Seafield Tower History Circa 1876

By the mid-1880s, the sand dunes of Glenelg's esplanade had long given way to the summer residences of the prominent and wealthy of South Australia. Previously known as Albert Parade, and then Seawall, South Esplanade was once a promenade of magnificent Victorian mansions and summer gardens. With time, these mansions slowly began to occupy land beyond the dunes morphing Glenelg's streets into a suburb of character and charm.

State Heritage-listed Seafield Tower was the first of its kind built along the esplanade. It was designed as two self-contained, 15 room summer residences for Sir Henry Ayers and Sir Thomas Elder, when both were in their late fifties. Ayers made his fortune from the Burra Copper Mines that secured the wealth and future of the colony of South Australia. Uluru - Ayers Rock in the Northern Territory is named in his honor. Elder was a pastoralist, businessman, philanthropist and politician. Ayers inhabited the northern side and Elder the southern. Each residence had a separate staircase to the tower, but the landing was communal.

Adelaide's Popular Seaside Location - Glenelg Beach

Bayside Glenelg draws families to its long, sandy beach and the Beach house amusement Center, with waterslides, rides and arcade games. The Bay Discovery Centre in the 1870s Town Hall has local history exhibits including a vintage swimwear collection, and dolphin-spotting cruises cast off from nearby Holdfast Marina. Laid-back pubs, organic cafes, global eateries and indie boutiques give the area a trendy vibe.

Convenient location by Glenelg beach

Basic property with no frills. Tired and in need of renovation. Peeling paint in the bathroom. Front door to the esplanade hard to open. Chairs and sofa saggy. Have already submitted a more detailed review to Unwind holidays which presumably you have seen and one of the frustrations with this booking has been the number of agents involved - VBRO, Stays?Unwind, a ‘host who we didn’t see

Can't beat the location but very Unclean, Shame

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Can't beat the location. I had paid for 2 adults and 2 children. We were given two bedrooms, even thoght the ad read 'sleeps 6'.However there are some obvious issues with the property. There is no air circulation – the windows themselves don't seem to open - and several evenings were stiflingly hot. The window sills themselves I had to wipe clean and were littered with old screws and hinges. Unsightly and a choking hazard. For this reason, we had to move the cot in to the main/living area. Which meant while baby slept, that area was out-of-bounds during the day, and at night, TV had to be on very quietly. Not ideal since it is the designated living/dining area.Speaking of air-circulation, the other bedroom with the bunk bed in it also had no windows and no fan. It was uncomfortable overnight.The place was very unclean. The only window in the living/kitchen/dining space to allow the ocean breeze in was filthy. It was so dirty my toddler who stood up holding the window sill was covered in dust and dirt.The lino in the kitchen space was also dirty and spotted with stains from previous guests. Outside, perhaps even some simple fake roll-out lawn to cover the open dirt place (which was still littered with builders nails, screws etc) would have made the place 10 times more appealing and enjoyable to be at.

A great stay

This property is in a fantastic location in Glenelg, right on the beach and in the heart of the town. Loads of space for family of 4. Well equipped kitchen. Great WiFi and Netflix available on the TV. A few strange noises from adjoining property in middle of night and beds not that comfortable but ok for a short stay. Good communication with host to resolve an issue.
