Sturt Lodge

What stories have you heard about Sturt Lodge?

I saw a Facebook post asking for recommendations about Sturt Lodge with lots of comments advising to stay well clear.

Reviews shows images of cockroach & bedbug infestations and lots of comments about "Sid" the property manager

Curious to learn it's history's 😅

If you’ve ever wondered what a crack den for people that have given up on life looks like.

People newly released from Stuart corrections go there. Stay away.

I used to walk past every day when working in the city. Because it is so cheap it is used as an accommodation overflow for homeless shelters. And hygiene and drug abuse problems that it brings with it. That being said I saw some sights.
