Somerset on the Pier

Hobart


In a definitively Hobart location, on the upper level of the Elizabeth St Pier, this cool complex offers luxe apartments with beaut harbour views and breezy, contemporary design. You’ll pay more for a balcony, but with these views you won’t need to do any other sightseeing. Right in the thick of things, but still very private. Limited parking.
