What a team!

Reviewed By 335bernadetted

What a team! I've been out of the water for 3-ish yrs due to health/COVID, and both wanted to dive again and was anxious +++++++++++++. I've always had positive experiences with Manta Lodge in the past, so naturally booked my refresher and dives with them. My day was amazing, thanks to the fun, professional, fantastic team. My refresher course instructor Bruna was so clear and thorough and encouraging. After the refresher, I was still ambivalent about diving again, as it was pretty windy on shore. However, the team were all so supportive and encouraging; the pre-dive briefing was made so fun by James that it was relaxing. Bruna continued to be present and grounding, while it was clear that the decision to dive or not was mine alone. The dives were so great! Lots of variety of fish, gorgeous colours; octopus, eels, sharks, wobegongs. Fantastic day out, and I will definitely dive with Manta Lodge again. Thanks team!

Beautiful cabin accomodation. Lovely, clean and pups allowed. Bandicoots, Koalas and all sorts live in the trees. Can't wait to come back. Great view from the kitchen. Kids loved it. We were stranded after being blown off main beach by the wind and sand. Awesome place.

Anchorage on Straddie Beachfront Island Resort

True beachfront resort revitalised in recent years. A popular repeat guest destination with no roads between you and the beach. Units are as small as Studios for a couple up to 2 bedroom for families.

Great spot, great friendly service, excellent amenities, clean rooms.

Reviewed By I6336WSgarym

Our first trip to Straddie and we were very happy that we chose Anchorage on Straddie. Beach front location is a gem. Great central location. Excellent for couples or families. Stan's Chicken Bar next door definitely worth a visit as is the Bowling Club a 4 minute stroll away.

We stayed in unit 3 at Samarinda Jewel by the sea, for 3 days and 2 nights. It was beautiful! The apartment was lovely, so colourful with a happy holiday vibe! Everything was clean & the view out over the ocean was gorgeous! We walked to get breakfast and went on the North Gorge walk, which were an easy walking distance from the apartment. Angela was great and helped us out in any way possible. It was a perfect spot for a relaxing, chilled out getaway. Nancy & Jenny.

Disappointed and not worth the money.

Reviewed By lynneller2016

We had a the penthouse and it had great views however, it was not what you would expect for a penthouse. The living area is not roomy - okay for a couple but if a family stayed here, it would be cramped. The balcony is small. It is in no way luxurious or stylish as you would expect for penthouse status. It is really a 3 bedroom unit with ocean views. It is a short, easy walk to a coffee/food. We were advised at time of booking that the unit had not been refurbished. It is in fact way overdue for refurbishment. Window glass had come away from the frame and given the residue of tape still on the window, I guess it has been like this for some time. The sliding door hardware is very corroded. While the ensuite bathroom is roomy and has a large bench, the spout over the bath has had a dodgy repair and looks as though if used, it would burst off. Living area- the curtain rail above the sliding door has been removed and left with two big holes where the rail supports were once located. The living/dining room windows had not been cleaned for some time and there is a balcony on the outside so these can easily be accessed for cleaning. The dvd player is stuffed in a drawer and not connected. The remote for the stereo system has corroded batteries and is unusable. The dining room chairs are plastic and extremely uncomfortable and dont expect a coordinated approach to furnishings. Main Bedroom isn't a bad size and has air con. The other bedrooms only have fans. The TV in the main bedroom is tiny and in a weord position. Definately not worth the hefty price tag for 1 bedroom penthouse.

The Islander Holiday Resort

Beautiful property and gardens and beach is across the road. Large spacious apartments.

Reviewed By Maggi C

Our apartment was on the third floor with a great view over the swimming pool. The three flight up carpeted steps was actually quite easy with resting windows on each landing and solid handrails. The local bus top is virtually opposite and the beach was just across the road. The master bedroom opened to a large verandah, and the second room had bunks and a single bed, which was my sleeping place. There was plenty of linen and the kitchen was well equipped with a dishwasher and all gadgets. I appreciated having a good shower and a washing machine and dryer and the manager was friendly and approachable.
