Incredibly disappointed

2.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 9 Oct 2023
I was very excited for this accomodation, however we were incredibly disappointed with our 1 bedroom apartment which felt like a construction site. The flooring had been removed and was left as bare concrete with grit. As the flooring had been removed and the doors not adjusted for this there was a substantial gap underneath the apartment door allowing for a constant influx of bugs throughout the night. There was no comfortable furniture; the couch and table had been replaced with outdoor furniture. When we raised our concerns with the on-site manager we were informed the apartments are individually owned and the owner of this apartment enjoyed this style. The website pictures were a significant misrepresentation of the apartment we received and we certainly would not have paid just under 300 per night to stay here. In addition the wifi did not adequately reach our apartment and there is very minimal phone reception at this location.
The resort is certainly in a great location with beach access but I could not recommend the resort for the price paid.
Date of stay: September 2023
Room Tip: Ask for pictures of the room you will be staying in. Certainly avoid apartments 11 and 12.

The resorts on site 'manager' is the reason I will never go back.
He is rude unhelpful has no manners arrogant and should NOT be doing this 'job'.
His attitude is disgraceful for somebody being in hospitality...
I would not even rate this resort nor would I recommend it,bc of this reason...thank you

Our first trip to Straddie and we were very happy that we chose Anchorage on Straddie. Beach front location is a gem. Great central location. Excellent for couples or families. Stan's Chicken Bar next door definitely worth a visit as is the Bowling Club a 4 minute stroll away.

Room tip: All rooms seem to have an ocean view/outlook

We’ve just had the most amazing stay at Anchorage and can’t praise it enough!

The location is spot on, the view from the balcony was jaw dropping and Damian was a fantastic host!

We can’t wait to come!

Hi.
I now live in the UK but grew up in Brisbane. Visited here with all my family over the week in October. It’s on the beach👍 No long walk no car journeys. The place is spotless. BBQ area is like a B&Q show case, there is even a fridge there. The manager is helpful and friendly. Parking spaces are big so it’s easy to unload. The rooms are tidy and cooking facilities are great. Good strong showers. Myself and family have holidayed all over Europe in beach villa’s and apartments and the Anchorage smashes them all for six in terms of position and value. Can’t wait till we return.

We regularly stay at Anchorage. It’s the best beachfront accomodation we’ve found. The studio room is larger than most one bedroom units, it has a kitchen, queen bed, couch and dining area as well as a full sized bathroom. All balconies have sea views and you sleep with the ocean waves in the background.Damian and Leanne are wonderful hosts and the place is always beautiful. Will definitely be back.
