Fantastic holiday house and the perfect place for a family reunion! The spacious layout and multiple bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, made it ideal for a large family gathering. Everyone had their own space and privacy while still being able to enjoy time together. A great setup for bringing the whole family together and making wonderful memories. Would happily stay again and highly recommend!

Anchorage Waters is a fantastic venue for hosting large group holidays. We recently stayed there for our mother’s 80th birthday with three family groups coming together from across the globe. The home is spacious and luxurious with everything we needed. Jenn is a friendly and very responsive host. The family enjoyed the spa and fishing from the jetty. The property is in easy walking distance to the beach, shops and public transport.I highly recommend Anchorage Waters as a holiday stay and hope to return one day.

What a wonderful week! Jenn is an amazing host and her lovely house was just perfect for our extended family stay. It easily accommodated our family of 14 , an ensuite with every bedroom was a great plus and the location couldn’t be better. Only a block or two to bustling Cavill avenue with its eateries or the Tram which is super convenient when you have tired toddlers. Close to the beach and all the thoughtful extras like the fishing rods and the kayaks at the house made for non stop fun. Our budding pool sharks loved the pool table too.
