Years ago, before I was even allowed into pubs, this used to be a really popular nightclub. I have…read moreno idea what it was called, I just remember that we would hear about it all the time. I'm not sure if it has always been known as the Watermark (namely because I rarely, if ever, went there - though I do remember coming here with a friend once for a couple of games of pool). However, on New Years Eve, when I made my way down to Glenelg, I decided to go an check it out again. It was certainly quite packed, and the bouncers seemed to have their hands full making sure there was no trouble. Anyway it is a pretty classy place, and quite nice, though not a place I would give a high rating for. Their gaming room literally looks like a casino, and they do have a nice beer garden that looks out onto the marina. However other than that there wasn't all that much that stood out about this place.

I wish i could leave a review with more than one star. My stomach is in turmoil. The staff at this…read moreestablishment are not firing on all cylinders. Starting with our arrival our reserved table had not been properly cleaned. We had to aproach an employee to ask for the table and chairs to be re-wiped before we could sit. After paying for our plates we headed over to the open buffet section. The first thing i noticed is that the plates provided looked clean at first glance, however if scraped with a nail or utensil i can guarentee debris would come up. NEITHER the plates around the buffet nor the bowls around the desert bar had been properly cleaned or disenfected. After finally finding some clean plates after sorting through the stack. We grabbed our food and sat down to eat. After a meal that even our 11 year old family member deemed to be poor quality, the food either being under or overcooked, we decided we would not be coming back. Towards the end of the night i noticed the evaporative air cooler vent above our table had been leaking and dripping water due to a fault. (None of the other identical vents in the resturaunt had this issue) This had been dripping and falling INTO the food over the course of the night. When one of our party memebers reported the issue to the staff, the manager was notified. The manager then came out and viewed the problem and proceeded to walk away without speaking to us. Considering we had eaten contaminated vent water, we did expect the staff to at least adress the issue with us. We had to ask for the manager several more times before the staff cared to organise it. The staff were rude and dismisisive, at one point one of my party members had a staff memeber audibly laugh and smirk at him for being upset after eating contaminated and possibly dangerous substances. Once the manager came out she tried to tell us it was just clean water and minimise the situation. We had to explain to her that when evaporative vents leak like that they are always contaminated and filled with debris and bacteria. Fortunatley we were compensated for the meal costs, but if the watermark wants to buy me some ant-acid to deal with the aftermath of thier establishment that would be great. Dissapointing considering this place used to be a reknowned establishment.

We visited them while they were there and I'd never realised these apartments were there even though I'd walked past it a hundred times. I just always thought, what is that huge shark head doing there? It just reminded me of something you'd see at mini golf. Anyway, the place it self was really nice and had a great view of the beach. The balcony was big enough for about ten people and had a little BBQ, and out door setting. The inside consisted of three double beds, and two single beds. I was most impressed with the large spa bath in the front bathroom. The kitchen was a bit small but seeing as though Jetty Road isn't far away I'd doubt many meals would be cooked here. There are other apartments to choose from which I didn't see inside of, but I'd definitely suggest choosing one facing the beach so you can enjoy the view.

Then again I probably shouldn't be all that surprised considering that not only is it Glenelg, it is the type of place that really only the locals know about, and considering the locals, then this is going to be one of those pubs that I really do like.

My partner and I stayed here for a few nights. The beds are harder than the floor and probably as…read moreold as the building. The rest of the room is okay but could use a clean. Our big issue lies with the management and the food. We had not eaten at all that day due to work, so on the first night, we thought to eat at the hotel and ordered two chicken parmies-what could go wrong? The schnitzels were barely cooked, and the sauce was very bland, though it came with a generous serving of chips. We ordered our food around 6:30 PM. Within six hours (by midnight), my partner became extremely ill, and an hour or so after that, she couldn't stop projectile vomiting Eventually, It subsided, but the next morning (Friday), she ate some toast and went back to vomiting violently, leading us to go straight to the hospital. After talking with a doctor and after many drugs, we were told she was suffering from extreme food poisoning. Once we learned this, we instantly knew there was only one possible source: our hotel When we got out, we informed the hotel manager that night. She took all our detalls and sald she wasn't the manager who deals with this and that we should come back the morning of our checkout when the right manager. would be in. Upon checkout, that manager said the same thing and assured us someone would call us. Well, that was at least a week ago, and we have heard nothing. We have attempted to handle this situation face-to-face with the hotel, but communication is a two-way street, and I am extremely disappointed. The worst part of all this is the dinning area and out door area is beautiful and cosy and the meal looked absolutely delicious but looks are deceiving. The images below were of the actual meal my partner ate too So, long story short: don't stay here, and definitely don't eat here.

