Somerset Apartments are brilliantly located midway between Ned's Beach and the Lagoon/CBD area. Beautiful gardens, lots of BBQ areas and bike racks on site, as well as a laundry building. The apartments are pretty basic but have everything you need. They are scrupulously clean and well maintained, but could do with a bit of a refresh. The Wi-Fi situation is initially a bit irksome, but that is an island wide issue and part of the charm of Lord Howe - an enforced digital detox. You can get coverage at the Transit Lounge at Somerset, so not too bad. Gai and her team are extremely accommodating and run nightly shuttle buses to take guests to the various restaurants located a little way away from the apartments. They also pick up and drop off at the airport. Lord Howe exceeded our expectations. The people living there are extremely kind and within a few days of arriving, we noticed ourselves beginning to adapt to island life and saying good morning to everyone we passed and waving at strangers on bikes and in cars, as is the island custom. The mantra "kindness begets kindness" is highly evident there and we found ourselves inviting strangers to have dinner with us or share a drink and had some of the best evenings we can remember. Snorkelling and hiking are sublime and we were lucky enough to see a couple of sharks as well as some of the most laid back turtles and fish on the planet. Amazing place. Definitely go.

The location is the best thing about this property - half way between the lagoon & Ned's Beach - and close to the main shops. Nice & level here too as there are plenty of hills on the island. The rooms are all very private and hidden in lush tropical gardens. The room was very comfortable and came with lots of thoughtful extras like backpacks, water bottles & golf umbrellas. Lots of BBQs scattered around the property, plus quite a few laundry's. Also a main transit lounge with plenty of books to swap and lots of tourist info. Office kindly lent us a fan, torches and clothes airer. Plus a courtesy bus runs every night and will drop you at whichever restaurant you want to eat at (the restaurants then drop you home). Will definitely stay here again.

Friendly, helpful staff. Perfect location on Ned’s Road, between the Lagoon and Ned’s Beach. Clean, well stocked apartment. Small problems: some sewage smell on first day only, poor tv reception. Overall: it was great accommodation on a wonderful island to visit. Highly recommended.

We have long thought about going to Lord Howe Island, and much earlier this year our forward-looking research suggested the Somerset Apartments as the right place at the right price - and it proved an excellent choice, meeting and exceeding all our expectations. From when we were picked up at the airport to when we were taken back there at the end of our stay, the facilities and support services plus excellent information about the island and its features and opportunities, underpinned all aspects of a great holiday. The well-designed and very well equipped and comfortably furnished apartments are spaces out in small groups within surrounding lush gardens of sub-tropical palms and flowering shrubs where the loudest sounds are the songs of many and varied birds. Relaxed. Uncommercialised. Peaceful. Perfect.

Great place to stay. Lord Howe did not disappoint. We enjoyed our stay even though it was a little cool in the evening but it was winter. Definitely go again

Check in was easy. Staff polite. As there are hardly any cars on the island the staff arrange for transfers to hotels/restaurants which was great

These apartments are comfortable, spacey and beautifully set in a lovely garden, close to the local "CBD", Post Office, shops and tour operators in the main street. Manager Gai and her cheerful team will welcome you to your holiday home as a guest. You will find flowers in your rooms, all amenities needed for your stay, a bbq in the garden and a few coffee shops and restaurants nearby. Enjoy!

Great position between ‘down town’ and Ned’s beach. Not serviced, but the room was very clean when we got there, and towels changed when needed. Staff very friendly, like everyone else on the island. Good laundry facilities, just don’t forget your $1 coins. Apartment had lots of room and comfortable beds, though bathroom is a little small. Basic facilities in room for cooking and lots of bbq areas outside. Would definitely recommend and consider staying here again.
