We had such a lovely mini stay at the Lobster. What a gem - so comfortable and a beautiful front yard deck and garden.
Hosts provided quality linen, towels and squeaky clean accomodation. Thankyou

We couldn't have found a more lovely, well maintained property to stay at! Bronnie communicated all of the details and was a pleasure to talk to. The bedrooms & living area are relaxing, lovely soft couches and beds. Loved playing the fun board games provided and outdoor quoits on the soft grass. There's even an outdoor bath/shower with hot water after coming back from a day on the beach! Make sure you spend some time sitting on the large back deck while parrots, willywag tales and family birds move about the gardens. Can't wait to stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at the Lobster. Pip’s communication was prompt and helpful. The house was clean and very well presented. It had a relaxed style and beautiful front gardens to enjoy. It is close to all amenities. I would highly recommend.

Perfect property which is quiet, but close enough to walk to the cafes and shops. The house has a wonderful atmosphere and plenty of places outside to enjoy beautiful weather. Communication with the owner was great.

A great holiday home in the beautiful town of normanville. We loved our stay in this relaxing home. The cubby and sandpit were great for the kids.
4.9
It was just perfect size for our small family. Clean and cozy, beautiful garden and our 3yo enjoyed the cubby house and sand pit so much.
So close to the Normanville town center and beach, yet so quiet in the night. Beautiful night sky.
Pip was so easy to communicate too.
We would love to visit again and 10/10 recommend to other people.
Thank you!

5 stars for the lobster house! My partner doggo and I were looking for a little weekend getaway and the lobster house was perfect! Nice and bright and warm. This winter has been freezing and we were toasty the whole time. Overlooking a lush green garden, the fields and sand hills and super close to the Main Street, we didn’t want to leave. Lobster house is the perfect amount of 70’s kitsch versus modern comforts. We will be back. Thanks so much for having us pip!

Cosy house. A bit too much dog hair left on the floor, blankets and washing machine, but otherwise good for families.

This property was perfect for us with a 2 year old. Fully fenced in with a great garden and the cutest cubby house and sandpit. Will defiantly book again

We had a lovely stay as always. Looking forward to coming again soon. Short distance to walk into Normanville. Very peaceful gardens with games to play.

We had a great stay at the lobster. We loved the new addition of the cubby and sandpit for our children. The walk to the beach and main street is nice and easy and the house has everything you need.

Fantastic property and loved staying here. Thank you so much for having us.

When we go away we want to take as little as possible so to have linen was a huge bonus!
We made the decision to go away the night before and the communication was fast and helpful.
Beautiful garden areas for kids and dog.
Comfy beds and pillows.
We were only in the house 10mins before working out when we could come back again!
Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Our third stay at The Lobster was full of surprise and delight. Our daughter loved playing cafe in the new cubby house and spent hours in the sandpit building castles. We saw crabs in the ocean and relaxed in the garden tub as always! Thanks Pip and Graham for continuing to create a special sanctuary for families to enjoy!

Spacious relaxed environment. Thoughtful welcome gift suggestion for improvement. Need a modern can opener and some baking paper clean as previous guests did not leave the oven clean.

We loved our stay, the house had everything we needed for a summer holiday. The deck and shady garden were also put to great use (meals/drinks/reading). We will definitely be back.

Upon arrival, the character of this property was immediately apparent. The children took over the upstairs bedrooms and really valued the outlook. Downstairs was a great space for relaxing as a family. The highlight for us was the outdoor space, with a beautiful bird-attracting garden, which we enjoyed sitting in for our morning and afternoon coffees. The location warrants special mention, with the area being quiet and safe; the children would stroll into the bakery to pick up some treats, and we could be at beautiful beaches in 2 minutes by car.

Such a great holiday home. In an excellent location, close to Main Street shops (5 min walk) and only 12 minutes walk to the beach. Garden was amazing too.

We love the location on the fleurieu and township of Normanville. However our time at The Lobster is always a happy holiday with it’s beautiful garden and cozy home.

Another perfect break at the Lobster!

Great experience from start to finish, beautiful garden setting to relax in.
Had a little trouble with the cooktop and pans but that could be our inexperience with induction cooking. Had a great time touring the Fleurieu from Normanville and coming home to the Lobster.

The house has a really nice atmosphere & a lovely outlook over the front garden.
We were there during very rough weather (severe weather warnings) but felt very comfortable inside watching the weather pass by. Convenient location too, easy walking distance to beach, shops & to look around.

Beautiful little get away
We had a fantastic stay at the “Lobster”. The house was super comfortable and had everything we required, plus even a few extras to keep the kiddies occupied. Loved making use of the outdoor bath.
Thanks Pip and Graham

Great place. Highly recommended

The Lobster has now become my go to destination for rest and recharging. Another fabulous stay, couldn't ask for anything more. A beautiful home that is only outdone by the most gorgeous gardens that are excellently maintained. Situated a stones throw away from everything you could need...shops, restaurants, cafe's, beaches and walking trails. And the perfect place to stay if you want to bring your four-legged family members as well. Already planning my next stay!

The house is so cute, it felt like staying at a friend's house. I love the upstairs bedroom with its big wooden ceiling fan the most. The experience was so peaceful, with a back deck that is great for yoga and sun bathing.
We would love to come to the lobster for another restorative girls weekend. Thank you so much for having us!
