Group Accommodation Port Stephens
Bring your favourite people together on the waterfront at Anchorage Hotel & Spa, a Hamptons-inspired coastal retreat on the marina at Corlette Point. The property overlooks Port Stephens Bay with Corlette Beach a short stroll from your door, and offers the kind of full-service group accommodation in Port Stephens where every detail is taken care of, from award-winning dining and two swimming pools to Spa Lucca day spa and daily housekeeping.
With waterfront rooms, split-level lofts, one-bedroom suites and a freestanding two-bedroom villa, your group can choose the room types that suit each guest while staying together in one location. Anchorage is 2.5 hours north of Sydney, close enough for a long weekend and relaxed enough to feel properly away.
A waterfront resort for your whole group
Anchorage Hotel & Spa keeps your entire group in one waterfront location with on-site dining, spa, pools and experiences all within reach. There’s room to be together and room to spread out, with a mix of accommodation types that lets couples, families and friends each book what suits them.
Mornings might start with complimentary weekend yoga, followed by a sparkling wine breakfast at The Galley Kitchen. Afternoons unfold by the pool with private cabanas and marina views, or with a treatment at Spa Lucca. In the evening, the group can come together for dinner and drinks at Moby’s Bar, with its nautical interiors and views down the bay.
The property is listed in Australian Traveller’s 100 greatest getaways, and the Hamptons-style design gives every shared space a refined coastal feel, from the fireside lounges to the French doors that open onto water views.
