The Lobster is all about making memories. A renovated 70's A-frame that instantly transports you back to long simple beach days. A fantastic spot in a quiet street only minutes walk to Normy Beach and the Main street shops, cafes and pub. Leave the car at home and explore the beautiful seaside town by foot.

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
The Lobster is set on a fully fenced in 800 square meter block with a huge lawn and deck where the kids and family dog can play. The property is dotted with a variety of fruit trees and we encourage you to enjoy the produce if you are lucky enough for them to be fruiting during your stay. There is also an outdoor bath to wallow in and an outdoor shower to rinse off in after your beach visit, both with hot and cold water.

CONFIGURATION
The Lobster is a double brick, two story home with 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 2 toilets. The main living area features an open plan lounge room, dining and kitchen area capturing the garden views. The laundry and main bathroom lead from the kitchen area. One of the queen bedrooms is also down stairs. Upstairs leads to an extra toilet and two large bedrooms on either side of the landing, one with 2 bunks (4 single beds) and the other with a queen bed. The queen bedroom features a large private balcony with deck chairs and a 180 degree view of the garden, paddock, sand dunes and sea glimpses.

    The property was well equipped, although mattresses in main bedrooms were soft & uncomfortable! It was so hot in the upstairs bedrooms ( also due to there being no airconditioner in the kids room which is unacceptable during a heatwave) that we all had to move kids mattresses downstairs and sleep in the lounge area as at least the lounge airconditioner was adequate !!! Apart from the boiling hot upstairs kids room resulting in a rather uncomfortable stay the rest of the house was well equipped and the garden was lovely.

    Cosy comfy stay at Normanville. There were 3 of us so it was great to each have our own rooms. We walked to the beach (15mins), we walked to Carrickalinga beach (about 30mins) we walked to town (about 10 mins) so such an easy well located spot! Well equiped kitchen and gorgeously appointed place. The garden is a birds paradise!

    This is such a a wonderful, 'feel good' property. Time was spent listening to birdsong, basking in winter sun, playing with my dog in the glorious backyard. I felt completely at home and welcomed here.

    This was the first time we'd hired a house and The Lobster Cottage was amazing! We loved the house and all the facilities and the fully fenced garden was brilliant for our dog (who was having his first holiday!). The welcome bottle of sparkles was a lovely touch. From reading the visitors book a lot of people are repeat guests and I'm sure we'll be heading back there again. It was great to have queen rooms upstairs and downstairs if anyone had mobility issues. Just magical!

    I can't say enough about this host and the property. The property itself was even better than the photos and we enjoyed everything about it. Our two dogs loved the secure yard and runs on the dog friendly beach close by, (check times of the year). Golf courses were also fantastic! Thanks for a brilliant experience and see you again!

    We had the most loveliest stay at The Lobster house. Everything about the place was exactly what we wanted. The house was gorgeous, all the things you could want for a holiday away with the family. The backyard is beyond stunning and the location was perfect. My young kids had the best time playing in the backyard and cannot wait to go back to the lobster house Thanks Bronnie and family for the stay!
