This is my favourite place to stay in Torquay have been staying here for 5 years each summer. The location is amazing, the property is beautiful, there is instant access to wonderful places to go to, visit and eat at surrounding the property and the view is gorgeous. The host and agency are wonderfully helpful and respond in a very quick and timely manner and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I love coming during the holiday period.

Thanks for the 5 Star review Brendan.
You Cant get much closer to the beach than Esplanade Elegance, whether watching the sunrise or walking across the road for a dip. Definatly helps being next door to Doc Hughes restaurant and a short stroll the main street of torquay.

Perfect location
Excellent location, stay could be better with air conditioning as the fan/portable evaporative cooler not effective
Super house with great appliances and thoughtful provisions left. Good location and easy walk to station. Great cafe for brunch. Really enjoyed our stay and nice deck for sitting out plus bbq. We would come back for sure.
Thanks.
Excellent location with great views.
Disappointed it didn’t have an air conditioner, just an air cooler as it was hot when we stayed.
Also it would have been great to have ceiling fans in living area and bedrooms
Other than that we really enjoyed our stay at this property
Nice sized unit, with great views.
Unusual instructions on the bunk, saying the top bunk wasn't to be used. It didn't matter for us as we pulled the mattress off and slept in the lounge, but others might find this inconvenient if travelling with two adults and two kids.

Hi Mark,
Thank you for your feedback, I addressed this with the owner prior to your stay and advised it would be a better option to include the bunk bed to make the property more appealing to small families.
The labels have since been removed and ladder reinstalled.
Thank you again and hopefully we can welcome you back to our property in the futute.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness
not up to par
Firstly great location! But didn't live up to expectations for price. The flyscreen in the bathroom, which was directly over the sink and in your face, was chocked full of dust. The carpet in both bedrooms were heavily stained, like a spotted quoll. The master bedroom door would hit the bedframe making it awkward going around the bed due to size of room. The knifes and utensils in seconded draw where poorly cleaned, there were numerous stains and food bits on most knifes. No toilet paper but some was delivered after a discussion with the agent. Cheap knifes, when I was cutting some cheese the knife handle broke, may seem petty but just another reason it didn't live up to my expectations.

Great location, across the road from the beach, beautiful beachfront view, close to a variety of cafes/restaurants, shop’s & supermarket. Generally the apartment was comfortable. Kitchen/lounge was great and equipped with everything we needed. Re bedrooms mattresses were reasonably comfortable but curtains were thin keeping no light or heat out...need replacing. We enjoyed our stay very much, the highlight was the location! The Real Estate agents were great and made it all very easy... Communication was friendly, professional and most efficient. Thank you!

Reviewer Comments:
We had a wonderful stay, location is fantastic with an amazing ocean view from the large balcony. An abundance of restaurants and cafes all within walking distance.
Some of the facilities were a bit dated but honestly we were out most of the time so it didn't matter. A great location for the beach, walking tracks and places to eat. Loved it
Beautiful location, average property for the price
I booked the property for its location on the waterfront which was perfect. Unfortunately I can't say the property was perfect.
On arrival there was a damp smell in the toilet and bathroom requiring the toilet and bathroom window to remain open throughout our stay and the bath mat certainly needs replacing.
Being the middle of winter, the heater was not sufficient to warm the property and the doonas were certainly not warm enough for the winter months.
An average property for the price in need of a makeover.
That said, the weather was beautiful and we spent most of the weekend exploring the area, it would have been disappointing if we would have had to stay indoors.
