Our family highly enjoyed our stay here. The owner that we spoke to is a character and was very helpful, not to mention patient with the children. Our room was extremely clean. The view was indescribably beautiful. We felt lucky to have found such a beautiful place for such a reasonable price.

we had a really nice, quiet, large room, very comfy. My only criticism would be the couch, its a foldaway and was really uncomfortable to sit on, but not a deal breaker, I'd definitely come here again

Our stay at The Anchor Inn was truly memorable, thanks to Jef’s outstanding hospitality. When I had unexpected car trouble, while travelling with my two children, Jef went out of his way to help us. His kindness and genuine care turned a stressful situation into a manageable one. He was warm, welcoming and incredibly helpful. The rooms were spotless, beautifully maintained and the beds were comfy. Thank you Jef- you went above and beyond. We’re so grateful and won’t forget your kindness!

This super pet-friendly motel deserves ten gold stars! The awesome new owners instantly made us feel right at home, and what a perfect location! Our large studio unit enjoyed uninterrupted ocean views with a lovely patio, and we woke up to the most fabulous sun-rise. Silent at night except for the sound of gentle rolling waves, just a 10 minute stroll along the beach you will reach cafes, restaurants, bars and all the special attractions on offer like whale and dolphin watching. In the other direction it’s just a 5 minute drive to see the seals at Fyffe Quay and walk the peninsula. Facilities-wise these guys have thought of everything, we even had a full length mirror and a large vanity for our toilet bags which is so often lacking elsewhere. We’ll be back soon!
