Nice self contained apartment for couple of nights stay at Lakes Entrance. The apartment was slightly old and worn however was clean enough and had all amenities required.
Had a great stay at the anchorage with our dog! Communication was great and would definitely stay again

This place is quite old and looks like it hasn't had much refurbishment for quite some time.
But it was clean and comfortable. Quite spacious. Quiet but well licated to walk to shops and dining options.
We were pretty happy with our stay given we just picked a budget option for an overnighter to break up our trip. I've pai considerably more in the past for places very much inferior to this place.
Recommended for the budget concious. But if your after shiny or new or luxurious seek elsewhere.

An older property that possibly needs to be updated but clean and comfortable. Very good value for money.
This property is old and run down with basic amenities that are not justified for over $200 per night . Holiday season I suppose they can charge excessive rates. Pool is small and basic, playground consists of 1 slide.

if I didn't ask I will never know you bring the pet. your kid lost her jumper is not my fault. I know how to orgnise our rate, no need your suggestion. also pool and playground is designed and produced by specialist according to our property size, not made by us. I really want a 4000 sq meter pool, however our property size only 2000 sq meter.
Hot water was a joke. Shower kept going cold straight away. Gas in stove lighter ran out. Batteries in tv remote were flat. It was like they didn't want to spend any money on upkeep.

if you don't want stay in Chinese people own's accommodation please donnot book by any reason. I have to keep my response rate, otherwise it is waste my time to reply you review.
The units are very good value for money in my opinion. Paul and his family are very friendly and helpful in every way. I have stayed at the Anchorage now on several occasions and have always been satisfied with everything.
Thank you to Paul and family.
We liked that this unit would be perfect for a young family. It has everything they would need. For us, as an older couple, it suited us very well. We had a comfortable night sleep with all that we needed.
you stay in our full refurbishment unit, so what's wrong with that? oh, sorry, I forgot to stay we are Chinese. and why never reply message? and why so rude when see my face at check in time? if I'm white people how do you show your ID? we don't need see you again.

thank you stay with us. may we need rebuild the unit too.
This is a unique 1960s type beach accomodation. Very basic and small but just what you need for an overnight stay. Comfy beds, good water pressure in shower and very clean. Manager left the key for us as we were arriving late and we also had undercover carport for car and a place for the boat. Good 3 star accomodation.
The owners were very friendly & courteous. The property was clean, tidy & affordable for our short stay. Very close to the shopping strip.
Thank you for our stay.

The place is clean and everything works but the building is old and beyond renovating.

when I confirmed with you there are 3 adults with no kid and pet, you said yes, but after you check out we found you have a dog as well, why?from 2015 to 2018, we spent about 87000 to made full renovation for 3 units. however, the feedback is 100% negative. by this reason we are not doing renovation any more.
Excellent location. Very friendly owner.
Family enjoyed the location n stays. Thank you and we will surely recommend this to our family and friends.
We will back soon
The location of the property was very convenient to beach and shops however the property itself was disappointing. The blind outside the bedroom kept breaking in the wind therefore we could not sleep and couldn't get hold of owners to fix until the next day. The linen was also old and some pillow slips were dirty. There was also no dryer to use in the laundry which is annoying when you have wet towels from the beach that you can't dry.
The layout of the units were not great either having to walk through the kids bedroom to get to the bathroom.

dear tanyathank you for your stay with chinese owned anchorage holiday units. may I ask:our bathroom condition is very clear in room name section (1 Bathroom, Walk Through Bedroom 2) , if you not happy with that, why still booking with us?why we have to have a cloth dryer?due to a big windy day, what you want me to do when call me at 10:16pm?this room type only have 4 beds, I saw you list 1 adult and 4 teenage children,so I free upgrade you to the large unit with 5 bed, because I want you have a comfortable stay, however, I didn't heard a single (thank you) and also this unit make you unhappy, I will not doing that foolish things again.
the property is well located in regards to walking to the main street and crossing the footbridge to the beach. Property manager Paul and his family are always welcoming and accommodating. The units are very reasonably priced for what is offered
