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.

Great location. Shocking property

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat 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: Had to call the police as someone was taking drugs outside the window that doesn't lock and can be easily opened (kids sleeping in that room). Attempted to contact manager to get fixed, but no answer or reply (left message - still no reply).Rusty reo bar and broken glass in the front yard looking over the ocean - kids almost needed tetanus shot.Cheap uncomfortable beds and furnitureAll windows extremely dirty - anyone would think it was a 24/7 dust storm outside.

Great location

Very tidy and clean accomodation which suited our family. The location right on the promonade was the highlight; close to Jetty Road, walking path, beach, and ideal car parking for busy Glenelg. Bedside tables with lamps would be advisable, as we missed having these.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very very nice property, and location excellent. However some maintenance (maybe fortnightly) could be done on the outside front area....lots of dead pine needles and a few weeds growing. Perhaps some lawn and potted plants instead of pavers could enhance this property as lots of passers by like to have a look !! Just some suggestions.

Enjoyable

We initially found it a little difficult to find the address, No 7 not clearly marked, beautiful view from the front room was obscured by a very salty/dirty window, after we cleaned that it was fine, the front outdoor area was messy from falling tree debris and weeds were present in the paving, apart from these minor flaws the property was impeccable, totally enjoyed our stay and will endeavour to go again

Good location

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat 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: Beds are old and hard. Need replacing or toppers. Some beds weren’t made properly. One coat hanger in each room. One garbage and one spare toilet role is insufficient for a 5 day stay.

Amazing location accurate to description

This property within an amazing location, super easy to find great parking and access. Really close and easy to get around everywhere in Adelaide. Definitely, the highlight was being able to walk out the front door and straight across to the beach looking out there on sunsets and swimming every morning. This made for an amazing holiday. Lots of bedding and space for our teenagers One minute walk to shops and lots of fantastic eateries Being able to use a kitchenette meant it made that holiday more affordable We would definitely come back Thank you so much

Long Weekend getaway

Location was amazing - perfect for a long weekend get away. Close to so much and short distance to other great attractions. Beautiful old building, that had everything we needed. Very small issues around maintenance that I am 100% sure the property managers will address and it will be perfect for the next people who stay there

Location is fabulous but lacks in amenities

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the second time I have stayed in this building and both times left me wanting on communication and experience. This unit is on the ground floor and is furnished in a very basic manner. There is absolutely NOTHING in the unit that would aid or assist a traveller's stay except for bed, pillows and linen (books, games, hair dryer, condiments, basic food staples to assist with cooking - salt, pepper, oil, sauce, coffee machine etc). It really wouldn't cost much to add some detail to make the accommodation welcoming and comfortable. Communication was poor - the back car park and access to the unit entrance was blocked off by a huge crane/cherry picker fixing the roof for the duration of the stay - no advice was provided, no provision made. I had my elderly parents with me, which made access very difficult and delayed us getting to a family funeral. I had to chase the welcome letter and information to access the lock box code as it was not provided. All in all, the location is excellent, but it has been a disappointingly cheap approach to converting what is a beautiful heritage building without the touches that make a stay positively memorable and comfortable.
