History of the Anchorage

The History is a little sketchy but we are working on finding out more 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,in 1914. 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.
The property has just undergone major renovations including 2 luxurious new ensuite bathrooms, all new carpet, heating and newly painted throughout.
