Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Sunset On Esplanade, you immediately get that “this is going to be good” feeling. The four-star property sits right where you want to be in Scarborough — honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. There’s something refreshing about a hotel that doesn’t try too hard with flashy lobbies but instead focuses on getting the fundamentals absolutely right. The staff greeting feels genuine rather than scripted, which sets the tone for everything else.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s the thing about Scarborough — it’s not just another Perth beach suburb, and Sunset On Esplanade proves it knows exactly what it’s working with. You’re literally steps from the esplanade (hence the name), which means morning walks along the beach happen naturally, not as some planned tourist activity. The hotel’s position means you can actually see the Indian Ocean from many rooms, and I mean really see it, not just catch glimpses between buildings. Couples absolutely love this spot — they’ve rated the location 9.9 out of 10, which honestly makes perfect sense when you experience it yourself.

The Rooms

The accommodations strike that sweet spot between comfortable and memorable. You know what I appreciate? The rooms feel like someone actually thought about how travelers use space, not just how it looks in photos. The ocean-facing rooms are obviously the stars here — waking up to that Perth coastline view never gets old, even if you’re staying for several days. The furnishings lean modern without being cold, and there’s enough storage space that you’re not living out of your suitcase the entire time.

Practical Perks

Let’s talk about the details that actually matter when you’re traveling. Free private parking on site — and I mean actually free, not “complimentary with resort fees” nonsense. In Scarborough, especially this close to the beach, that’s genuinely valuable. The hotel consistently earns high marks from recent guests (9.7 rating for location), which tells you something about how well they maintain standards. It’s the kind of place where small things work properly — decent water pressure, reliable WiFi, air conditioning that responds when you adjust it.

Why Guests Love It

You’re getting quality four-star accommodations in one of Perth’s most appealing beachside areas, with that rare combination of great views and practical amenities.
