About this property

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.

*Guests must provide their own sheets, pillowcases and towels*

About the host

Hosted by Nicki Tidbold

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 who enjoy all water sports. We have been coming to Somerset Dam for over 30 years and our boys have grown up on the lake.
We bought the Schoolhouse in June 2022 after many years searching for the perfect property for our large extended family.
We loved the history of the school and tried to retain that vintage feel as we renovated and updated.
Our boys our now adults and enjoy the schoolhouse with their wives and partners and our wonderful grandchildren.
We love to share our very unique space with other families as we know how hard it is to find a space where the whole family can be together. You can easily fit 4 families in the Schoolhouse and not be on top of each other. Be sure to check out the photos of our famous bunk room!!!
We hope you create as many wonderful memories here as we do.
