Schoolhouse Somerset Dam - Sleeps 16!!!

The largest house at Somerset Dam. Freshly renovated with all the mod cons whilst retaining the old-world charm.

The Schoolhouse is a part of Somerset Dam Village History!
The Old Schoolhouse was built in the 1930's and has been lovingly restored as a 5 bedroom vintage home. With high ceilings, spacious rooms, original timber floor, tongue and groove walls and lake-house, nautical decor it is a wonderful blend of the old and new.

The large well-appointed kitchen has everything you need for 16 guests, it opens onto a generous dining area and lounge with a magnificent cast iron fireplace to sit by on those chilly winter nights. With 5 separate bedrooms and enough beds to sleep 16, the Old Schoolhouse is the largest rental accommodation in the Village and can easily accommodate 4 families. Additionally, the property has zoned reverse cycle ducted air conditioning.

The perfect accommodation venue for Village weddings with Coronation Hall a short 3 minute stroll away. For the bride to be and her entourage what a fantastic place to prepare for that special day with a sensational backdrop to create lifelong memories. Or equally great for our Grooms and his boys and/or family to get ready.

For the water sports enthusiasts the spit is less than 5 minutes drive away. The property has a private hard stand at the rear for boats and jetskis and an undercover area for all your wet gear. Additional parking is available in the cul-de-sac.

The large verandah, outdoor dining and bar-b-que help you and your guests enjoy time away from the city and your busy lives. In a world that stops for no-one a stay at the Old Schoolhouse will take you back to a simpler time.

Good weekend away. Walking distance to the general store and the old school house vibe is really cool. Awesome communal areas/bedrooms and verandah area. Everything was really well maintained and clean. Would go back with a speed boat

Beautiful property. Great for large groups. Comfortable beds. Our only concern for younger children/babies, the bedrooms were a little isolated from the living area, but perfect for older kids and couples.

Excellent spot for family holidays

Our extended family all stayed here (5 family units) and we all comfortably fit. The shared lounge/kitchen area was perfect for hanging out and all the bedrooms were well sized. The two blocks of bedrooms, main living area and main bathroom are connected by a roofer veranda (not enclosed) which was chilly at night in winter but didn't detract from the beautiful house. Everything was neat, clean and well stocked!
