Ideal for a family holiday. It is located in a very quiet area, near the Koala Reserve and a short walk to the beach. Our favourite part of the house is the garden and covered outdoor living area, with open fireplace, lounge seating and dining table. This is where we live, eat and entertain for most of the year. There is also an outside shower (with hot water) for cleaning off after the beach and private 2-3 person Finnish sauna. The spring free trampoline and swing set will keep younger kids entertained. There is a spacious lounge and the kitchen is well equipped with everything you need for holiday living and more (except a microwave). Coffee lovers will appreciate the coffee machine, although we can also highly recommend the Somers General Store. The living area is air conditioned and has a Smart TV (Netflix, Apple TV, Disney Plus and Amazon Prime available). Super fast (starlink) internet is available. The main bedroom is air conditioned and has a queen bed. The second bedroom is also air conditioned with a king single bed and single bed. The third room is a multi-purpose room - it has a queen size wall bed which folds down over a couch, with a very comfortable memory foam mattress. It can be closed off for use as a bedroom or as a second living/play area with double doors that open to the main living area. The main bathroom is newly renovated (with shower, vanity and toilet). A second bathroom/laundry has a washing machine, shower and toilet. Our house is comfortable and relaxing, a bit retro, partially renovated but not pristine. We also have 6 bantam chickens who will hopefully provide you with some delicious (if small) eggs. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Memory foam mattress ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Netflix - Smart TV - Streaming services ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Electric car charging station - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88650000/88642000/88641973/03605091.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tasman Serenity in Somers Walk to the beach Somers - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=88641973&PinnedHotelID=88641973&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90010000/90010000/90009984/754e9179.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Balnarring Beach Retreat Balnarring Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning - Outdoor Space 9.0 Wonderful 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=90009984&PinnedHotelID=90009984&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115990000/115983500/115983432/8677fc26.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sky Views by Property Mums Somers - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=115983432&PinnedHotelID=115983432&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118590000/118583300/118583287/ac8141a9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Perfect position in Somers - 150m to beach and 3 minutes walk from cafe Somers - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=118583287&PinnedHotelID=118583287&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117830000/117822700/117822664/7cfb5f69.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Absolutely Beautiful Balnarring Family Home for 7 Balnarring - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-06&endDate=2026-01-07&selected=117822664&PinnedHotelID=117822664&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 2:00 PM Contactless check-in available ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM Contactless check-out available ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know Extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy Government-issued photo identification and a credit card, debit card, or cash deposit may be required at check-in for incidental charges Special requests are subject to availability upon check-in and may incur additional charges; special requests cannot be guaranteed Onsite parties or group events are strictly prohibited Host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector with you on the trip Host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property This property is managed through our partner, Vrbo.

Extremely comfortable and well equipped with everything Totally amazing would rent this property again for sure👍 ##### Sally Q. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brendan S. Jan 18, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Somers Delight We were delighted to stay at this property. It was a bit retro-modern, with a working garden, including strawberries and chooks! Great coffee machine, towels, linen, relaxed atmosphere, and outlook. across the street, we discovered a large koala sanctuary. Walk to the beach and general store/cafe. This part of Somers is primarily unspoiled by suburban features such as curb and channel and McMansions, due to locals valuing the place's environment, character, and scale. ##### Brendan S. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel B. Jan 2, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach retreat! Great house in a great spot. Thankyou for a good week. ##### Daniel B.
