We stayed for two nights and would say the hotel was ok. The staff were lovely and helpful when we had to return as we had forgotten something, however the rooms are dated, but clean and the windows are very drafty. We opted for the continental breakfast which again was just ok. For a short stay it was absolutely fine, it’s in the beach front and right in the middle of Esperance so great accessibility for exploring, but nothing to rave about.
What a pleasant surprise this accommodation has been. Far surpassed our expectations. The family room has a QS and large single bed. Very comfortable, good bedding with pillow choices plus extra blankets if needed. Great bathroom with bath and shower with great hot water supply. Jug, toaster and microwave plus frig. Daily room service too - bonus! We went to Bandy Creek Harbour beach where there is great sand, shallow water for the little one to play, toilet and shower plus a fish processing shop where we bought great fish to take home. So many beaches and bays to visit and places to go, shop and eat plus lots of fishing gear shops. We also visited Stone Henge which was interesting and good value and has lots of info plus a shop.
Having just returned from our one-week holiday in Esperance, we wanted to write a 5-star review for Clearwater Motel Apartments to express our thanks to the staff and assure everyone that this is a fabulous place to stay. We stayed in the Deluxe Apartment and were thrilled to learn that the interior of the apartment is exactly as it appears in the pictures on the website: fresh, clean, new, and very well-appointed with great extras such as free parking and free laundry. Everything in the apartment worked perfectly and we didn't have to contact the staff even once for any issues at all. With an hour of unpacking, the three of us felt completely at home and always enjoyed coming back to the apartment after spending the day touring around the Esperance area because everything we needed was set up perfectly to relax without hassles. The beds were firm enough for me, which is important because of my back issues, although admittedly I think they were medium firmness mattresses. The beach is a about 2-minute walk away, and several of the Esperance attractions are also walking distance. We would definitely stay in this Deluxe Apartment again. Things to note to manage expectations: 1) Wi-fi is included, but you may struggle with wi-fi coverage and speed, as noted by some other reviewers. We did not raise this with the staff as we were able to get excellent mobile coverage which met our needs, and it wasn't important to us to resolve. 2) These are not serviced apartments, so please don't expect that. You will need to manage your own waste etc. 3) The courtyard of the Deluxe Apartment does not have a view, but this wasn't important to us. We just needed somewhere to stay each night. 4) Parking for premium rooms, including the Deluxe Apartment we stayed in, is reserved and convenient. Parking for other rooms may differ. 5) We did not notice the traffic noise as per many other reviews but do note that the apartments are quite close to major thoroughfares.
