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.

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!
