Beautifully and thoughtfully restored historic home, with modern comforts without losing any of the charm of yesteryear. Very comfortable accommodation, warm welcome, lovely outside sitting areas and superfast wi-fi. We would like to have stayed much longer and will definitely return. Well done, Mark, for taking a grand old house and restoring it to its former glory with such a... More

We loved everything about Annersley House. So much so that we have been back again. I would not hesitate to recommend Annersley House to the fussiest of travellers. Free Wi-Fi, on site parking and extra little treats of fine teas, gourmet biscuits and Port and a warm and friendly welcome by the Owner Mark Robinson (and his little dog Syd)... More

Stayed here for three nights of very clean and comfortable accommodation with a first rate welcome from the owner, including complimentary strawberries and a glass of port. The cottage is full of character and well equipped for your stay. Portland itself is a delightful town with outstanding beaches and a beautiful coastline; plenty to see and do both in the... More

We had a nice time in this grand old house. It was very homely and unique and very easy to relax. Not really a hotel more like someones old mansion at the coast. We stayed upstairs with ocean views. Had a chance to look at all the rooms and they were all nice. Rosalie's retreat was our pick or the... More

I chose Annesley House for a quick get away. We stayed in the Wadmore Room (honeymoon suite), it was beautiful. We relaxed in peace and quiet for a 2 night stay, with the esplanade a short stroll away to get dinner. Value for money was exceptional with extra little touches like fresh strawberries from the local strawberry farm and complimentary... More

We had a lovely stay at the Annesley House. We happened upon this purely by chance and only needing a overnight stay and got the last room. It has been renovated beautifully and Mark was helpful, friendly and informative. We will definitely be staying on our next visit.

This area of Australia is very beautiful and the drive along the Great Ocean Road is a wonderful way to see it, all the seaside towns are great but my favorite was Portland which was our first stop along the drive from Adelaide to Melbourne. We stayed at the Annesley House for Christmas and could not have enjoyed it more.... More
