Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
We loved everything about it. The location, location and location with amazing views. I guess the pictures can't do them justice. You have got to experience it. The room was amazing with all the facilities in it like a fully equipped kitchen, and an on-suite with a spa. You are welcomed by different kinds of birds, and cows from the local farm and if you are lucky there will be kangaroos too. A great time to read and relax away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

FranceAmazing place, huge cabin with an fantastic view. Close to many lovely sights and the hot tub was very nice to relax in. Owner was full of tips, we were only in the area for a wedding but he was ready to help with any suggestions to fill our time. Highly recommend this place.

AustraliaThe location is absolutely incredible, it was the perfect 2 night stay for us very cozy & comfortable. Drew was extremely helpful and gave us recommendations to visit places nearby and good for us we took it word by word and it was worth it. The place is very well taken care of and extremely clean. Bonus was to see a mommy Kangaroo with her baby the morning of our checkout. There are lot of places to visit nearby and then the drive to the GOR makes this worthwhile, would recommend this to everyone.

ThailandThe location was incredible! We travelled from Warrnambool along the Great Ocean Highway by car. After a busy day of touring and hiking, when we pulled into the Southern Anchorage Retreat, we were overwhelmed. This is an incredibly beautiful setting with just 2 guest rooms and a couple of cottages. It was dinner time, and there are no restaurants nearby, the owner was going into town and brought us back a pizza! Perfect!

Hi There I was wondering if the 2 bedroom cottage has space for 2 adults and 2 kids (as the 2nd bedroom is listed as a single bed) - is there and option for an extra bed if 4 people are staying. Thanks RoyHi Roy, Anchors is perfect for the family. It's actually set up as 1 king @ 2 singles standard. Sometimes guests request 2 kings and we can do that. 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom- lots of space and great facilities!Answered on September 19, 2021

ok to bring my well behaved 6 month old groodle?? A doggie. Thinking about tomorrow or Tuesday. ThanksHello, Our cottages are perfect for the well trained inside type pet. We don't have our Coastal & Harbour rooms as pet friendly as they're not suitable.Answered on November 28, 2021

Hi, just wondering if you offer a shuttle to the walking track. We will do a 3 day walk so pickup and drop off would be different each day? ThanksWe offer shuttles to many walk companies and also private guests to all the different pick up sites along the GOW. So get back to me on the shuttle and I can offer competitive rates.Answered on January 8, 2021

Hi I am driving from Queensland can you tell me if COVID happens do I lose my money and still have to pay and do I pay on arrival or before thankyouWe've been returning all money for people impacted by local restrictions/lockdowns. Probably one of only a few that do not take any money if Covid Lockdown happens. DrewAnswered on August 15, 2021

Hi there, My soon to be husband and are are looking around for somewhere to stay for a few nights for our honeymoon before we head off to the Gold Coast. We were just enquiring to make sure that this isn't a shared place? do we have the whole place to ourselves? Kind regards, Jessica.Hi Jess, Our 3 cottages are very private and have their own space and everything you need, including heated jacuzzi. As a couple I'd recommend either Fiji or Marie Gabrielle cottages. Our 2 suites share a commercial kitchen so are priced lower.Answered on December 29, 2020
