We find most of the information above to be ridiculously tongue in cheek comments but would like to comment on the Air conditioning charge and the Austar remote The reason we keep the air conditioning cost separate to the tariff is many people who stay here prefer not to have air conditioning as all our apartments have ceiling fans.

We stayed here after a last minute change in our holiday plans over the long weekend during the terrible storm. Erika was so accommodating and offered us a great apartment. Rates were very affordable. Apartments were clean and modern. We were very happy here and would definitely stay again. Fantastic location!!!! Loved the pool and spa!!!!

Did not like it on arrival - the good reviews and cool pictures on the web made us expect something more glamorous and shiny. It's not - it's rather average, now new and quite basic, but the location is perfect - just minutes’ walk to the centre of Surfers. It is on the side street so the noise is limited... More

Stayed here at Anchor Down over Easter 2012. Had a great time, & I'd highly recommend it. Location is great so close to central Surfers, the owners were great & very accomodating, the unit was excellent, & the facilities were good. I honestly can't think of a bad thing to say for our stay.
