Good accommodation, great location.

Balcony over looking the water was excellent

The Esplanade was a wonderful place to stay at Bateman’s Bay. It was in an ideal location on the bay with a boardwalk behind the hotel that was lined with stores and restaurants. Close by within 3 blocks was a shopping mall with everything that you could need while you are visiting. The room was generous in size and had a nice bathroom with a walk in shower. Everything was clean. The bed was very comfortable. We had a very nice East Indian meal for dinner just a block away and in the morning we had a lovely breakfast along the boardwalk. They even let us use their laundry facilities before we checked out! They went above and beyond our expectations.

Very comfortable; great views

Very nice property,easy access to everything,but we did encountered a blackout one night,but didn't cause any hassles.

Very clean, great views and location, and extremely friendly staff!

Lovely and clean, very inviting on arrival lights on in the room nice setting

The staff are very helpful and friendly, the rooms are a good size and well designed with plenty of room for 2 guests. We had a view of the water which was vwry pleasant. The bathrooms are very clean and well designed. It is easy walking distance to a number of restaurants and shops and easy walking to The Bay Pavillions entertainment centre.

It was good

Great location. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will stay here again.

The best part was sleeping to the sound of waves splashing against the rocks. Nice view (ocean view room). Close to eateries and pubs. Access to club across the road. Parking could be cumbersome as there are limited spots.

One night stay

An overnight stay on our way to Canberra. Great location. Splendid property. Friendly welcoming receptionist.

Forgot our breakfast 😞

Large room, quiet, lanai overlooking promenade. Small parking lot beneath hotel somewhat difficult but otherwise very good

We got a room facing the river and the view is amazing! The room is spacious and clean. Bed is comfortable. The Soldiers Club is just opposite the road and it's a good choice for dinner. Short drives to maccas and KFC. The only reason why I am not giving 5 stars is because I think the receptionist (who I think only work on week days) could have done better in making her guests feel welcome. She can start doing this simply by smiling 😃.

Staff were helpful with a last minute booking and after hours key pickup. Private parking was a bonus

The Esplanade's location was excellent to walk along the river to town. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay at the Esplanade. Thank you

Above Average Value for Money Hotel.

This is above average value for money accommodation close to the harbour and shops.

Great stay!

Great stay! Awesome amenities! Very spacious room! Awesome view!

Great motel

Beautiful location. Amazing view from river side room. Amazi g to wake to rhw sunrising over the ocean. Well appointed rooms. Unfortunately very thin walls. And the shower grate was pretty gross, lots of old hair caught in it.

Clean and Comfortable

Just a nice clean and comfortable stay. Wake up in the morning to an amazing view with the sun shining glistening water and pelicans. Staff at reception friendly and considerate. I’ll be back. And a good eggs Benny in the restaurant for breakfast.

Location to all amenities was great, room was large.

All very good. Only wish I had booked a sea view room

Close to the water

Great room

The room was newly renovated, clean, spacious, and a great view.

I have driven past the Esplanade since it was built in the 80's (?) and was not prepared for the layout - with the massive, domed communal lounge area on our floor. Our room (1.02) was spotless and had been tastefully renovated / updated recently. If I was to make any comment, I felt the thickness of the toilet paper was thin, and strangely, the large coffee cups didn't fit properly on their saucers. If I was to make a suggestion, a couple of complimentary bottles of water in the fridge would have been a nice touch. All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the overnight stay and would recommend it to others.

Great place, amazing view.

Great place to stay. Beautiful view, nice restaurants downstairs and around.

Great location

Great location, value for money and great people that work there. There internet very weak.

Water facing rooms are fantastic! Property updated recently and a great option for a stay in the Bay. The promenade right in front is a lovely walk day or night.

Quality accommodation for a reasonable price in an excellent location.

Lovely Hotel bit disappointing on Cleanliness Had ants in the room on the table, Window tracks very dusty, outside the bar fridge dirty and the bin very dusty. We did mention to the staff about the bin and fridge and it was cleaned the next day.

Convenient

Road trip

Overnight stay on a road trip. Noise from road was quite loud.

Wonderful stay in a comfortable and quiet room. The light on the balcony and USB ports weren’t working but would definitely be staying here again.

our stay was great, excellent modern room , great bed, great shower, , handy parking , fantastic steak restaurant. All round a very enjoyable facility with great harbor views Would easily stay there again

Beautiful view with balcony overlooking the water. Easy parking.

Nothing to dislike, everything was fine.

Always such a beautiful stay at the Esplanade. Would recommend upgrading the TV’s but besides that everything is incredible!

Friendly staff and great location Would stay there again

Location is the best and clean friendly Yes would return again

The road noise for rooms on the roadside is significant, even though I was told they were quiet. Would recommend requesting a room away from the road. Other than that, no complaints.

Very tranquil place for a short place. The view was amazing. There was nothing we didn’t like.

Excellent location right on the waterfront, marina and minutes to shops and dining. Property has been beautifully renovated with lovely room and functional bathroom with rain showerhead.

