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.
On Your Doorstep â Located directly on the Glenelg foreshore, you can step outside to enjoy the beach, coastal walking trails, and vibrant Jetty Road shopping and dining precinct, all within a short stroll.
Public Transport â Getting around Adelaide from Glenelg is a breeze. The iconic Glenelg Tram runs from Moseley Square straight into Adelaideâs city centre in about 25 minutes, making it a hassle-free option for sightseeing, shopping, or attending events. Local bus services also operate frequently throughout the suburb and nearby coastal areas.
Driving â A car gives you the freedom to explore further afield. Adelaide Airport is only a 10-minute drive, while attractions such as McLaren Vale wine region, Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills, and Fleurieu Peninsula beaches are within an easy 30â45 minute drive.
Cycling & Walking â Glenelg is flat and highly walkable, with bike paths connecting to neighbouring beach suburbs like Brighton and Henley. A relaxed coastal cycle or evening stroll along the esplanade is a must.

Easy to find good parking self check in easy. A older style apartment but very spacious comfortable, cooking facilities good . The views and location absolute killer loved it . Short stroll to eateries and beach weâll be back .
Perfect location and great views from balcony and lounge area. Unit 4 is definitely the pick of apartments as the others didn't have the same outlook.
It has everything you need and with a few extras (dish drying rack, shelf in kitchen... food was stored on the fridge, no ther space, hairdryer) could be more user friendly.
It had been cleaned but there was mould in the bathroom sink and shower which could easily have been cleaned up.
Some newer sheets and towels would be awesome too.
This was a great home away from home. Know they do not have an elevator nor WiFi. Not sure about Air Conditioning as we did not need it. There were fans though the couple evenings it felt stuffy. The beds were comfortable. The place was clean. Everything worked. It was a pleasant place to be.
Seafield Tower No 4 is in a terrific location - wonderful view of the ocean, across a path from the beach and within walking distance to the many cafes, restaurants and shops of Jetty Road and The Marina. It had a balcony and large windows from where we could enjoy the view, was spacious inside, was comfortable and was easy to keep tidy. A couple of faults - the carpet was a bit tired and could do with a steam clean to remove some stains and there was mould on the shower ceiling but⊠the pros out do the cons and we loved our stay in Glenelg so would definitely stay at Seafield Tower again!
The property was very lovely, only two small negatives was there was dove poo on the floors from the doves living in the ceiling which were very loud in the morning. Also broken towel rack and toilet roll holder. For the amount the room cost per night, you dont expect to have things broken
