The hotel was great except it is advertised as having air conditioning while only some rooms have a/c. Unbeknownst to us on booking, was not one of them and it was 97 degrees so we were unable to sleep. This is the 1st thing I check on all hotels before I book -air con & bathroom so I was quite unpleasantly surprised and I was not the only guest to feel this way

Great location, enjoyable stay, a little tired
Posted 13 Feb 2024 on HotelsClassic hotel in an excellent location in Victor Harbor we were very happy with our stay. We’d booked a room with air conditioning but in the event it was quite cool and we didn’t have occasion to test it.
The room was spacious but quirky, with a windowless annex with a single bed in it. Soundproofing wasn’t great, hearing that conversations were going on in a neighbouring room, however the night was quiet and problem free.
The Anchorage is a period hotel and there were a number of areas where updating / redecoration would be beneficial. We were not bothered by this, appreciating the “character” but it is something to be aware of.
We did wonder whether its days as a hotel might be numbered because there were a number of images on display showing a large modern multi-storey block alongside the original building, probably replacing the current newer wing and the car park - but we didn’t ask so don’t know.
Regardless, we would be happy to stay again and if that slightly careworn period character is OK for you then go for it.
As an aside we had dinner in the attached cafe/bar at the back. Very good and definitely recommended.
