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.

Staying in Glenelg at a historic property
I think the property needs to be accurately described there were no windows that opened at all The unit was extremely dingy I was very concerned to read the letting agreement which was sent after I had already paid a deposit In retrospect I would not have proceded had I had this information. I am very concerned about the return of my bond. My husband and I are in our seventies and have never felt quite as uncomfortable as we now do. It seems to me the return of the bond is purely subjective We were not provided with any cleaning implements I had to buy products to clean the place. There were many marks on the carpet that I photographed as I am worried I will be accused of making these marks So I would never recommend the property

Disliked: Cleanliness
Nothing good about this vacation,
2 doors inside our apartment which were locked , Circuit box inside our door which we didn't know about , Had folk knocking on our door at 21,30 hours regarding an issue with the electrical supply. The sheets on the bed were creased and not ironed , Carpets were stained . Not enough lighting so the place was dark and depressing. Definitely not a welcoming place to stay, Would not return
