Esplanade Apartments

The accommodation impresses with its cleanliness, modern amenities, and helpful staff. Guests enjoy comfortable rooms and convenient location near various attractions. However, some may find it a bit pricey.

8 Esplanade is one of the few apartment blocks in town. Extremely good value. Three bedroom apartment with access to pool and spa. Two bathrooms and two dining spots. I would recommend this place. I have some advice if you do book make sure you pay in advance this way you are going to have as little to do with the management of the place as possible. This way you can avoid any mutual judgements. I could have easily paid on my Australian account online. 50% had already been two Weeks earlier from the booking site. $750. Had already been paid. Technically 1 and half days had already been paid and 1 and a half had not been paid. Technically they could or should have have given us the key so we could go and pay the rest online as the actual card wasn't working. Computer says No. Computer says No with a smiling face dripping with insincerity. It would have been so easy to take our credit card details and pay the rest that way. It is great place and we would have certainly come back because they have board games, thoughtful DVDs, lots of information and even spades for hot water beach. And great access to streaming services. However the lack of practical wisdom, discretion or imagination to take my credit details to pay the remainder of the stay was extraordinary. I paid it via eftpos. We just would have preferred to have that money for meals and treats and stuff. It just left a very bad test in our mouths one that felt that these people didn’t trust us at all. Consequently I didn’t feel very relaxed. Just make sure you pay it all first or have plenty of card access to credit. I agree with other reviews that the apartments are excellent but we will most certainly not be coming back.

Had a great stay at The Esplanade. For our group of 12 travelling golfers the rooms worked really well. Everything was spotless and amenities were all there! The pool and spa were terrific after golf rounds. Terry and Deborah were super helpful with the bookings we changed around and very friendly. The place is ideally located across the road from the sea and wharf / ferry and on the doorstep of restaurants and cafes. Terry was really helpful in sending on some forgotten items by the lads. The Wifi was a bit patchy but otherwise it was a great place to stay and will look to re-book again in the future. ANDY
