Nice apartment right on the beach.

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 30 Oct 2023
My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights in October. We stayed in apartment 63 on the top floor. It was a 1 bedroom apartment with an on suite bathroom and laundry, a spacious lounge and fully equipped kitchen. It was clean and fairly modern with nice outside decks off the lounge and bedroom. It was approximately 70 metre's walk through an area of trees and bush onto a beautiful white sand beach. Parking was excellent on site in a small garage.
When we first walked in we were very happy with this nice spacious apartment. A few minutes drive to supermarkets, cafe's and restaurants and the North Gorge walk and Main Beach. The property has a really nice tepid swimming pool which we enjoyed. We really enjoyed our stay here and wished we had stayed longer. The bed was comfortable and we had a good nights sleep. On check in the man at reception was very friendly and gave us some good local knowledge. Check out was also quick and easy. We thought our stay was good value for money, and would recommend to other travelers. We would definitely stay here again.
Just one thing there are no lifts and there were quite a few stairs up to our apartment. This was not a problem for us, but If you have mobility issues or elderly ask for a lower floor apartment.
Date of stay: October 2023
Room Tip: There are no lifts if you have mobility issues ask for a lower or ground floor apartment.

    Reviewed 10 October 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.

    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.
