Somerset Holiday Apartments
- Lord Howe Island
Somerset is centrally located and is ideal for all visitors to Lord Howe Island. Neds Beach, the lagoon, restaurants and shops are within a few minutes of the property.
Choose from Superior or Standard self-catering accommodation. All units have separate bedrooms and living areas, en suite bathrooms, plus covered verandahs for entertaining and relaxing. Each unit is equipped with a fridge and microwave, television, linen, fan, electric blankets, bath and beach towels.
Enjoy a short walk to popular Neds Beach. At sunset each evening from September to May, thousands of Flesh-footed Shearwaters return to their burrows in the palm forest adjacent to the beach. You can watch them fly in and observe their courting and breeding behaviour into the night. From November to May, Black-winged Petrels perform spirited courtship flights above the cliffs. Each summer, sooty Terns breed at the northern end of the beach.
Wander down to the lagoon to see dozens of White Terns nesting in trees just a few metres above the ground.
Or hike to the top of Malabar Hill where the world's greatest breeding concentration of Red-Tailed Tropicbirds can be seen.
The gardens at Somerset are a haven for many of Lord Howe Island's landbirds. The LHI Golden Whistler, LHI White-eye, Emerald Ground Dove, Woodhens and Banded Land Rails are regularly seen foraging here.
Ian Hutton's Lord Howe Island Nature Tours and Coates Wildlife Tours choose to stay at Somerset.
