For many, Melbourne Cup Day means a day off work to join in the festivities even if you’re not a Melbournian graced with the benefit of a public holiday. So this year why not grab your fillies or your fella and flee the city for a 24 hour Melbourne Cup Day – Play and Stay at The Anchorage Port Stephens.

Just over two hours’ drive from Sydney, your mind couldn’t be further from work as you ease into the plush newly refurbished sea-side retreat that is The Anchorage Port Stephens, hotel and spa. Be dazzled by the glitz and glamour of this Hamptons-luxe oasis, and you’ll wonder why you’ve not been before.

We’ll welcome you with premium Australian Sparkling wine that will flow free for three hours, and an oyster tower featuring the best Sydney Rocks nurtured by the pristine waters of Port Stephens. And if sumptuous share plates of local seafood and antipasto, a choice of mouth-watering mains, and decadent dessert boards were not enough, there’s free flowing bubbles to top it all off.

You’ll feel like you’re track-side at Flemington when the race hits the big screen, only you’ll be in your own sea-side oasis, The Anchorage.  Box yourself a trifecta or take a punt on the special Anchorage-style sweepstakes, but there’s no surer bet than it being a fabulous day out.

You’ll be wishing you were staying a week not a night, with our fabulous stay and play package this Melbourne Cup, especially when you’ll have spent little more than a city cup lunch. And there will be no Uber required.
