What guests think

Anchorage Motor Lodge draws praise for its waterfront location near the marina and restaurants, spacious rooms with comfortable beds and views, easy onsite parking, and friendly staff, though several reviews note recurring noise from thin walls and upstairs units.

Housekeeping is often praised as clean, though a few guests reported dated furnishings or occasional lapses. Many units include spa baths, and while appreciated, some mentioned nonworking jets or missing towels, and on-site dining was closed or limited on certain days. Overall, expect a convenient base by the water with comfort prioritized over quiet.

Nice, clean and spacious property with the view of the marine right across the road. Walking distance to a few restaurants. City centre is a few minutes drive. Parking onsite is easy too. Can't really fault it. Enjoyed our time staying at the Anchorage.

I stayed here during really hot weather so I appreciated the awesome air conditioning. My room had a spa bath which was also awesome. The bed was comfortable and the Wifi was fast. There were lots of restaurants within walking distance and it was nice to look out the room window and see the marina. I was too scared to make toast because there was a sign next to the toaster that said it could set off the fire alarm and then I would have to pay $NZ500!

Property is at a good location with a few restaurants in walking distances. Unfortunately the room was quite dated and the toilet had foreign material that hadn’t been cleaned prior to check in. Additionally the shower had dirt on the walls. Probably wouldn’t stay here again but ok for one night.

Cons: Low acoustic rating between units meant that we could hear snoring amongst other things through the walls. The condition of the unit was definitely worn. Smoking was allowed outside the units which meant we could open our window. Pros: Walking distance to local restaurants, good parking.

Comfortable beds & a spa bath & plates utensils etc. A 4 Square store (NZ version of a mini supermarket or 7/11) less than 2 kms away which also stocked wine & beer. Lots of cafes & restaurants close by. Would I stay here again? Yes, thank for making our stay enjoyable & giving our friends arriving the next day an early check in.. appreciated by all.

Fabulous having the spa queen with sea view as it felt so restful. Sadly people returning late on Saturday night with raucous chatting and a distressed woman whose date didn't turn out so well woke us up. Really nice to have plunger coffee although sadly ran out of green tea and there were none to be had in the entire motel when I asked for a swap with the lemon tea which was supplied to our unit in abundance. Very close to Shed 2 a gastropub that out performed the gastropub we visited recently in Waikanae. Shed 2 has amazing food and the prices are reasonable.
