Trent Australia

Somerset on the Pier is superbly located within a short walk to Salamanca, Battery Point and the town centre. It has fabulous views of the waterfront and Mt Wellington. A lovely place to come home to.

Colin Australia

location is superb! just at the pier really makes it outstanding. The only con was that we were given a noisy apartment on the 1st night of stay 19 June which was bad. Too near the exit and noisy as it was a SUNDAY and folks were still drinking...... The noise can be heard from the hall / 1st level. I had to request for the harbour view apartment which an additional charge of 40 bucks which should be waived. Can booking.com so anything?????? I booked almost every stay in this app which i could had booked directly.
