The people manning reception were friendly and helpful. Peter particularly looked after me, coming to my aid out-of-hours to retrieve something I had left in our room after I checked out. A lovely, peaceful place to stay and enjoy the boats and the sounds of the waves from the balcony and from within our room. Thank you!

Room was a good size. Nice modern bathroom. Disappointing that the gentleman who asked if it was our first visit and when advised yes, he didn't let us know that the soldiers club across the road provided temporary membership during our stay. We ate and had a few drinks there and could have benefited from members discounts. Recommend this be mentioned to guests checking in. We only realised when checking out from the little envelope they place your keycard in.

We stayed in the waterside king suite. A beautifully furnished suite with dual balconies boasting amazing waterfront views. Easy onsite parking and easy walking distance to an array of restaurants. Definitely worth a stay.

Excellent rooms - very clean and comfortable. Good breakfast in the downstairs cafe. Residents here have temporary membership of the Soldiers Club across the road, which is a nice place for food and drinks. Close to all local amenities. Great view from the balcony.

The Esplanade was a wonderful place to stay at Bateman’s Bay. It was in an ideal location on the bay with a boardwalk behind the hotel that was lined with stores and restaurants. Close by within 3 blocks was a shopping mall with everything that you could need while you are visiting. The room was generous in size and had a nice bathroom with a walk in shower. Everything was clean. The bed was very comfortable. We had a very nice East Indian meal for dinner just a block away and in the morning we had a lovely breakfast along the boardwalk. They even let us use their laundry facilities before we checked out! They went above and beyond our expectations.
