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.

Also really happy to hear our team was helpful during your stay — we’re always here to make things as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

We enjoyed being next to the beach. The sunsets were gorgeous and so easy to take an evening swim in the ocean. It was also a nice surprise to find out we were easy walking distance to a street with lots of shops and restaurants. The apartment worked great for our group of four.

Overall a great place to stay.

Good, basic accommodation in a beautiful location. Overall, an enjoyable stay - however, a few things to note : Car parking needs to be made clearer for Units 5 & 6. There was confusion with guests in these 2 Units. Windows that open to let some sort of breeze into the place would be great. Basic cleaning tools - a broom, a mop and a vacuum should be provided - especially in a beachside environment.
