Sitting on the seafront in Glenelg, this hotel has good views, particularly at sunset over the sea and the marina, with some pleasant, clean grassland at the main entrance. The room I had was a reasonable size in pretty good order. The hotel itself was quite fresh, very modern but perhaps a little cold as a result. However, everything worked... more

We are sorry to hear that MelbournePinky is not satisfied with the reservation staff at the Oaks Plaza Pier. We pride ourselves on hiring hotel professionals, and believe that we provide both superior product and service compared to any other property in Glenelg. Unfortunately MelbournePinky has failed to indicate any specifics as to the nature of the indicent where she...

I just wanted to write a special thanks for the help that the staff at this hotel offered to me. I accidently left my laptop at the front desk when I checked out. When I got to the airport I became frantic when I could not find it. I telephoned the hotel and an American/Canadian??? person answered the telephone. I... more

We stayed at the Oaks Plaza Pier in a one-bedroom apartment and had a great time. The apartment was clean, modern and had a great view. Staff were friendly. There were multiple dining choices on the ground floor, all providing Room Service. Other guests have made negative remarks on this site, but I found them all to be entirely unjustified.... more

I stayed at Oaks Pier with my partner & another couple in a tiny 2-bedroom ocean-view apartment which had hardly any view of the ocean. When we made the booking we were assured the same size apartment as the one we had on our previously stay 3 months ago, which was a large 2-bedroom + 3-bathroom apartment facing the ocean... more

this is a copy of the letter i wrote to the manager. Interesting experience since the web site says 4.5 stars. I am originally from South Australia but I am embarrassed about this place compared to other equivalent OAKS apartments. Busy time of the year I know….but not impressed. Having stayed in a large number of establishments claiming to be... more

We have found Mr. X's complaints to be unwarranted. We find that few if any of these comments have merit. I will adress this guests points. I should point out we mailed this guest these same responses. Point 1 indicates that the guest was checked into a dirty room, although we have no record of this happening, it does happen...

We booked the Oaks Plaza Pier based on several different reviews from different websites. I originally booked a Beach view room only to find upon arrival that there were none available?? after talking with the staff for several heated minutes we finally came to an agreement and got a single bedroom park view appartment. The appartment was well fitted out... more

There are a lot of things that are very good about the Oaks Plaza Pier. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The room layout and design looks wonderful and the view from the large balcony was lovely. Directly outside is a little bridge over to some wonderful restaurants along the pier. (Loved the food at Esca) If you are... more

Thank you for your observations regarding the sofa. As you may (or may not) already know, the Plaza Pier are serviced apartments which are all individually owned by private owners. As such, so are the furnishings the room, which sometimes makes it difficult to remodel, however most sofas within the Plaza Pier have now been replaced by the owners of...
