History of the Anchorage

The History is a little sketchy but we are working on finding out more accurate details.

The Anchorage was originally built as a mine managers residence in the nearby town of Zeehan, around 1896. It was then purchased by the Mount Lyell Mining Co and moved to Queenstown via train, down to Strahan then up to Queenstown on the Abt Railway, sometime prior to World War II. It then became a boarding house for mine workers for many years before becoming a private family home again.

We purchased the property in July 2007 and opened as a B&B in December that year. We have plans in place for more ensuite bathrooms in the future and an onsite cafe where guests can enjoy breakfasts and evening meals.

So keep an eye on our website for updates and come and visit us on the stunning West Coast.
