Little National Hotel Newcastle

10/10 Excellent

"A modern tech equipped hotel. Great location. Good breakfast at the hotel's Monte Cafe."

Anchorage Port Stephens

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most wonderful 2-night stay at The Anchorage to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed. There was a thoughtful birthday card and chocolates waiting for us in our room, which was such a lovely personal touch. We booked the Christmas in July set menu for dinner and, honestly, it was incredible. Every single dish was delicious, generous in size, and full of beautiful Christmas flavours. It was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. The hospitality from every staff member was exceptional. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. We were especially touched by how kind and engaging they were with our children—it made our family feel so welcome throughout our stay. We also loved the afternoon mulled wine and cheese, which was the perfect cosy addition to the Christmas in July experience. Thank you to the entire team for making my husband’s birthday so special. We left with wonderful memories and can’t wait to come back in summer to experience The Anchorage in a completely different season. Highly recommend!"
