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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Anchorage Port Stephens. The buffet breakfast was excellent, dinners were equally excellent, delicious food beautifully presented. The shared lounge and bar areas looked inviting and comfy however on this trip we didn't get to check these out as busy catching up with a friend in the area. Definitely will check out on our next visit! Loved the pontoon coffee/breakfast bar, the grounds were beautiful and the setting overall is simply stunning. All staff were friendly and welcoming. Thank you all for a restful break, we're certainly making the Anchorage one of our regular stays in future.

We love it here for work or play, it is peaceful and the surrounds are amazing. Its a favourite destination for sure. Work feels like a pleasure when here and there is always time to stop for a bit of whale watching.

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.
