Gorgeous property, felt like our very own holiday home. Great communication with owner, fabulous location within easy walking distance to shops and the beach. Would love to stay again.
We had a great stay at the lobster. We loved the new addition of the cubby and sandpit for our children. The walk to the beach and main street is nice and easy and the house has everything you need.
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.
Wonderful property and fantastic host. Our little pack loved the proximity of all the beaches and walking tracks. Great town with really friendly people. We will definitely be back.
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.
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!
We loved our stay, the house had everything we needed for a summer holiday. The deck and shady garden were also put to great use (meals/drinks/reading). We will definitely be back.
We had a lovely stay as always. Looking forward to coming again soon. Short distance to walk into Normanville. Very peaceful gardens with games to play.
This property was perfect for us with a 2 year old. Fully fenced in with a great garden and the cutest cubby house and sandpit. Will defiantly book again
After staying in holiday homes for 23years this is the ONLY place we have ever revisited.
Its dog friendly, has a beautiful garden, linen supplied, lovely location. itâs a cosy, clean and charming home and the communication with the host is the best Iâve ever encountered.
We loved it!!
Well designed and styled.
Well equipped kitchen
Walking distance from main street of Normanville. 20mins away from Rapid bay for squidding.
We had a wonderful stay at the Lobster. Pipâs 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.
Our third stay at The Lobster was full of surprise and delight. Our daughter loved playing cafe in the new cubby house and spent hours in the sandpit building castles. We saw crabs in the ocean and relaxed in the garden tub as always! Thanks Pip and Graham for continuing to create a special sanctuary for families to enjoy!
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!
It was just perfect size for our small family. Clean and cozy, beautiful garden and our 3yo enjoyed the cubby house and sand pit so much.
So close to the Normanville town center and beach, yet so quiet in the night. Beautiful night sky.
Pip was so easy to communicate too.
We would love to visit again and 10/10 recommend to other people.
Thank you!
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!
When we go away we want to take as little as possible so to have linen was a huge bonus!
We made the decision to go away the night before and the communication was fast and helpful.
Beautiful garden areas for kids and dog.
Comfy beds and pillows.
We were only in the house 10mins before working out when we could come back again!
Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!
5 stars for the lobster house! My partner doggo and I were looking for a little weekend getaway and the lobster house was perfect! Nice and bright and warm. This winter has been freezing and we were toasty the whole time. Overlooking a lush green garden, the fields and sand hills and super close to the Main Street, we didnât want to leave. Lobster house is the perfect amount of 70âs kitsch versus modern comforts. We will be back. Thanks so much for having us pip!
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.
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.
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.
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.
