About

Esplanade Residences serves South Island from 14 Esplanade, St Clair, Dunedin 9012, New Zealand, a coastal setting on the island's southeastern edge. The property sits in St Clair, a Dunedin suburb, and carries a 4.6 out of 5 average from 59 reviews.

Guests staying at Esplanade Residences have left 59 reviews between them, producing an average of 4.6 out of 5 that places the property among the more consistently reviewed addresses in Dunedin. Dunedin anchors the lower South Island, and the main centres of Queenstown, Christchurch and Nelson are all within the island's transport network, so reaching St Clair from elsewhere involves a domestic hop or a drive. The property's own website, at www.esplanade.co.nz, carries its details.

As a hotel, Esplanade Residences operates from a fixed address on the Esplanade in St Clair, Dunedin 9012. The St Clair location puts guests on Dunedin's coastal fringe rather than in the city centre.

New Zealand's weather shifts quickly, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate, so St Clair stays temperate through the year. Māori place names appear throughout the country, and te reo Māori is an official language alongside English, so the names on signs around Dunedin reflect that.
