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 transport - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - 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 - Smoke-free property ### 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 ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88650000/88642000/88641973/72a7c65c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tasman Serenity in Somers Walk to the beach Somers - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi 10 Exceptional 1 review £592 includes taxes & fees 30 Jan - 31 Jan 2026 [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-30&endDate=2026-01-31&selected=88641973&PinnedHotelID=88641973&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90010000/90010000/90009984/6eda3a43.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Balnarring Beach Retreat Balnarring Beach - Kitchen - Washing machine - Air-conditioning - Outdoor space 9.0 Wonderful 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=90009984&PinnedHotelID=90009984&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115990000/115983500/115983432/d298e4b3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sky Views by Property Mums Somers - Washing machine - Dryer - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning £645 includes taxes & fees 30 Jan - 31 Jan 2026 [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-30&endDate=2026-01-31&selected=115983432&PinnedHotelID=115983432&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 - Washing machine - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-14&endDate=2026-01-15&selected=117822664&PinnedHotelID=117822664&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 2:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available ### Check-out Check-out before 11:00 AM Contactless check-out ### 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 This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

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. 18 Jan 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. 2 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach retreat! Great house in a great spot. Thankyou for a good week. ##### Daniel B.
