Long weekend getaway

We enjoyed our short family break at Koala Cottage. Great to be able to walk to the beach and General Store via the cut-throughs at the end of the court. Lovely verandah for relaxing with a good book and comfy couch to kick back and watch TV.

We were not able to get in until 3.50 pm as cleaning still in progress. Connection to WIFI not possible at all. Position and access to the shop and beach great & so easy. Double bed very comfortable. We did not use any of the cooking facilities. We enjoyed our catch up with friends.

We stayed at Koala Cottage over Footy Finals long weekend and it was one of our best holidays. Angela is a perfect host, she made the booking process very easy for us, even though it was last minute decision. Check in was clear and easy, which was great after a busy day we had visiting Port Nepean and Cape Schanck Lighthouse. On arrival we found the cottage just as described - cosy, peaceful and relaxing. We popped in local IGA on our way to the cottage to grab some meat - great selection of food and drinks - and had bbq on the verandah, enjoying birds and admiring starry sky. Next morning we walked to the beach and kids played on flying fox just outside of the backyard. We spent 3 wonderful days exploring beautiful peninsula and managed to do and see a lot in the short time due to Koala Cottage being close to everything. On our last day we checked out and went to French island to see koalas and peacocks - ferry terminal is only a few minutes away from Koala Cottage. We really enjoyed our holiday at Koala Cottage and we hope to be back soon.

Beach house in somers

The house was fine for our stay. We weren’t looking for luxury but more convenience and comfort and the house delivered, we always love visiting Somers it’s such a lovely town.I think we were unlucky in that the owner was short staffed and the house wasn’t ready when we wanted to check in, as in six hours after scheduled check in- I ended up finishing making 3 beds because I just needed to settle the kids.I am sure the owner won’t let this happen again and future guests will have a regular check in. I am leaving this review so it’s noted that changes in process should be put in place. A few other things happened in the check in that were not ok but I don’t need to over complain, I am sure it’s all smoothed out now. It definitely disappointed my holiday ecxpectations but this is all fixable.

Somers

Koala Cottage was the perfect place to stay for our us with being so close to HMAS Cerberus and not too far from Melbourne. It was roomy and comfy. There was ample supply of everything we needed. Thanks Angela :)

Great summer stay

We had a great stay at Somers. It's a spacious, clean, well-equipped property. Beds were comfy and the water pressure is great too. Location is fab, it's a quick walk to the beach and general store. The property also borders a small park with a well-shaded playground which our kids loved exploring (hold on tight to that flying fox, though!). Angela, the host, was extremely quick to respond and the check-in process couldn't have been easier. Happy to say the property also lived up to its name with a big koala taking up residence for a couple of days in a tree just a few meters from the front deck.

Lovely accomodation with many extras

This accomodation met all our needs and the owner was very responsive and helpful. It was really clean and so well set up. The area guides that were left there were excellent. The only comment I would make is being asked to strip beds and replace cleaning products ( if used up) just took away from the experience. It was even expected that we vacuum and mop floors. I just think we are paying good money to hire the accomodation and those departure requests are not necessary and do not create a good vibe.

Could do Better

Very friendly host, but surprised when shown through to hear the following comments - “the gas fire does not work”, which was one of the amenities advertised and one we were looking forward to. Fortunately there was air conditioning. “The TV does not work, could be the remote, here are new batteries” . I got it working. “Tap in bathroom leaking - can’t get a plumber yet” “The water in the shower builds up in the corner because the level is not correct - you have to push the water into the drain hole” Cobwebs on the bedroom ceiling did not look good. A pity to have to write this but not what we expected. All these issues could easily be resolved. Annette & Greg
