The Scout's House - Somers Beach

Welcome to The Scout's House located on Somers Beach on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. Australia.

You are going to adore this very peaceful Australian holiday house.

Just a few steps to the closest entrance to Somers unofficial naturist beach and a brisk 30 min walk to pristine swimming , dolphins, warm sun and sand.

A short walk to the iconic Somers General Store. The perfect base to explore the delights of the Mornington Peninsula.

Perched in a native and indigenous landscaped garden, you'll be wrapped in nature.

There's so much to do here, or nothing at all. .

The house was built by a European Migrant family in the mid 1970's. It's an classic design and layout. The house is set to maximise light with big windows that set the scene to enjoy the views from the treetops.

The Entrance to The Scouts House is spacious with a wonderful terrazzo floor. Plenty of room for you to unload your luggage and to bring home the days shopping- fresh produce or boxes of wine from very good local wineries.

Up the stairs is wonderful, a glorious collected vintage mirror wall faces you and the staircase void decorated with a fine mobile by famed Danish Mobile Makers- Flenstead.

Up the stairs and you start to get a feel for the eclectic vibe. I have collected all of the things in the Scouts house, as I have had the opportunity to travel all over the world. There's a beautiful collection of art by artists like John Coburn, Lauren Bamford, Clifton Pugh and Sculptures by Miriam Porter. There are fantastic concrete planters by Willy Guhl and some very special Australian designs too. Original lighting by Jielde, Louis Poulson, DCW Editions and paper Akari Lamps designed by Isamu Noguchi- this is a no knock off zone!

Upstairs is completely white, it's light breezy and warm. Living, kitchen, Bathroom 1, Bedrooms 1 and 2 are all upstairs.

White washed lining boards on the walls and ceiling give a coastal mood. Chairs by Charles Eames, Grant Featherston and a Sofa by Modernica anchor the house in Mid Century Modern. As does the original Brass Fireplace manufactured in New Zealand .

The galley kitchen has everything you need. The utilitarian stainless steel bench top is so easy to clean and practical. You can eat at the kitchen bench or take meals out to the large back deck which is north facing and has a barbecue with wok burner and large extension table for family gatherings.

There is a huge colourful umbrella, French Deckchairs, a single mattress pad for sun baking on the deck. Plus extra stools and seating all over the house.

In the lounge, the focus is not the television. There are hundreds of books in the Scouts House. Novels, picture books, art programs, biographies. A simple sound system connects to your phone. Apple TV is easy to use, and the television is modest for catching up with reality.

A DVD player plays the entire collection of Woody Allen films and some Art House Classics. At night Roman blinds provide complete privacy, but during the day drawn to welcome the day ahead.

There is always lots of firewood for the fire. A reverse cycle air conditioner also for getting the space the way you want it. We supply candles and room sprays by the world best - CIRE TRUDON for you to enjoy while you stay.

The views from upstairs are spectacular and some sea views for you to enjoy from the living and kitchen windows.
