The Anchorage

The Anchorage, Port Stephens, Australia

Our rating: First Class

The Anchorage has all the ingredients for a truly memorable waterfront escape.

With a fantastic marina location and a sophisticated and relaxed nautical theme throughout, this first class boutique accommodation serves as the perfect place to unwind and explore (by foot, boat or sea kayak) the surrounding area, which is famous for its whale watching and quaint resorts.

Each of the beautifully furnished and luxuriously indulgent guest rooms has a private balcony or verandah, most with views across the bobbing yachts, fishing boats and out to the ocean where dolphins can often be spotted playing in the bay.

Take a hand-prepared picnic hamper out to the beach or for some of the finest fresh seafood, dine in style at the award-winning Merret’s restaurant.
