Come and stay at Somnium. Combining unrivalled seclusion, views, and luxury, Somnium offers a truly immersive experience on the NSW South Coast.
Take in 360 panoramic views of Gulaga (Mount Dromedary), Coila Lake and across the Pacific Ocean to Montague Island from our architecturally designed accommodation for your next memorable getaway.
The Property
Comprising two bespoke buildings, guests can spread out across both The Main House and The Barn, both designed to ensure a light environmental footprint to honour and respect the natural beauty of this private lakeside peninsula.
Surrounded by 44 acres of land and a kilometre of lake frontage, Somnium creates space to unfurl, discover, and reconnect.
Ideal for couples, families, and small groups, Somnium is the perfect backdrop for an impromptu escape from the city, a corporate retreat or a dedicated week-long stay to recharge and reset.
Somnium offers nature-based activities for guests to participate in such as a Local First Nations guided walk exploring Bingie Dreaming track. Guided walks or bird watching can also be pre-arranged for guests.
Ongoing regeneration work at Somnium includes regenerating areas with indigenous gum species collected and germinated from the property in 2023. In early 2024, 300 (of the 1000) seedling gums have been planted as the first stage. A seasonal land management plan is also in place at Somnium to reduce invasive weeds/ plant & regenerate all EEC areas on the property.
