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 – 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 – Getting around Adelaide from Glenelg is a breeze. The iconic Glenelg Tram runs from Moseley Square straight into Adelaide’s 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 – 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 30–45 minute drive.
Cycling & Walking – 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.
Day Trips – From this address, you’re perfectly positioned for day trips. Enjoy wine tasting in McLaren Vale, hiking in Morialta Conservation Park, or catching a ferry from Cape Jervis to Kangaroo Island for an unforgettable experience.

Beautiful old style building, with shared balcony overlooking Glenelg beach & jetty. Minutes walk to the best food in Glenelg. Clean apartment with ample space and everything we needed for our stay. Highly recommend.
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.

Great Location with all the basics
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.
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!

Excellent location for 6 of us. Facilities were great.I understand it’s a self contained unit but with 6 guests I would have thought more than 1 garbage bag, some glad wrap or foil would have been helpful. Unfortunately our sheets weren’t clean. Pulled out the sofa bed and it was also dirty. Front door also wouldn’t lock so my husband had to fix it before we left on our first outing. Otherwise lovely.

On entering the apartment we were pleasantly surprised by how it was so spacious. The views were amazing. The WiFi was super fast. The laundry facility downstairs was great.It's such a unique building. It had such character.We loved sitting out on the balcony.The location was perfect for walking to anything you needed.The car parking was very good, undercover. Clearly marked.
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

The property is beautifully situation along the beach front with amazing views. Unfortunately the cleaning of the property wasn't the best. Mouldy shower and very dusty. I supported my review with photos to unwind. Unwind then charged me a excessive cleaning fee and was charged for linen that wasn't used. I'm very disappointed in my experience with unwind holidays and am still waiting for my refundable deposit weeks later with many follow up emails to unwind

We had a wonderful stay at Seafield Towers in Glenelg South hosted by Unwind Holidays. Accomodation was extremely comfortable and the location with our view from the balcony was perfect. We have already booked again for next year without hesitation.
