Great Somers Escape
I find Somers the best place to leave Melbourne without having the hustle and bustle of Rye and surroundings. This house provided a beautiful getaway, we just wish it was longer and weather was better. Toilet seat in ensuite needs repair.

Surrounded by nature - my happy place
Love the house and particularly the huge kitchen window that opens up to the garden and deck. Very comfortable, clean and cozy for the cooler days and nights. Plenty of space for our family of 5.
