"Lyn was very welcoming on arrival and extremely helpful and informative. Our room was great, absolutely spotless, modern, and had everything we needed. The view out to the beach and mountains was spectacular and it is also a handy location for a stroll into town"
- Tynie"Absolutely loved our stay at the Anchor Inn. Lyn was so helpful she made us a reservation for dinner at the fabulous Pier Hotel. Stunning sea and mountain views. Loved watching the beautiful sunrise each morning on the beach literally across the road. Lovely bottle of wine and chocolates for a special celebration added an extra special touch. Room was spacious and very clean with gorgeous views. A wonderful relaxing weekend away combined with an amazing trip Whale Watching and walking the Peninsula walk .Will definitely be back to stay."
- Janine"It was great to finally find a place (at the spur of the moment) that was clean, modern, warm and comfortable. Lyn went out of her way to ensure our stay was a good one. The beach is just across the road and it is a relaxing stroll into town or to the Pier Hotel for a fabulous feed of Fish and Chip."
- Ian"The room was very clean and had everything we needed. It was great to just cross the road and be by the sea. The service was very friendly and we enjoyed the buy one pay half for the second at poppies for breakfast."
- Jay"We were welcomed by Lyn who went out of her way to make our stay a great one. We had an ocean-view room with everything you want. She also recommended a place to eat and made the booking for us. It's an excellent location and very good value-for-money. We will return!"
- Carolina"We stayed for two nights during a tiki-tour around the South Island. The rooms were modern, clean and very comfortable and the view- spectacular. Open the curtains to look out to sea and mountains. Located an easy 15 min walk into town meant it was quiet but still close enough we could leave the car behind. Highly recommend."
- Nick"We stayed one night at Anchor Inn. The view was fantastic out to sea with the water straight across the road. The service was second to none. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Room was great. Huge, heaps of amenities including spa bath. Wished we could have stayed longer."
