Explore the endless bush, bike and running trails that criss-cross the area or enjoy the amazing coastal walk beginning at nearby Tomaree National Park and Barry Park. This is also an excellent vantage point for whale watching during the annual migration or just great for a family BBQ and snorkelling. In the afternoon, the girls can head down for cocktails overlooking stunning Fingal Beach at Saltwater or an early meal with the family at the Fingal Sport and Rec club less than two kilometres away.

The delightful shops of Market Street are just around the corner with a Friendly Grocer, Newsagent, local fuel stop and Cellar Café for something casual or the more formal setting of Saltwater restaurant all close by. A little further down the road is Shoal Bay, with a decent choice of Mediterranean inspired food options or modern pub fare. The kids will love jumping from the jetty here while mum and dad enjoy the local gelato. However you like to spend your time, Ancora is the perfect location to base yourself while you explore this Blue Water paradise.

In Section 2.5.2 of the STR Code of Conduct, guests have an obligation to ensure the peace and comfort of neighbours and other occupants of the premises (if strata) near holiday rental properties.

Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January. The safest way to secure an early check-in or later check-out is to book the property for an extra night. Contact us for a special rate for this extra night. All Sunday late check outs must be requested and approved prior to 5 pm on the Friday evening prior. All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.

Guest Registration: Guest registration is mandatory for all bookings and replaces the need for a cash bond for short term bookings (up to 20 nights). It is essential for fraud prevention, damage claims, safety, and emergency purposes. The process varies depending on the online travel agent used. Direct bookings require the booker to upload a copy of their driver’s licence and credit card through our encrypted online process.

Any extra guests (this includes day visitors) above those that have been booked and paid for must be approved in writing prior to the stay.
