Anchorage on Straddie

Fabulous location on the east side of the island right on the beach. Great friendly, accommodating manager, good admin staff. Clean, well equipped kitchen, nice view from balcony, nice small pool for a dip after beach walks or a scuba dive.

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.

We rented 3 rooms in the far right complex. They are the only 3 units with air conditioning and at night in February we needed it because it was hot. The apartments are very clean, very big and very comfy and all have a big balcony with great views. We stayed here to be close to Manta Ray dive shop and to be right on their fabulous beach. Pool was clean and it was great to have a bus stop right out front to get us to Point Lookout. Each day the kookaburras would visit us on the railing of our balcony and the wildlife of koala and kangaroos at the North Gorge walk was incredible especially at sunset. The only 3 restaurants within walking distance was at the Bowls Club, Oasis and take out from the gas station. Surprisingly the gas station food was pretty good for a burger and the fries were great. The bowls club food was ok but the on tap beer was fantastic. Oasis was a little pricey but good. Our fav place to eat was the prawn shack in Point Lookout. Great subs and they have take away pizzas that you can cook at home. Fantastic! We loved Straddie Island and would definitely stay at Anchorage again.

Relaxing, peaceful & nice studio apartment (23) with balcony & good view over the ocean. Has everything you need to cook in kitchen. Bed was comfy & slept well, waking to the birds & gorgeous sunrise. Lovely pool, located right on the beach, has a friendly accommodating manager