We've been here twice now (Christmas Eve and Boxing Day). We ordered a large serve of the grilled…read moresquid both times. It was delicious and tender but was served lukewarm to cold (on both occasions). I'm not sure if this is how it's intended to be served but the consensus is that it'd be better served warm. The chips are yummy. We ordered these both times too. And the lamb with rice and papadam. The vegetable platter was yummy though not everyone's cup of tea. Meanwhile the jarlsberg arancini were delicious even though they didn't taste like jarlsberg. The prawn and cured salmon pizza was loved by some and disliked by others. Beer garden is amazing. As soon as word gets out, this place is going to get very busy. Great live music. Great choice of seating (stools, seats, undercover, in the sun), HUGE TV, awesome atmosphere, nice range of wines. Staff were a little on the inexperienced side but I assume they're just new and in training. Overall, two great experiences. We'll be back again.

However on New Years Eve I met up with a friend and decided to check this place out again. Well, it certainly has changed with the times. The front bar seemed closed, however they had expanded out the back to create a really cool restaurant, and they had a pretty large beer garden as well. However there wasn't much in the way of decent beers on tap. Still, I did quite like the place and would come back here again, even if only to experience the beer garden.

I ventured in to meet some over 70 year olds for lunch, surprised that they had chosen to eat here, especially after entering through the front bar, which was really scary. The bartender was friendly enough and explained to me how to find the bistro, which, of course, was through the pokies room out the back. Well, the dining room out the back was a little more welcoming. Still not a part of this century but certainly bright and cheery with lots of windows to wake you up if you have just crept out of the dimly lit pokie room. Then I realised the reason why there were so many people here for a week day lunch: They have a $10 lunch special, with all you can eat salad bar. I was to told that the food was quite good but I wasn't tempted to go there. The motel rooms out the very back look like they might be rented out by the hour, not that I have ever seen them up close. So if you are of, at least pension age, and enjoy a little flutter on the pokies this could be worth a visit, if not, stay well away.

My stay at Oaks Liberty Tower coincided with my 6 month anniversary with my boyfriend, and as such…read morethere was a lot of pressure on the Oaks team to deliver something that would only help improve our special day. The Liberty Towers apartments are stunning and probably one of the best places I have stayed at in Adelaide. First tip is to book on wotif.com which will give a discounted rate that you won't find on their website or by booking over the phone. You may need to book short notice to get the good deals but its worth it for the amount of money you can save. The odd thing about Oaks Liberty Towers is part of the apartment complex is owned by the Oaks franchise and the other part is privately owned and rented by tenants. This was strange at first to think there were people who could actually afford to buy one of the these beautiful apartments living in the room next door, but it also made you feel like you weren't in a hotel which was nice for a change. We had the 1 bedroom apartment, which for the two of us was huge. There is a living and dining area with a large couch and an adjacent bedroom featuring the biggest bed I have ever seen. The kitchen is fully equipped and although we choose to go out for dinner, would be more than adequate as a space to cook in. During our stay we also made use of the pool and spa which was quiet late on a Sunday afternoon and we had the whole area to ourselves, again making us feel like we weren't really staying in a hotel. The only thing to watch out for is make sure you have a bank card which has a credit function as we didn't realise you had to put down a $150.00 bond for the room and for two students that don't have credit cards it proved a little difficult. Overall though, a very luxurious experience.
