Oaks Glenelg Plaza Pier Suites

We had a wonderful stay here whilst attending a conference. The room had a lovely sea view and had everything we required. Very close to the main shops and restaurants. The service was amazing and the staff went out of their way to help out when needed. Highly recommend visiting

We had the most wonderful stay at Oaks Glenelg. We were greeted so warmly by an absolutely lovely staff member, Kalindi, who went above & beyond to make our stay special. Our apartment was beautiful- so clean, comfortable & had the best view! My sister & I took our Mum to celebrate her birthday & it was so special that we have decided it will be our yearly tradition! Thank you for the wonderful service x

Pros: Lovely view of the ocean, though the beach scene is marred by some tractors parked right at the beach. They allow luggage storage after checkout, an option many travelers take up because checkout is at 10am (when asked for extended checkout, they yield to 11am max). Easy walk to bus stops, the town centre and the jetty. Apartment is spacious but furniture has seen better days. Kitchen is well-equipped though and the washing machine works well although you need to bring your own detergent. They provide shampoo, conditioner, hand-wash and bath gel. That’s it. Cons: They add 1.5% to your room charge if you pay by credit card. This type of business practice leaves a sour taste, although they will tell you it’s in the fine prints. There are other niggling things that irk. Like there’s only one dustbin for the entire one-bedroom apartment. Like there’s no tissue box. Like the toilet paper holder that keeps falling off. Like the glass partition that does not adequately prevent water from splashing out when you shower. Like the bathtub that does not have a stopper, so you can’t soak. Like the power points that are placed at inconvenient places. Like the dining room chair with a semi broken leg. All these things may sound trivial, but they all add up. Thing is, most of those things can be rectified easily if they put in some effort. Overall, I had an OK stay but will not be back.
