Anson Bay Lodge: The Quiet Side of A Norfolk Island Retreat

For travellers seeking a self-paced island experience away from Burnt Pine’s hubbub of activities, the Anson Bay Lodge offers a comfortable and practical base. This lodge is a highly appealing, self-catering choice set amidst rural gardens and tall Norfolk Pines. It provides a restful and refreshing alternative for those who wish to spend their days exploring the island’s natural beauty and return to quiet comfort each evening.

Location: Rural Charm and Scenic Backdrops

Anson Bay Lodge is purposefully situated on 1.5 acres of picturesque rural land. This setting provides a unique backdrop of gardens, fruit trees, and views towards the highest points of the island, Mount Bates and Mount Pitt. While it offers seclusion, it remains accessible, located only a meandering, picturesque 10-minute drive (approx. 7km) from both the airport and the commercial centre of Burnt Pine.

Accommodation: Space and Comfort for Every Group

The lodge specialises in spacious, self-contained living, offering 1-bedroom cottages like the Mountain View Cabin, ideal for couples seeking an intimate, secluded stay. On the other hand, larger accommodations like the 2-bedroom unit are available for families or small groups (up to 5 guests), providing ample space and multiple bedding configurations.

Each unit is fully self-contained, featuring equipped kitchens (with stove, oven, microwave, and fridge), a dining area, and private verandas. This allows for complete flexibility in dining, supported by shared laundry facilities for extended stays.

Activities on Your Doorstep: The Northern Explorer

• Anson Bay Beach: Known for its stunning scenery, this secluded beach is perfect for walks, picnics, and watching the sunset (swimming is not generally advised due to strong currents).
• Captain Cook Lookout: Only a short drive away, this lookout provides spectacular coastal views and is a great starting point for local walks.
• Norfolk Island National Park: The lodge offers close proximity to entry points for the National Park’s network of walking tracks, such as the Bridle Track, which is ideal for nature lovers and birdwatchers.
