Cannot speak highly enough of the service at the Seawall. Rachel and Jayne were so helpful and accommodating for our needs. We wanted a couple of days break on the beach front to get away from renovations that were happening around us. We stayed upstairs in #3 Olive Court, a 2 bedroom apartment with full kitchen, a sauna off the... More

I had to organise a venue for 14 people for a work meeting & overnight stay. From my first contact with Seawall I was totally impressed by the customer service provided & how accommodating Jayne & Rachael were in meeting our requests. The apartments were beautiful - well renovated, clean, comfy beds, spacious & well appointed. Our staff who attended... More

We stayed for 4 nights and loved the location and the view but on the negative side the room was small for what we paid and fellow guests are not kept under control in the evenings, so it does get noisy. The strangest thing was that daily servicing of the apartments was not the norm, I have never come across... More

After staying in Hahndorf we arrived at the Seawall Apartments Glenelg. I personally was disappointed with our old rooms, but the view out to sea was magnificent. The view, is what we paid for. I feel it was overpriced at $1100.00 for 2 bedrooms for 3 nights. The WiFi was non existant where we were. The bathroom needed a makeover.... More

The "'Boathouse"' was very spacious for 5 people. Apartment was clean, beds were comfty. Being right on beach was convenient for my frail mother. Location to shops and restaurants was fantastic!

I have stayed at Seawall apartments three times now and I just love them. The apartments are spacious, huge high ceilings, beautifully renovated with considerable thought for the era they originated from, and just remind me of seaside holidays as a kid!
