She's an old school motel... Could do with some updating... But: Bed was comfy, room was clean. Nice large room Easy check in & check out. Shower pressure was great! I would recommend asking for a room that does not have access to the street, there is no privacy if you want to open the door to let some air in or light and we were in room 12, right next to the kitchen & right next door to the Sunday morning diners having their breakfast which affected our sleep in a little bit. Didn't try their cafe as we had found Mother Duck the day before prior to check in & it was sensational, so we went back for breakfast after checking out. Hubby also loved the bakery next door and got a couple of things to take home.

Room and bathroom were clean, bed was comfortable. It had crockery, cutlery and microwave as promised. Fridge. We only needed a place to sleep and shower. Had breakfast one morning, bowls easy to clean in bathroom hand basin, although it is small. Lots of hot water in the shower. It's well located, away from main road but convenient to Victor and Port Elliot. Good blinds and curtains to block out early morning light. Suited out purpose perfectly. Toilet paper a plenty!

The location of the hotel is good, there is a large supermarket in front of the hotel on foot. There is a pool for swimming, good service attitude, spa triple room, a large bed and a small bed are quite large.

Classic hotel in an excellent location in Victor Harbor we were very happy with our stay. We’d booked a room with air conditioning but in the event it was quite cool and we didn’t have occasion to test it. The room was spacious but quirky, with a windowless annex with a single bed in it. Soundproofing wasn’t great, hearing that conversations were going on in a neighbouring room, however the night was quiet and problem free. The Anchorage is a period hotel and there were a number of areas where updating / redecoration would be beneficial. We were not bothered by this, appreciating the “character” but it is something to be aware of. We did wonder whether its days as a hotel might be numbered because there were a number of images on display showing a large modern multi-storey block alongside the original building, probably replacing the current newer wing and the car park - but we didn’t ask so don’t know. Regardless, we would be happy to stay again and if that slightly careworn period character is OK for you then go for it. As an aside we had dinner in the attached cafe/bar at the back. Very good and definitely recommended.

Hotel location is very good, you can see the trestle. After a few minutes, the front desk was very friendly and very welcoming. The restaurant on the first floor was a good business, and it looked very lively and didn't have time to eat. The hotel is less than 10 minutes walk from the supermarket. Port Witt is a good stopover for the night before going to Kangaroo Island, and it takes 45 minutes to drive to the port. Very laid back, quiet town.

Simple and clean. Parking in the yard.
