Review by hotel critic
Review of Anchorstone - Stewart Island's Hidden GemDuring my recent stay at Anchorstone, I was welcomed to a unique blend of rustic charm and modern convenience that truly reflects a thoughtful approach to luxury versus value. From the moment we arrived, the pickup service from the harbour was seamless, setting the tone for a relaxing getaway. The lodge offers clean, soundproofed rooms equipped with comfortable beds and ample heating, perfect for the cooler season. The kitchenette was well stocked, allowing us to prepare meals while enjoying the serene ocean view from our private terrace. A definite highlight was the grocery shopping service-an excellent value that made settling in much easier. While the property boasts beach access and outdoor dining areas, it was the attentive staff who truly defined our experience. Their willingness to assist, from providing a car for hire to offering local insights, ensured we made the most of our time on the island. For an enriching retreat into nature, Anchorstone provides a balanced mixture of comfort and value. I highly recommend it for families looking to escape their routine while indulging in genuine island beauty.
