The Lobster is the perfect getaway for couples, friends or families sleeping up to 8 guests, and can be enjoyed at any time of the year.

OUTDOORS

Our favourite place to retreat

Our fourth stay at The Lobster was as relaxed as ever! Due to an unexpected heatwave we spent much more time in the outdoor bath than usual which was wonderful. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Beautiful home away from home!

We couldn't have found a more lovely, well maintained property to stay at! Bronnie communicated all of the details and was a pleasure to talk to. The bedrooms & living area are relaxing, lovely soft couches and beds. Loved playing the fun board games provided and outdoor quoits on the soft grass. There's even an outdoor bath/shower with hot water after coming back from a day on the beach! Make sure you spend some time sitting on the large back deck while parrots, willywag tales and family birds move about the gardens. Can't wait to stay again!

The Lobster

We had a wonderful stay at the Lobster. Pip’s communication was prompt and helpful. The house was clean and very well presented. It had a relaxed style and beautiful front gardens to enjoy. It is close to all amenities. I would highly recommend.

Wonderful Stay

Perfect property which is quiet, but close enough to walk to the cafes and shops. The house has a wonderful atmosphere and plenty of places outside to enjoy beautiful weather. Communication with the owner was great.

About the host

Hosted by Bronwen James

We have been Adelaide Hills dwellers for the past 23 years but have always holidayed in the Fleurieu Peninsular and surrounds dreaming of the day when we might have a seaside holiday house of our own. We are so excited to have found The Lobster in Normanville - one of our most favourite towns and beaches - and look forward to creating some wonderful new memories here and hope you will too.

Why they chose this property

South Australia has many beautiful places to discover but Normanville, to us, is the perfect size. Not too busty but with everything you need. A superb beach with crystal clear water and the softest sand. Astounding coastal views to the magical hills beyond. Wineries close by and not too far from the city. Perfect.

What makes this property unique

A classic 1970's a-frame beach house, the Lobster has been lovingly renovated to create beautiful, serene spaces that are homely and yet also sophisticated. Located just a 5 minute stroll to the town centre and a 12 minute walk to the beach you can leave the car in the driveway and unwind. From the beautiful lawn and fruit trees, to the outdoor shower and bath (with hot and cold water), secure yard, the kids' cubby house, and with multiple spaces to relax, The Lobster is special in a myriad of ways.
