The Story Behind the Name

The name Strathearn Park Lodge is derived from the history of the region. The name ‘Scone’ for the fledgling township, and ‘Parish of Strathearn’ for the district, were gazetted in 1837 after a petition by settler Hugh Cameron, one of many Scottish settlers to the area. Cameron was a native of Strath Earn in Scotland, named for the valley (strath) of the River Earn. Scone is named for the ancient coronation place of the kings of Scotland.

Hugh Cameron’s property was just across the highway from where Strathearn Park Lodge has been built.

Today, the town of Scone is the essence of rural life and is known for its famous thoroughbred horse studs and related activities including rodeos, polo, and camp drafts, plus world class vineyards and stunning scenery.

Our Story

Strathearn Park Lodge was designed and built in the 90s as Lyn and Peter’s future retirement plan. The Lodge is the culmination of years of research and a dream come true. The couple utilised their travels for research – measuring and photographing different design aspects, speaking to both guests and operators, and pasting photos into reference albums.

What would we do differently? We should have semi-retired earlier! We hope that when you stay with us you will appreciate our research and the purposeful design for relaxation, peace and tranquillity.

Lyn & Peter Hale

It’s the little things …

Spas with a natural view, with sides wide enough for a cheese platter and champagne bucket. And easy to get in to! Secluded verandahs and gardens for each room to give guests complete privacy. A small dining table for in-room meals. A log fire, a proper kettle … The aim was always to create a purpose-built place where people could come and totally relax in the shortest time possible, and that is probably the most common comment from guests. The kilometre-long country driveway, arrival at the lodge, and the walk into the spacious rooms all create a feeling of relaxation that is just “heaven”. And for business travellers to the region, the usual feedback is that the suites give them the room to work and relax, and they often get more done at the lodge than at the office. Onsite managers operated Strathearn Park Lodge until 2009 when Lyn and Peter took over operation in their semi-retirement.
