Title: Esplanade or Frogmore Apartments, info please?

Sorry, folks, yet another question!
Has anyone either used or know of the above two holiday apartments - they're both on West Beach, the first on Seaview Road and the other on Military Road. I'm currently looking for alternatives for the first month in Adelaide - and the caravan sites are a horrendous price! - especially at Easter.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.

We used the Esplanade apartments. The ones on Seaview road are fine but they also have an appartment just round the corner on Burbridge Road which is the one we had It's, how can I put it, a bit dated, but clean.

Hi stayed in esplande apartments, seaview road, for 3 weeks. Supply everything, clean and comfortable but basic. Supply clean linen every week and laundry for washing $3, supply clothes horse and plenty of washing lines and pegs. No oven though so we were a bit limited to what we could cook, which took its toll on us as I was working not on holiday!!!!. 2 storey apartments top floor very nice, ones below looked a bit grotty. Unit 6 has a small veranda overlooking west beach - lovely views. Try and get 4,5 or 6 if you can as they have recently been done out. Wouldn't cook on the barbecue they advertise but the seating area is ok for a bit of fresh air. They may have updated as it was winter when we went. (aug) Don't know about frogmore apartments but I know it has a pool. Although the landlords are very friendly beware as they tried to get us out a night early as htye had the chance to let it for a full week from the friday (to late by sat) they offered to pay for us to stay in a motel they were that deperate but as we were moving into our rental the next day , and I was working we said no. They did ask us 5 days in advance if we would think about it and there were no repercussions for not going but we had to be firm about it. They are business people and were looking after their own interests. Close to shops and beach and only a 5 minit drive from the airport cost us $12 in a taxi. good luck scanny
addit - I think the upstairs are all 1 and 2 bedroomed - twin beds in 2nd bed in unit 5.

We stayed at the Frogmore Apartments and very clean and yes has a pool. We found the landlords to be great and VERY upfront about getting the rent sorted out BUT also were a wealth of information on suburbs etc.
You could do a lot worse.

Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to share their thoughts - always nice to know you're not booking into a cockroach-infested sewerage facility!
Cheers.
