Fantastic home
So comfortable. Plenty of room for all of us. Clean and pet friendly. Kitchen had everything to prepare and serve. Party area out back with bbq boombox and lovely comfortable dining table/chairs and wicker lounge. The laundry was perfect complete with dryer. We the family will definitely be rebooking. So much better than camping. Thank you Steve. Well done

Great place for family get together
We were very happy with the location, so close to the Dam. We had plenty of room for our two families, 10 people in total. Check in was easy, the bird life and koala spotting was a highlight. We look forward to staying there again.

Family stay for wedding
There were 11 of us staying so the deck was the main area to get together and relax. Very comfortable. It is a very comfortable basic house with nearly everything you needed. Maybe some bowls for salads and chips and some serving plates for platters would be something that could be supplied and some hanging hooks in 2 of the bedrooms. The hot water system did well and didnt run out. Great having the 2 toilets. Enough plates, cups, glasses. Note that you cannot park on the driveway in front of the garages, would be good to have that noted in the description. Close to Coronation Hall. Recommend a stay here.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Yates

Host profile image
Passionate about the water and the town of Somerset, my family has a long history with the town with my parents having various properties over the years from the late 60's through to the late 80's. Both were skiers and dad was a championship barefooter in his day.

As kids we spent nearly every second weekend in Somerset and I have so many fond memories growing up in the town that it felt only natural for me to return and buy my own place. I now get to share the opportunity for other people and families to make their own memories by making the property available for holiday rentals.

I truly hope you enjoy your stay!
