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.

Great motel
Beautiful location. Amazing view from river side room. Amazi g to wake to rhw sunrising over the ocean. Well appointed rooms. Unfortunately very thin walls. And the shower grate was pretty gross, lots of old hair caught in it.
