About this property

Somerset Dam Retreat - Relax & unwind. Sleeps 10

The Somerset Dam Retreat is the perfect place to escape and relax. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac in the historic Somerset jDam Village & minutes from Lake Somerset, it’s a gorgeous holiday house for family or friends wanting to get away.

Surrounded by mountains with adjoining acreage views, it’s the ultimate location to unwind. Perfect for weddings at Coronation Hall only 300m away plus a boaties dream with "The Spit" just a few minutes drive down the road. You'll love staying at this beautiful location. (But sorry.. you’ll have to leave your pets at home!).

The cosy house is beautifully decorated with quality furniture and a modern country feel. It offers 3/4 bedrooms, and can comfortably sleep up to 10 guests. All linen is included. The master offers a queen bed plus ensuite, the second bedroom offers a double bed and the combined third and fourth bedroom has a double bed plus 2 sets of bunks (aka "The Bunk House!").

Out the back is a great place for families to come and unwind with an open bar, fire pit with seating, outdoor dining table, and it wouldn’t be a holiday without a BBQ. The area is perfect for winter nights by the fire or summer sunset views over the mountains.

Our stunning main living room looks out to acreage views through french doors, and has plenty of seating for everyone. A wood fireplace adds to the ambience and keeps those winter nights cosy. Entertain the family with a TV, DVD player with a large selection of DVD’s and board games for the kids and those competitive adults! This room is south facing with the combination of air-conditioner and fans to cool the place down during summer.

We also offer a second living zone (aka "The Reading Room"), the perfect place to relax and read your favourite book, chat with friends or have some time to yourself.

They say the kitchen is the heart of the home… well in this case it sure is! With views of both the front and back of the house you are always part of the conversation with four bar stools at the bench. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need including an oven, microwave, coffee machine, fridge, kettle and toaster etc.

The dining area has a beautiful timber table with bench seats and head of table chairs.

You'll love your stay at the Somerset Dam Retreat!

Delightful mini break
Absolutely lovely property. Felt like home straight away. Had everything we needed. Kids loved the games and ping pong table. We loved the front deck and ‘parents lounge’ at front of home. Bunk room was perfect for 6 kids to share. Really enjoyed our time away and wish we had booked the extra night, cause I didn’t want to go home today.

We had a marvelous time. The property was quiet and had a fire pit and ping pong table which our children loved! The only issue I had was that the main bedroom is not separated by a door to the main bathroom. Otherwise, it was a nice getaway. The Spit is 5 minutes away. Kilocy and Esk are between 20-30 minutes away and are cute little country towns. Would recommend to a friend.

About the host

Hosted by Suz & Mark

Host profile image
Hi, we're Suz & Mark. Nice to meet you! We have 2 kids and live in the Brisbane region. We’re so glad that you have checked out our place and hope you are considering a stay out at the retreat.

As every busy family knows, sometimes it’s not easy to get out the grind and get away. It takes a conscious effort to spend quality time together with family and friends, to escape from the constant business of life and to unwind and have some fun!

Our dreams came true when we visited Somerset Dam Village and instantly fell in love with the town. We were blessed when we found a super cute house and loved the idea of being able to share it with others as well! We also love being near the water so having the dam minutes away for summer fun sealed the deal.

Why they chose this property

If you love fishing, skiing or boats, you’ll be in boaties paradise. During winter, it’s pretty awesome being surrounded by fog in between the mountains as you can cozy up by the fire and rug up. There’s also plenty of wildlife around the area including resident tawny frogmouth owls, rainbow lorikeets and there’s even wild deer around the area. There’s so much to enjoy!

What makes this property unique

Our goal was to create a space you can retreat to… where you can instantly unwind, rest, relax, have fun and spend quality time with your family and friends. Where you can let the cares of everyday life go and appreciate the beautiful nature around you.

We know you'll love the Somerset Dam Retreat as much as we do!
