Beautiful location and amazing views

The unit was very well appointed with everything we could possibly need. The views were amazing and well worth the price. The location couldn’t have been any better. Just a super short walk to Woolworths and local shops and restaurants. It really is in the hub of everything but a nice quiet complex with lovely neighbours. 100% recommend to anyone wanting a picture perfect holiday.

Beautiful property ..

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A beautiful property and the location is perfect.Maintenance needs attention, the toilet roll holder in the main bathroom not ensuite needs attention, we stayed 3 months earlier and it was the same.There is a lack of mirrors, the main bathroom mirror is so dark and the 2nd bedroom has no mirror at all.Why I marked property management low was the property hadn't been cleaned when we arrived and the process to have it cleaned was not helpful.

Great spot

This property is a great place to stay when in Nelson Bay. You can walk to everything, has great views and an apartment with everything you need. Lovely furnishings, a comfortable and roomy apartment makes you feel at home. Directions to the building car park would be good as it was not easy to find. Also height limitations in car park meant we had to leave our car on the street.

Very well equipped and furnished, great location

We loved our stay at the Anchorage. The apartment is furnished beautifully and has all the comforts. The lift access was great for my ageing parent. The car park spaces are very narrow, so large cars are difficult to park and get out of, but otherwise the stay was outstanding.

Just beautiful

We had a weekend away with 2 other couples and the location is within walking distance of everything you need. The view is exceptional and the unit is so beautifully appointed. The furniture is what you would have in your own home. Nothing negative to say.

Great Holiday

The unit was in a great location, close to Marina and shops, hotels, up a bit of a hill from town centre. The unit is well furnished to a high standard. The balcony has great views with an outdoor setting and lounge. The only improvement I could suggest would be to add some safety decals on the glass sliding doors to the balcony, as at the moment it would be very easy for someone to accidentally walk through the closed glass door, thinking it was open as there are no markings on the glass. Overall we had a lovely holiday.

Mini break

It's a great spot, we rent the same apartment and have done so for 20 years. The new renovation has made it much better and the view and accessibility is also great. Of course it has minor issues as do all rentals but it suits our needs.

Felt at home!

My partner and I stayed at the apartment this weekend and would like to thank the owners for offering such great accomodation. We were quite surprised at just how sizeable the apartment actually is, which would be great for a family! But even with just the two of us, we felt so snug and at home. Such care was taken with the decor and planning of the apartment which made us feel very comfortable - especially the view of the marina when sitting on the lounge! And we were able to really relax and enjoy our stay in the luxury of such a well kept apartment. Wish we could have stayed longer!
