Somerset on the Pier, located within an award-winning restored waterfront landmark originally built in the 1930s, offers stunning panoramic views of the Derwent River, Hobart?s waterfront and the historic Sullivan Cove.


Located on Elizabeth Street Pier, your residence is about three minutes walk away from the Central Business District.

Lining the Hobart waterfront are several pubs and historic buildings, including the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and Constitution Dock. Near Constitution Dock, you can choose to dine at one of the fine seafood restaurants or purchase the day?s freshest catch from the local fishermen.

Every year, after Christmas, the dock is evacuated to make room for participants in the famous 'Sydney to Hobart yacht race', arguably the finest blue-water ocean classic in the world. Further along the waterfront, at Sullivan Cove, discover the many antique stores, unique Tasmanian craft studios and galleries.

Somerset on the Pier, a non-smoking residence, offers you the pleasures of crisp, clean air within the comforts of your residence and opportunities to explore Hobart's natural beauty, charm and heritage from one of Australia?s most picturesque ports.

Should you have any query or require assistance, approach our friendly reception, available 24 hours each day. Our function and conference centre is available for any event: business presentations, trade displays and even major conferences.

After a day of hard work, take some weight off your mind and unwind with friends at the on-site cafe, restaurant or bar, or simply select your favourite movie at the complimentary DVD library and have a movie night within the comforts of your residence.
