The Portrush Townhouse
A central part of the Portrush community for many years, Portrush Townhouse was acquired as part of The Surf Project in Summer 2020. Portrush Townhouse has a longstanding relationship with the Project; years of surf residentials and school retreats have taken place here. Our Manager even recalls dancing through the hallways in her wedding dress for an excited group of teenagers staying on a residential weekend.
As a registered charity Portrush Townhouse exists to give back, offering a safe space to anchor down through the storms of life. Whether you’re an adventure seeker on a Surf & Stay experience, a family in need of a home from home hideaway or a wayfaring stranger in search of a bed, we have space for you.
Our spaces are created with community in mind with each piece of furniture and décor bought from local creators, handmade by staff and interns or gifted by friendly North Coast Neighbours. Our hope is that you feel welcome, safe and at home in every space here.
We offer tailored package weekends, safe spaces to share and socialise, internet access, private bedrooms as well as self-catering units, discounts at locally owned businesses and eateries and great craic.
Portrush Townhouse - a great place to anchor down!
