- Roxann (2/5): This was the worst experience I’ve had with a rental. - Nice bakery across the street. Pretty clean inside. Ross,the property manager had our belongings moved out of the apartment to the garage on the second day of our stay even though we paid for two nights. They put everything in garbage bags and left it without telling us. He said it was a misunderstanding. He is not close by and was a very little help. We thought everything had been stolen until we found them. Ross showed a total lack of concern for the situation.

The view from the balcony over the ocean was beautiful and very relaxing and the owner's communication prior to check in and during my stay was pro-active and very friendly. My furry friend and I will definitely come back and stay again. Thank you.
- Dianne (8/5): Very comfortable with everything you need at your fingertips - Clean , views , gardens , close to beach and amenities eg., shops , restaurants
- Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lindsay (7/5): Good - Host was very communicative. Also while this was a bit aways from the main area of town, it was very close to Lighthouse beach and right across the street from a cute shopping center that had a lovely cafe for breakfast, bottle shot and convenience store so that was all very nice to have right there. The place is not sound proof at all, you could hear absolutely everything from the unit next door and the ones above.
Also the place was very outdated and old furniture, but it worked for a cozy beach spot for a few nights.
Also we had no toilet paper in the unit, but the host was very responsive and brought some over very quickly upon letting him know.
- Robert (9/5): Thankyou for accommodating pets - the apartment suited our needs perfectly. -

Balcony is great.
- Benford (8/5): Very good -
- Linda (10/5): We came up from Sydney for a Memorial, despite the sadness we felt comfortable and at home at Strathmore Lodge. - Location and it felt like a home rather than a hotel or motel room. Beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed and it was also quiet, which we really enjoyed. It didn’t have any instant coffee yet it had tea bags and little milk cartons in the fridge. Perhaps it was just missed but next time, I will bring some just in case.
- Michelle (10/5): Great Little Getaway Spot - Amazing location, tucked away in a quiet street, shops across the street including eateries and beach at the end of the street, couldn't have asked for more.