Just a nice stay

Great

We had a river view and it was perfect. The Esplanade is in a great spot and is a lovely place to stay. We went there for our anniversary and absolutely loved it

Very comfortable. Perfect position

Great until you want breakfast

2 night stay was great, every thing you need until you meet the manager of the attached cafe. Rude and arrogant to say the least. If all the hotel literature states breakfast till 9am then the kitchen should be serving until 9am. Not shutting everything down and refusing table service at 8:45!

Great place to stay. Will definitely be back

Good location on the waterfront. Attentive staff, we had an issue with the air con and they came very quickly to fix it.

I did not like the location of my room Too noisy View was great

Very clean room

We will return!

We booked two Water-view Rooms and were not disappointed. Easy access via a lift to our level, as it was a weekend away for our mums Mother’s Day gift and she cannot use stairs. The rooms were excellent, clean and with an amazing water view. Easy access to Soldiers Club and shops. We had breakfast at the Ebb & Flow and the service and food was great. We will return!

The Esplanade is in a great location, walkable to the marina, shopping and eating. Rooms are fresh and clean with a generous sized bathroom. Always enjoy our stay.

Esplanade

Always the place to stay in the bay

Big rooms and convenient location

Very nice hotel for a 1 night stay. Parking on site and large rooms with balcony. Arrival service from front desk was average. Complimentary water, tea, coffee and biscuits in room. I would stay again if in Bateman's Bay as it was conveniently located on the waterfront.

Great views from the property. Fantastic balcony. Close proximity to the club which was a good meal.

Clean, beautiful outlook friendly staff

Great view and location

Nice Place to Stay

Pleasant, comfortable and good value.

The king suite was very spacious, with new bathroom with a shower and a separate bath. The toilet was also separate to the bathroom. The roo had a separate living area with sofa and small dining table and 2 balconies overlooking the bay. The room was very clean, the only thing I would say is perhaps a ceiling fan would be nice for night when it is a bit cold to have the aircon on but to circulate the air. The hotel is located on the boardwalk so a great location for walking around the bay.

Great position, lovely appointed room and bathroom. Comfy bed .

I absolutely loved our stay at the esplanade, it was a lovely clean room with a breathtaking view and excellent location. The check in process was seamless, highly recommend staying here!

Great area and destination. The property was conveniently located for our family function.

Just pleasant. Nothing really special.

Location was perfect

Wonderful room with balcony overlooking the beautiful Clyde River. Helpful and friendly reception staff.

Key entry everywhere

Jamie was very pleasant at Reception. Room was as expected.

Excellent and loved to balcony sea view, like the 60s decor friendly concierge Thank you 😊

The room was spacious and the hotel had an inside atrium which made it feel luxurious. We had an awesome time watching the Clyde river and the weather role in.

I would highly recommend the Esplanade - lovely rooms and we had a great view of the Bay. Great spot to day trip around the south coast. We will definitely be back.

Just a lovely stay

Excellent couldnt fault highly recommend

Highly recommended, Friendly, helpful staff.

Convenient location Ease of access Clean and Tidy - Room was spacious Management staff a bit Blaze'' Soldiers Club staff across the road were so pleasant to deal with and Food at the Soldiers club was quite good

The decor of the room was lovely and tranquil. The view of the water was beautiful. The restaurant meals were delicious and well presented. We would have loved to have stayed longer. Only minor complaint - the towels were a bit small - not even really bath towel size. We would definitely recommend it.

The best around.

This property is always better than most. I always stay here if I am in the area,

Clean room with new fittings.

Would recommend

A really pleasant experience

A really lovely hotel with excellent rooms. Spotlessly clean and well appointed. Excellent bathroom. My only criticisim is the room I had was on the road side of the building and it was quite noisy. Rooms on the water side would be much better.

amazing location

amazing location- walking distance to town, room was great, modern and new, watched the sunrise over the bay from the balcony. definitely would book again and highly recommend

We had a great stay 😊

Well placed location, near to shopping, dining and other options, friendly staff. Property felt a little dated however clean and comfortable.

We had a great view overlooking the ocean

Property is in the best location and is value for money. Amazing views that are second to none. Great brekkie downstairs as well. Got it all and hope to be back soon.

Excellent room , location & view Eat across the road NIT at the on site restaurant which is seriously below par

Weekender

This is my second stay & won’t be my last Just a great place to stay & location 😎

Clean and spacious room with a new view. Really enjoyed my stay here.

Beautiful outlook

Friendly staff and very clean room

The staff were friendly the view amazing

Clean comfort with nice extra touches.

As usual, the reception was quick and efficient, parking the car - a breeze and the room ready for us to relax. Clean comfort with nice extra touches.

The reception was fantastic and staff friendly welcome. The room was fantastic clean, i would therefore rate the hotel 5 Star.

Would recommend to any body.

The location

The only tricky thing is wotIF took all my payment details but didn't actually pay The Esplanade, so after booking and paying and then driving 3 hrs to the Esplanade, to find out what I thought had been paid (as confirmed by wotif) i had to pay at the Esplanade

This was a wonderful property - fabulous room. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Very convenient for shopping and the club. Very nice staff. Very clean. Food was excellent.
