stayed at the esplanade 'by chance' on our way home from further down the coast. Wanted a room with balcony and view of the bay, and got exactly what we wanted. We spent the late afternoon with a good bottle of bubbles and a better view just relaxing and unwiding. Had dinner at the Soldiers club opposite, fantastic Thai food,... More

We had no booking but managed to get a room here just after New Year. Rooms are large, comfortable and well appointed, if a little dated. Very clean. Bay views from rooms with them are fantastic, very close to the water and right next to all the restaurants etc. Owned by Soldiers Club across the road. Tip: there is a... More

The hotel has seen better days. Rooms were clean but tired. Carpark was overrun by birds. Car covered in droppings after stay.

Price seemed hefty for quality but room was spacious, had jacuzzi and they... More

We have stayed here often over the last few years and always enjoyed our visits. The rooms, while getting old and the furnishings tired, bathroom tiles cracked but rooms are immaculately clean.

Located on Beach Rd and directly opposite the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club The Esplanade offers a great location with lovely views of the Clyde River with the convenience of local restaurants and the services of the Soldiers Club.

We have been regular visitors over a long period. We usually enjoy our visits and opt for a water view room as these have a lovely outlook over the bay and are worth the extra cost. This motel is one of the dearest in town, almost capital city prices. Now, the rooms themselves, while getting tired and worn are extremely... More
