Anchorage Seafront Hotel

Well breakfast wasn't offered during my stay as the kitchen was closed. This wasn't a problem as coffee shops and food shops are within walking distance. The location is perfect and lucky for my partner and I that school holidays were over and the hotel had plenty of rooms available so we were very lucky and were granted an upgrade. Our reason for travelling was my wife had just lost her father and she has been very upset. I told this to the front desk staff and he was generous enough to offer the up grade. A spa room is the way to go. the room also had a balcony and see Offen sat out watching the lawn bowlers practicing, very interesting, plus the ocean was a backdrop to the grassy lawn in front of the hotel. I will come again and will definitely book a spa room.

The time when we had to pack-up and go home.

Location was lovely with views from the balcony over looking the bowling club lawns to the sea, stunning sunrise views. Henry & all staff were super friendly, efficient, happy vibe throughout the hotel & Bistro. The food was of a high standard & quality, with generous serves particularly the fresh Wharf Flathead in a beer & ginger light batter... delicious ( we had it twice) Prices very good. Wine list was enjoyable as was the fresh cakes & delicious coffee. We have already booked another stay! Highly recommend it, cockle train drives past, a great location!

There are lot's of stairs but worth the exercise ( pack lightly) They didn't sell sparkling water in the Bistro.

The name of the hotel ' Anchorage ' was significant as I was staying there to release my father's ashes to the ocean. I like older buildings with character & history. I thought the furnishings in the communal rooms were lovely...the organ, dining dresser etc. Positioned with a sea view was perfect.

The only thing I can say that was lacking was there were no pictures on the walls in our room which would have made it feel more welcoming & homely. As there was no air cooling we kept the fan on all night which was a little disruptive of our sleep on & off.

The location, the amenities and the staff were amazing. Really good value for money. Victor Harbour is such an amazing coastal town and everyone is so friendly. The staff at the hotel were amazing, and it’s walking distance to everything that Victor Harbour has to offer, the shops the pubs and everything is only a short walk away. The staff are always more than happy to help with telling you the best local spots. The rooms were nice and spacious, the beds are super comfortable. So happy with my stay 10/10 ❤️

The overall feel of the property was comfortable and unpretentious. The property is an old property with all of the old world charm and the Staff was super friendly - helpful with any enquiry. We were treated so well, would recommend this place highly. please note there are some upstairs rooms, if you require level access it would be handy to mention this on booking. it has a beautiful original Staircase. The upstairs balcony has stunning views of the ocean.

The bed in the room may be too low for some guests but this was a minor observation

Beautiful historic building full of character. Staff that I saw where lovely and helpful. We originally booked a budget room but gained an upgrade for a little more due to cancellation when we arrived. We had the spa suite. It was amazing. Big queen bed, single bed in a separate room and balcony overlooking the ocean and beautiful large bathroom. Clean and comfy. Super easy walk to everything victor harbour township offers.

The spa jets sprayed out the tub so we didn't use them to avoid drowning the room. We filled to where the room recommend as well. The single room didn't have a door so there was no privacy. But It didn't phase us too much.

We were expecting basic rooms, but were pleasantly surprised to find we had ensuites, & all the facilities of a motel. We were also very lucky to be able to access our rooms early due to it being Christmas Day (office closed early) which allowed us to settle in at our lunch/ dinner destination without having to decamp mid-meal to check-in.

Unfortunately one can't stop others being disrespectful - banging doors & running up & down corridors etc.

Spotlessly clean, very friendly, helpful staff, great location. An historic hotel, not overly renovated. I prefer slightly shabby with the original atmosphere. Perhaps not to everyone's taste. Great cafe/restaurant downstairs.

I stayed in a front room with a sea view for the first 3 nights. My last night was in a small single room overlooking the back utility roofs.This was not as nice.

on my first booking we had room 5. I was aware that the private bathroom was across the hall as read on booking.com. The building is just beautiful and room 5 spacious, comfortable and charming with doors opening to the huge old verandah with killer views. Bathroom was huge with an actual bath and also very charming. Loved my one night stay I booked another two nights for the following week (after walking the Wild South Coast Trail). This time I got room 6:(

Room 6 was room 5s ugly cousin. Small, cramped and lacking charm. I still enjoyed my stay, but if I had of gotten room 6 in my first visit, I would not have rebooked for the additional two nights. So, while I encourage anyone that appreciates a beautiful old building to book a room, make sure you ask to view it first (or ask for beautiful room 5…..but maybe we were upgraded without knowledge).

A beautiful restored hotel facing the water. The long balcony offers their guest the best views in Victor Harbor. We had a no contact check-in, which worked perfectly. Their instructions were clear and easy to follow. Our budget room had a separate bathroom that was 20m from the room, which was fine. It was large and clean and had the best water pressure. The room itself had a sink and fridge, a comfortable bed . We spent time sitting on the balcony having drinks watching the water.

No complaints from us
