Five-star luxury resort The Anchorage, set on the idyllic waters of Port Stephens in New South Wales, is set to relaunch this month after an 18-month, multi-million-dollar renovation, modernising it into the ultimate incentives and corporate retreat.
The update took place after The Wests Group acquired the 25-year-old property, previously Peppers Anchorage Port Stephens, commencing a thoughtfully-planned, total refurbishment of all existing accommodation and public spaces, as well as the addition of a myriad of new, luxury facilities.

Majestically positioned where the Pacific Ocean meets the Great Southern Land, The Anchorage is one of Australia’s most inspirational seaside destinations, with eight individual Hamptons’ style structures sitting perfectly between the cliffside and the ocean.
Conveniently located just 2.5 hours north of Sydney and 30 minutes from Newcastle Airport, the hotel and spa offers relaxed waterfront accommodation, beautiful dining, leisure, and conference spaces.
For the renovation, The Wests Group collaborated with Andrew O’Connell of renowned firm Altis Architecture, creating a space that embraces the United States’ East Coast Hamptons aesthetic, injecting the property with a neutral palette, complemented by water-worn blues and teals, with hints of rich timber and warm stone textures throughout.
Among the property’s newly-added world-class facilities include iconic restaurants The Wild Herring and The Galley Kitchen with alfresco and indoor dining; Hemingway’s Bar showcasing some of the world’s rarest and unusual whiskies with tasting experiences available; tranquil retreat Spa Lucca with luxury treatments, international products, spa, and steam facilities; two pools including an adults-only infinity pool; and fitness centre with what is probably the world’s best view to work out to.
