actual air vent of the unit and I was not inclined to use them. The crockery supplies were low and some of the cutlery was dented. The dishwasher drawers were rusting.

The staff were friendly and the location was great, however these were the only two positives I could mention. I would not recommend this hotel. My advice is to find another place to stay.

“Beautiful apartment and brilliant host”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 11, 2012

My friends and I spent a few days in hervey bay at the whitehaven apartments. The apartment was immaculate, large and comfortable, and had a great view. The location is perfect as the beach is across the roads and there are lots of shops and restaurants nearby and the apartments have a swimming pool, floodlit tennis courts, a games room and secure parking.
All that is great but the best thing about these apartments is the service. We were made to feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. We arrived in hervey bay with lots of hopes but nothing organised on a busy holiday weekend but to Rob this was not a problem. That night when we arrived Rob phoned round and got us booked a perfect trip the next day then the next night he managed the same again.
These outings and Robs amazing hospitality made our trip an amazing experience. We will definitely be staying at white crest again
Thanks Rob!

“Holiday sojourn”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 3, 2012

Found White Crest Apartments on Tripadvisor and did not disappoint. Apartment was much larger than average. Position is very good being right on the esplanade and close to shops and restaurants. Robert the manager is very pleasant and efficient at organizing whatever you want to do during your stay in Hervey Bay. Highly recommend.

“Good place to stay in Hervey Bay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 29, 2012 via mobile

As a family with older children we found White Crest a good place to stay. As the kids were kept busy. Playing tennis which was free if you had your own tennis rackets and balls, swimming in the solar heated pool there was also enough for them to do in Hervey bay. Fishing (though not much was caught). The beach is right across the road and is quite shallow great for little kids. The waves were tiny again great for little kids not so great for bigger kids mine found the beach a bit boring.
It is a good walk along the beach to the long pier make sure you have a coffee and a muffin at Peppers to sustain you for your walk back.

It was a good trip to Fraser Island and a must to do while you are here. Make sure you go on a sunny day so Lake Macenzie is the bright blue as in the photos. The tour guide we had was Jon and he was very good. It's amazing how he could drive on the tracks there. I would not try it my self.

We had a room facing the tennis court which was quiet though it didn't get the sun until late afternoon.
The room had all the facilities required washer, dryer, microwave all the bits in the kitchen.
But what the kids thought best was there was three TVS in the unit. A large flat screen in the lounge with a dvd player and then smaller ones in the bedrooms. The one in the kids bedroom even had a DVD player in it. There was also a cd player.

Though not needed at this time of the year there was a split system air conditioner. With separate controls for each room.

We found the Room to be clean and serviceable.
Like wise the complex was clean and well looked after.
The manager Rob was very helpful with bookings and tour arrangements.
Thanks Rob for helping to make our stay comfortable.
