Firstly, for best value call the proprietor direct as his price offered was substantially lower than booking websites. The setting here is stunning with a view beyond the complex's boardwalk, through the melaleuca's to the broad white sands of main beach. All apartments afford a view. Our room was spacious and clean, the queen bed was comfy. Furnishings and fitout were somewhat dated, though I suggest this was factored into the room price.

Fantastic location, so close to the beach,clean and well managed. We came to Straddie intending to stay just two nights at the Anchorage,ended up staying for six and don’t really want to go home :-)
Apartments are on the small side and the building is not that young but every thing works well and when you can just walk out your door and cross a short boardwalk through the paperbarks to the beach , who cares.

The accommodation here is no frills and a bit dated ,but the rooms are clean and the balcony is spacious enough for 2 adults. Our balcony had one comfy seat so we fetched any from bbq area.
Reception were very friendly and helpful.
Walking distance from the gorge walk if you are reasonably fit but bus stops right outside.
Not a huge choice for eating within walking distance but we enjoyed a dinner at the bowls club which gives a bright and friendly welcome.
All in all a perfect stay for a couple of nights but lacks the comforts for much longer
