The property is well located in a slightly elivated position towards the end of the road, so it was very quiet with very little traffic. The accommodation was clean and tidy. We enjoyed our stay and will likely come back for another visit.

Well equipped stay in peaceful surrounds. Jetty for paddling and fishing with a lovely beach short walk away. So much to do in the area. Or just chill and read with a water view.

Slice of heaven

This wonderful cabin was the perfect place to explore the Tasman Peninsula. The host was wonderful giving us ideas of places to visit. The best part was the beautiful view of the water from the deck and the bedroom. Slept with the window open, breeze and sound of waves. Thanks for sharing. Deb and Bob Cailor Marblehead, Ohio USA

Lovely holiday house.

The house had everything that you would expect in a holiday house. Also had a lovely view and was very quiet. The only downside was my fault as I didn’t realize it was so far from shops and restaurants which meant no ducking out for a quick meal! If I had realized that I probably would have booked something closer to facilities.

Sommers Bay is gorgeous. We booked this beach house when we saw the view from the deck. This modest house has everything needed for a relaxed and comfortable stay and was clean, warm, with well stocked kitchen draws. We’ll be booking again for a summer holiday.

Enjoyable stay

House was as advertised. Clean linens and plenty of room for 4 adults. It had everything we needed. Small amount of bench space for food storage and prep but we managed fine. Great community and access to east coast convict trail, beach with fishing jetty just over the road. Lovely people staying nearby loaned us kayaks which was a highlight, perfect spot for kayaks and fishing. I would recommend this property.

Super relaxing and convenient.

Sommers Bay Beach House is in a great location for sight seeing, peace and quiet and strolls along the beach. The view from the decking is lovely and is a great place for a read and for watching the wildlife. The house is super comfy and has everything you need. The local Roadhouse is a great resource and the locals are so friendly. Best of all we were able to take our four legged friend with us who made himself quite at home and was totally worn out after all the beach exercise. Thankyou for a great holiday.

Overall impression of the stay was faultless. The ladies would of liked more towels per person and perhaps more hand towels in the bathroom. Over abundance of appliances in the kitchen. Will definitely come again

Lovely peaceful location, small and tidy shack. Cleanliness of kitchen utensils and towels left a little to be desired, but would still recommend a stay in this lovely area.

Comfortable House Near the Water

Small but well appointed, the house has good heating (it was cold outside while we were there).and there is a good well equipped kitchen and lounge and deck. The promised beach was far away but the small waterfront jetty opposite was good.
