Anchorage on Straddie

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.

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.

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
