Wonderful

This townhouse is in a great location so close to the beach, shops and places to eat. Our dog was able to safely run around in the backyard with both dog parks and beaches very close by. We had a great stay.

Thanks i am glad you enjoyed your stay at Strathmore Lodge. Regards Ross
Had a great stay in this older style apartment with our dogs. The yard was fully fenced so the dogs could wander while we enjoyed the view. Handy set of shops across the road and it's only a few minutes walk to Lighthouse Beach. Loved walking the dogs on the beach and we were lucky enough to see dolphins.

Fantastic spot for the family
We had a awesome weekend here with our family. So close to the beach and across the road from shops. The apartment was perfect, clean and quiet and with the soft sound of the ocean coming through the windows, it was such a delight to stay here.

About the host
Hosted by Jeanette Thompson / Ross Thompson
Being able to provide seaside accommodation which enables guests to unwind and enjoy the facilities at Lighthouse Beach is satisfying. Repeat bookings over the years has been positive experience for me,with many folk recommending Strathmore Lodge to family and friends, particularly those who want to bring their family dog.
The many positive reviews of both upper and lower units are testament to the facilities provided for guests to enjoy comfort and cleanliness in a "home away from home". The lower unit being pet friendly allows families to bring their dog.
