"Great location to hold my husbands 70th birthday with our family and plenty of room for us all to relax and enjoy the very comfortable large home. Property could use some maintenance and repairs. Cleanliness was not to my liking and needs a really good deep clean. Overall didn’t stop us from enjoying our stay."

Everything about this place was great. Smooth check-in and check-out process. Spacious, clean and comfortable rooms. Walking distance to shopping centre (across the road), with dining options and the likes of Coles, bowling, Chinese & Thai cuisine, KFC. Few minutes drive to activities such as sand boarding, camel rides, go karting, aircraft museum and more. The main feature is by far the wrap around pool although the water temp is cool during winter. The spa and sauna made up for it though....

Port Stephens is one our favourite places, we've stayed at many places in the area over many years, from our recent stay, the Anchorage is by far the best. We stayed in room 102, it was lovely, modern, a beautiful bathroom and comfortable bed, but we discovered a slight problem. At breakfast, the Manager, Ali was discreetly going around greeting and making everyone feel welcome. When we mentioned our problem to Ali his response was immediate and satisfying.

This motel is a hidden gem. It's beautifully maintained with really lovely managers. My room was very clean and very comfortable. I had all I needed and more. I travel a lot for work and can absolutely recommend this motel as a great place to stay.

This was our first time staying at a Big 4/caravan park. We stayed in the Kentia cabin with our two year old. We were very pleasantly surprised by the facilities and all the activities for children and families.
The cabin itself had plenty of room for us. Everything we needed in the kitchen for our stay. Beds were super comfy too! The shower is above a bath which wasn’t an issue. And the bath was amazing! So big. We actually had the three of us in it one night lol.

Loved the peace and quiet, the bird life and leafy grounds. The garden was well kept. The reception person was very helpful and welcoming. Instructions and rules of the park were easy to follow and everything was easy and organised when booking in to the villa we stayed in. We were in walking distance to restaurants and cafes and a short distance from the bowling club for food. We had a lovely couple of days and will try to return in the future. Thank you.

We arrived a bit late and weren't quite sure how to check in as the office was unattended, however a quick phone call to Ian sorted us out.
Ian and Jane are incredbly hospitable and genuinely seem to love their jobs.
Upon walking up the stairs to our treehouse accomodation we were welcomed by a mother possum with a baby on it's back!! This quickly turned to four more possums, a lovely experience (they're so soft!).

This resort had everything we needed for a family weekend getaway. The pool and huge spa were a hit with the kids as were the Octopus slide and jumping castle. What more do you need with kids for a weekend? The staff were very friendly and accommodating and although we didn't take advantage of the restaurant and bar it was great to have it there in case. Happy hour was popular! As we had no one booked in after us we were able to have a late check out and didn't leave until 6pm - this really made...

Stayed here over the New Year and was very impressed with the service, cleanliness (room cleaned daily) and staff friendliness. Towels, tea, coffee provided each day of our stay. Management very friendly and helpful, he even surprised us on New Year's Day with complimentary freshly made cappuccinos. Overall an excellent place to stay. I will definately be returning.
