Anchorage Port Stephens

Everything about the property is lovely except we were disappointed as returning customers (for the fifth time!) that our room overlooked a fence I realise we got an excellent rate but the property wasn't full to capacity so a better outlook for returning customers would have been appreciated.

The room was outstanding, the service excellent, and the facilities exceptional. From the moment we arrived and were warmly welcomed by the polished, gracious staff with a glass of delicious, chilled sparkling wine, our stay was of the highest quality. The lounge and bar area adjacent to the main reception, offering beautiful views over the marina and beyond, were immaculate and very comfortable. Our room was well appointed, with an excellent, spacious bathroom and seating areas. The terrace overlooked the marina, and everything felt luxurious. We ate dinner and breakfast in the Kitchen Galley restaurant,both of which were excellent. On departure, which was seamless, the reception staff were warm and charming. The whole visit, from start to finish, was faultless, and our only disappointment was that we were unaware beforehand about what a quality establishment this is. We could have booked a longer stay!

We love the Anchorage. It’s a very relaxing and luxurious venue. Even at peak times the resort doesn’t feel crowded. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and beautiful. Loved the special little extras like the champagne welcome drink on arrival and the barrister coffee at breakfast. The breakfast is amazing - one of the best I have ever experienced. My only very small criticism is that when using the bath you can’t easily access the body wash and shampoo / conditioner as these products are attached to the wall of the shower. When I previously stayed at the Anchorage the rooms had individual Molten Brown products which I loved. I do however understand that it’s a sustainability necessity to reduce waste and hence the individual products are no longer supplied.

Comfortable bed, lovely view and balcony. Great breakfast and lovely restaurant with great staff. The pool (in particular the adults only) was lovely & refreshing.... Whilst the location is beautiful and at the wharf, access to town is not walking distance. Lovely beaches nearby.

Loved the location and that it was beside a working marina. Hotel is beautifully decorated with a perfect seaside air to it.
