LOCATION

Corlette Beach is the best sandy beach in Port Stephens. And it is only 2 1/2 kilometres from Nelson Bay but still far enough away from the commerce and holiday crowds to relax and unwind.

Corlette Point Road is a quiet No-Through road that runs for 200 metres behind the beach down to Corlette Headland Reserve and Peppers Anchorage Resort & Marina. It is generally considered to be the most desirable address in Port Stephens.

It takes about 1-minute to walk from The Anchor Light to Corlette Beach, 3-minutes to Peppers and about 45-minutes to walk along The Waterfront Path to Nelson Bay.

Corlette Beach is a 35-minute drive from Newcastle Airport and a 2 1/2 hour drive north of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

OTHER

The Anchor Light is built on a level site and there are only two steps and no steep hills to climb. And our northerly orientation ensures that we receive plenty of sunshine during the cooler months - A great time for a whale-watch cruise or to explore the nearby Hunter Wine Region.

Off-street parking is available and the surrounding garden wall provides privacy for our guests and their vehicles. And the masonry construction of The Anchor Light helps ensure that our guests enjoy both peace AND quiet.
