The Esplanade staff went above and beyond when my wife and I stayed with them over New Years.
We were only supposed to stay for one night but the NSW bushfires hit and we ended up staying for three.
The owners were extremely flexible, allowing us to extend our booking. Despite the power going out for a period of time, they offered a NYE dinner to guests when everything else in town was shut. A bacon and eggs cook up was also offered the next morning.
We felt very safe in what was difficult...

The room and property were so picturesque. It faced directly out to the water, so the breeze in the afternoon was relaxing and the sunset was just magical.
Allison was so great in guiding us with things to do, places to see and eat.
Hotel provides you with bikes to ride to places.

We were stopping by for one night on our way to Sydney. The apartment was huge: clean, everything we needed. The whole place was immaculate inside and out. The staff were welcoming - absolutely great, and incredibly good value. Breakfast was even included, a lovely surprise!

I loved the location and seclusion, it was the perfect weekend getaway. I can't recommend it highly enough for those that want to unwind and truly enjoy themselves in one of the most beautiful places Australia has to offer.

Don’t be deceived by the daggy entrance, nice motel, clean well appointed rooms, the water view rooms with balcony are definitely the ones to book! Walking distance to restaurants and shops which was great. The staff were friendly and very helpful! Would definitely stay here again!

Property has been totally renovated. Looks great and really modern. Place was spotlessly clean. Check in was via a txt message to my phone. Code sent to phone for room. No room key needed. Across the road from the bay. Within walking distance to shops and sports club. Would stay there again.

A nice place to stay, clean and good surroundings. Since, we went during moth plaque, one or two made it inside. Value for money and few walks to two beaches nearby. Saw few kangaroos in the surroundings. Parking is infront or on the sides of the building.

The best area to stay in Surf Beach is the beachfront promenade area, particularly around Surf Beach Road.
This area is the heart of Surf Beach, offering direct access to the main beach. The promenade is lined with a selection of cafes, restaurants, and boutique shops, making it very convenient for dining and a bit of retail therapy. You'll find many accommodations here, ranging from luxury apartments to comfortable hotels, often boasting excellent sea views.
For couples, staying along Surf Beach Road offers a romantic and relaxing experience. You can enjoy strolls along the beach at sunset, dine at restaurants with ocean vistas, and easily access activities like paddleboarding or surfing lessons right on your doorstep.
Families will also find this area ideal due to the immediate proximity to the beach. Children can easily access the sand and water, and the nearby cafes provide convenient options for snacks and meals.
When is the best time to go to Surf Beach?
The best time to go to Surf Beach is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for beach activities.
During this period, you can expect average daily temperatures ranging from 22°C to 27°C, with minimal rainfall. The ocean is also at its warmest, making it ideal for swimming, surfing, and other water sports. It's a popular time for families and couples looking to enjoy long days by the sea and make the most of the outdoor lifestyle.
If you prefer a slightly quieter experience with pleasant weather, the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) are also excellent choices. Temperatures are still comfortable, typically between 18°C and 24°C, and there are fewer crowds.
