Wonderful retro beach shack in a great location!
We had a lovely couple of nights at Somers beach house. It's in the best spot, directly across from the beach. Our 5yo son enjoyed exploring the rock pools at low tide. The house is clean, comfortable with a very well stocked kitchen. 2nd toilet was very handy with a group of us. Will be back again for sure!

Verified traveller

.Advertised as having 5 queen beds suitable for 7 adults. Not true. Small single bunk beds. No door
Dissatisfied with bedrooms. Had to source other sleeping arrangements to accommodate 6 adults. One bedroom was a sleep out without a door. One bedroom advertised as 3 queen beds but had 1 small bunk and 1 small single. Misleading and very disappointed.

A Charming Retro Beach House
We were delighted with the property. Great location, comfy beds and a charming interior that harks back to the old Somers beach house that my Dad (80+) recalls. Also lots of options to gather inside / outside, sun / shade, sheltered / breezy.

BOOK IT! DONT HESITATE! :)
My 15 year old daughter, her 3 girlfriends and I booked the Somers Shack for a 3-day get-away from Melbourne. The place was absolutely perfect and I cant rave about it enough! The listing/reviews were spot on! Rob responded to my 3 separate questions extremely quickly, thanks Rob. I'll try and focus on other things that mightn't be in the other reviews. The kitchen has everything you could ever want, the stovetop and oven work beautifully (electric). The property is on a corner block and has a huge front & backyard. There are 3 houses between the Shack and the General Store - perfect location - so the girls could walk up on their own and have lunch or grab a snack. The beach entrance is right across the road from the General Store which is amazing! Rob says in busy times its best to use the entrance about 60m to the right (as you come out of the house turn right). If you want to try your luck seeing the dolphins try 7-730am right near the 'Somers pontoon' - we saw at least 5! The split system heater worked great, we all thought the beds were comfortable, and we absolutely loved the decor and ambience especially the lounge and dining area - fantastic! It's cosy, inviting, full of character...and I'd book it again in a second (and I'm very fussy)!! :) Thanks again Rob, very special place!

Great stay, close to the beach and shop
The house was great for a weekend getaway with the kids. Big back yard and nice cosy house. Would be good for both summer and winter breaks.

Great to come back and experience this location in the winter and enjoy an open fire each evening. A great spell of weather provided opportunities for some great walks.

Robert, our host, was extremely helpful and generous with his time and advice. His property was the perfect beach get away for us and had the added bonus of being opposite the foreshore. We really can't wait to go back . We had a wonderful time there.
