Anchorage Holiday Units

What guests think

Anchorage Holiday Units is an older, budget-friendly set of self-contained units in a very convenient, walkable spot, with many guests praising clean, quiet stays, friendly communication from Paul, and solid value, while noting dated interiors and basic amenities.

A recurring complaint is inconsistent hot water, with showers sometimes turning cold mid-use. Facilities are limited or variable, with tight undercover parking and reports of closed or unkempt pool, BBQ and laundry areas, though some travelers appreciated pet-friendly policies. Units are spacious enough and simple, with reliable Wi-Fi and generally comfortable beds, though furnishings can feel worn. Best for short stays where convenience matters more than modern features or extensive amenities.

The accommodation was comfortable. The owners charge $20.00 per night for the pet. We had seven nights and paid $140.00 But the carpets in the two rooms were unclean and many stains from the previous tenets all up. If they charge for the pets stay. Then they must have the carpets cleaned for the next stay. Also, the advertise facilities were not available. The pool is closed, the bar b q area closed very untidy and dirty. Also the laundry closed. Not good

The beds were comfortable, but the place needed maintenance and upgrading. The water took a very long time to heat up, then went cold again after a few minutes. No tea towels or bench cloths were provided and the towels needed replacing, as they weren't absorbent. With the car parking space, it was difficult to open the apartment door with the vehicle being right there. It was in a convenient location and the internet was good.

The location of the property was very convenient to beach and shops however the property itself was disappointing. The blind outside the bedroom kept breaking in the wind therefore we could not sleep and couldn't get hold of owners to fix until the next day. The linen was also old and some pillow slips were dirty. There was also no dryer to use in the laundry which is annoying when you have wet towels from the beach that you can't dry. The layout of the units were not great either having to walk through the kids bedroom to get to the bathroom.

Bed was very uncomfortable, couldnt sleep because of the springs digging in. Could hear every noise. Charged extra for pets when I'd already booked it as pet friendly. Worker came banging on my door and yelled at me because the extra charge wasnt going through. Stains all over the carpets, dripping taps, tiny patch of grass for pets. Do not recommend.

This property is old and run down with basic amenities that are not justified for over $200 per night . Holiday season I suppose they can charge excessive rates. Pool is small and basic, playground consists of 1 slide.

So sorry. But we would advise against this place and it's the first time in our history of travelling to do so. This is more like an old rustic camping cabin (original ... feels like the 70s). There were adequate kitchen supplies and it does sleep up to 5 but the sheets and towels were old and had odours. Given the choice we would have paid a bit more to stay in much nicer accommodation.

This spotlessly clean unit had comfortable beds, lots of space, was very quiet, was close to The Esplanade and Beach and to the shops. Foodland was opposite it. It was also very pet friendly. The owners were warm and welcoming and to my surprise gave us two gifts of freshly caught fish - greatly appreciated!

reminded me of the 1950's, apart from the renovated bathroom. Cute, but maybe younger people would not appreciate this! Considering it was about the cheapest in Lakes Entrance, you cannot expect modern luxury.

It’s an old place needs maintenance inside, some painting and replacement of power points. Looks like bore water is used as the cold water in the hand basin comes out dirty also around the tap spinal lot of muck flowing out. It’s a cheap accommodation and maybe if you ring them you might get a better price than advertised. The cabin I was in sleeps 5 people , sheets and towels etc changed every 7-9 days. Under cover parking is a bit of a squeeze and long as you don’t have anything sitting on your roof you should be able to get in alright. It’s completely contactless and the cabin is open with keys in ready for you to move in. Don’t see the owner very often and always get a wave when I see him, there’s 8 cabins, bbq area , laundry and toilets, a swimming pool. Depending on the time of the year there can be a very cheap compaired to others in the same area. Don’t expect anything fancy,
