Port Stephens is one our favourite places, we've stayed at many places in the area over many years, from our recent stay, the Anchorage is by far the best. We stayed in room 102, it was lovely, modern, a beautiful bathroom and comfortable bed, but we discovered a slight problem. At breakfast, the Manager, Ali was discreetly going around greeting and making everyone feel welcome. When we mentioned our problem to Ali his response was immediate and satisfying.

We arrived a bit late and weren't quite sure how to check in as the office was unattended, however a quick phone call to Ian sorted us out.
Ian and Jane are incredbly hospitable and genuinely seem to love their jobs.
Upon walking up the stairs to our treehouse accomodation we were welcomed by a mother possum with a baby on it's back!! This quickly turned to four more possums, a lovely experience (they're so soft!).
The spa was amazing, walking distance to the beach and we loved our...

Loved the peace and quiet, the bird life and leafy grounds. The garden was well kept. The reception person was very helpful and welcoming. Instructions and rules of the park were easy to follow and everything was easy and organised when booking in to the villa we stayed in. We were in walking distance to restaurants and cafes and a short distance from the bowling club for food. We had a lovely couple of days and will try to return in the future. Thank you.

This was our first time staying at a Big 4/caravan park. We stayed in the Kentia cabin with our two year old. We were very pleasantly surprised by the facilities and all the activities for children and families.
The cabin itself had plenty of room for us. Everything we needed in the kitchen for our stay. Beds were super comfy too! The shower is above a bath which wasn’t an issue. And the bath was amazing! So big. We actually had the three of us in it one night lol.

We were given wrong information about opening time of the airport. As we were carrying medical equipment and insulin pump which meant we could not go through the scanner we caused a huge line up at security. I asked how we could have prevented this. They told me we needed to get there much earlier. Your front office lady did not know that the airport opened at 4:30am. She told us 5:30am. We could have saved a lot of anxiety for us and frustration for airport staff if we got there earlier.

This resort had everything we needed for a family weekend getaway. The pool and huge spa were a hit with the kids as were the Octopus slide and jumping castle. What more do you need with kids for a weekend? The staff were very friendly and accommodating and although we didn't take advantage of the restaurant and bar it was great to have it there in case. Happy hour was popular! As we had no one booked in after us we were able to have a late check out and didn't leave until 6pm - this really made...
