Our accommodation was clean and the facilities that we needed. It's an easy walk to Ned's Beach, the shops and restaurants. Lovely garden's & places to park your bikes. With pick-up and drop off airport bus.

Review of Somerset Apartments Lord Howe Island
Reviewed 4 Mar 2023
The lodge is composed of several scattered bungalow-like blocks nestled among the trees. Everything you might need is there: bed, bathroom (hot and cold running water), kitchenette with gas stove, sink, fridge and microwave oven, small TV with a small range of mainland channels, heating and air conditioning, furniture, pots and pans, crockery and cutlery.
The rooms aren't locked, as thieves wouldn't get far.
The staff are helpful and friendly. There are 3 guest laundries ($3) on site.
Only a half-minute bike ride to the village centre (such as it is).
Very peaceful, very pleasant.

Stayed at the Frangi Panni (14 - 21 Oct) units right up the back of the complex. Bathroom/Toilet set up was woefull. Wash Basin inadequate and too close to the toilet.
I informed the person running the complex on at least 3 occasions during our 7 day stay that there was a sewerage smell around the units which came and went at various times of the day. This smell invaded the unit. Very off putting indeed. Problem was not fixed while we were there.
Room tip: Book the units that they show in their brochure/website.
Date of stay: October 2022

What a wonderful team of staff, always there to assist anyway possible. Always optimistic when the weather changes. Central location, within walking distance to the lagoon and restaurants. Provide a shuttle for all patrons to your dining location. Rooms clean, adequate and very comfortable. Would highly recommend staying there. Thanks Gay for looking after us.

Simple accommodation but clean and good facilities and really all you need. We had a room in Frangipanni area which were a bit dark compared to those in Hibiscus. Excellent staff - friendly and attentive . Good hot showers and comfy bed. Close to restaurants , shops and bars as well as lagoon and Ned’s beach

Whilst it’s not the most modern accomodation it was totally comfortable, very clean, very spacious and the location was really convenient to beaches and cafes. The bathroom was relatively new. The hosts are amazing, nothing was a problem. There is a choice of outdoor bbq areas and tables which we used. They collect and deliver you to the airport and happily drop you off at restaurants. We would happily return.
Room tip: Hire a bike and explore the island.
