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.

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 :)

We loved our recent stay at Koala cottage. Close to a magnificent swimming beach. Koalas and birds.
The house was great with a lovely porch to relax on and Angela was very helpful and responsive. Rate it very highly and hope to be back.

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.

Huge backyard for kids to play in with park over back fence. Quiet serene location. Could hear a koala at night, but didn't manage to spot it. House fully equipped with everything needed. Comfortable and clean property, really enjoyable stay.

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.

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

Koala Cottage a great spot to stay
Koala Cottage is a comfortable spot to stay in the lovely Somers community in Westernport.
Angela is a great host, the cottage has everything we needed and I definitely recommend it as a base for sailing, walking and winery visiting.

Lovely spot
We had a short, very relaxing stay at Koala cottage. We even saw a koala! It came through the front garden and then climbed a tree just behind the house. The cottage was spotlessly clean, is very well equipped and the bed was very comfortable. What more could you ask for? Angela was very easy to communicate with.

Comfortable stay in Somers
We chose the property because it is walking distance from our daughters house & we didn't spend much time there other than sleeping, but it had everything we needed, was impeccably clean & Angela was a pleasure to deal with. Also right next to a playground with a flying fox that the grand kids loved. I have no hesitation in recommending The Koala Cottage, and will happily stay there again

Charming cottage escape from lockdown
Firstly, Angela was a delight with fast response to any Enquiries and very helpful. The cottage was bright, comfortable and spotlessly clean and the little extras like a flowering pot plant on the verandah table added to the charm. We also enjoyed the gas log fire on a cold evening. It is an easy walk to the store for delicious treats and Somers beach where you can often see dolphins. If the stairs are a problem for those with mobility issues, the next beach on the right of the yacht club has less stairs. We really enjoyed our time at Koala Cottage and hope to stay again and although we didn’t see a koala there were plenty of lovely birds including black cockatoos, rosellas and a kookaburra

Great stay!
The Koala cottage was ideally located to visit our son at HMAS Cerberus. The property was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. The cottage was only a short walk to Somers Beach which was wonderful. Our host Angela couldn’t do enough for us and I highly recommend this property.

An Affordable Stay
A welcoming, cottage style property on a corner block with full length covered verandah, native plants, & at times a big grey Koala in a tree.
Spotless, fresh interior has updated kitchen area with modern appliances. Laundry has modern Washing Machine.
The large backyard was well used by visiting grandkids & our dog, which naturally had to have prior approval.
Although not swimming weather, walking to the beach, eating very good food at the local Somers Store, checking some local wineries, was all a pleasant way to
enjoy the area.
Balnarring shops have good coffee, food & IGA store & more.
If you need a Bunnings "fix" it's a short drive to Hastings.
Thankyou to Angela for providing extra helpful information.
Liz & Geoff.
