Fabulous grand historical house
This grand old house is positioned on a hill with fabulous views of the inlet and walking distance from the centre of town. The facilities are a bit tired, but the house overall is very comfortable.

A great holiday weekend.
House is centrally located and charming. Parking was a little tricky due to the steep incline. Really appreciated the heritage of the property but could have had more modern conveniences although the kids loved the idea there might be a ghost or two hanging around. Overall everyone had a great time and really enjoyed being in the heart of the city with views to die for.

Great location, fantastic views from the deck. Only down side was the barbecue & utensils were not cleaned from the previous guests. Bathroom downstairs has a bath/ shower, a handrail would have been great for getting in & out, especially if you have an older group staying. Would recommend the property.

Very sorry about the BBQ, it must have been missed as it is usually cleaned ready for new guests. I will make sure our cleaners get your feedback.

Stunning in every way! The location, the views, the house was large and spacious with tons of character. We all had a own areas to chill out or large meeting rooms ie the dining sat up to 12 and the lounge was spacious too. The kitchen was to die for and the large verandas with views over the hills town and harbour. everything was spoton

Eclectic
Location is amazing with equally wonderous views of the bay. Check in and communication were easy too. House is filled with antiques. Not really our cup of tea though. Odd smell here and there was noted too. I developed asthma too (often this is from dust). Floor also was quite sticky in a few places. Bathroom had an ant problem too. No wifi :(. But some may enjoy this property with its heritage features

Fabulous historic house
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Somerset house. It has a beautiful view over the town and harbour with only a short walk to town. The house is very well equipped and comfortable. We especially loved the old Meters stove in the kitchen! Highly recommended for a large family.

Authentic Period Property
There are many charming and quirky features at this property making it an unusual and interesting stay. Linen and towels were provided and clean. Milk was in the fridge and the property was overall comfortable and well equipped. Some of the beds could have been more comfortable, a couple were very old frames and mattresses. The property isn't the most secure but the neighbourhood seemed nice. Communication with the host was easy and quick.

Thank you for a comprehensive review. All mattress and beds are new except one timber bed frame that was restored and kept for authenticity.

Our group had the most amazing stay at Somerset house. For ten adults it was just perfect. The whole experience was amazing. The period setting of the house is perfect and the little touches of supplies was very much appreciated especially after a long drive from Perth.

Fantastic weekend.
The house has plenty of room for the 10 of us to eat, sleep or relax inside or outside while enjoying the view. Sun rise and sun sets were terrific. The information and history in the desk, library or different draws could keep you reading for a week. Enjoyed having to find your way around, most rooms have 2 doors which lead in different directions, we all a bit of fun getting around. The beds and lounges were comfortable and using the large dinning table for multiple games being played at the same time. The BBQ area is OK but is in need of a bit of TLC. Overall the property and the stay was fantastic, will be back again. Thanks Julie. Colin Buss

Stunning house and views
Was gobsmacked by the views when we arrived. Just amazing. Beautiful old house comfortably fitted our group of 9 in 6 bedrooms. Loved all the nicknacks and old photos around the house. Very comfortable beds and amazingly well equipped kitchen. Good size lounge room with plenty of seating for large groups. Fantastic outdoor area at the back of the house where we spent most of our time in the morning and evening. Highly recommend. Big thanks to Julie for being answering all our questions etc. Hope to re visit some day.

It has everything, great location, amazing views and well equipped kitchen.
Quick responses from Julie on booking and with question, thank you. We stayed two nights, it wasn't long enough. Two families, nine people in total and had plenty of beds and rooms to keep us happy. Albany's Indian Tandoori Restaurant not to far away was delicious and worth a try. If you want to stay in you have only everything you need to use in the kitchen to appliances, spices, oil etc. Brilliant
