Discover Stratham

Stratham lies between the towns of Bunbury and Busselton. This location places the town within the region; when choosing the purpose of your trip, local themes are also important. The landscape includes open farmland, old tuart forests, preserved historic sites and expansive beaches. There are also a range of activities to focus on: golf, coastal activities, and walking and cycling trails. Depending on which of these appeals to you, Stratham can give your trip a different focus. The town can therefore be combined with a specific sporting interest as well as with nature, the coast or local history.

Golf at the heart of it

Capel Golf Club has an 18-hole championship golf course and a covered driving range with ten floodlit hitting bays. The two facilities suit different golf plans: you can plan a round on the championship course, while the range offers a separate area for practice. Green-fee players and groups are welcome. The figures given also answer different questions: 18 holes describe the size of the course, while ten hitting bays indicate the size of the range. The cover and lighting apply to the range, not the championship course. This means you can include the course and practice facilities as two specific parts of the golf offering in your travel plans.

Coast, trails and nature

Four-wheel driving along the coast is possible; horses are allowed at Stratham/Minninup Beach at any time of day. These activities have different points of reference: a named beach and the coast. Stratham is also surrounded by a network of walking and cycling trails, and there are opportunities to explore Tuart Forest. This means that, in addition to the two coastal activities, trails and forest are also available as distinct ways to experience nature. In planning your trip, you can decide whether to focus on an activity along the coast or instead on walking and cycling trails or exploring Tuart Forest.

Stratham Park and local history

Stratham Park is one historic local landmark. In 1850, John Scott and Catherine built a wattle-and-daub cottage and named the property after their family home in Scotland. The year, construction method and origin of the name each tell a different part of the story: 1850 marks when it was built, wattle and daub describes the construction method, and the name Stratham Park refers to the family home in Scotland. This story adds a specific historical aspect to the nature and sporting themes.

Find a hotel to suit the purpose of your trip

When looking for a hotel in Stratham, it is best to start with the purpose of your stay. Decide whether golf, nature, the coast or history will be the deciding factor for your trip. Use Stratham as your destination and then compare specific hotels based on their listed locations and the services actually stated. Information about the town can help you choose the focus of your trip; it does not replace checking the details of each individual property. This way, you can separate the choice of destination from the selection of a specific place to stay.
