G’day and welcome to Somerset.
(3)

Located in the heart of Southeast Queensland, we’re just over an hour from Brisbane CBD and the gateway to Toowoomba and the Sunshine Coast. We’re a large region of lakes and landscapes, in fact we’ve got 5,382km2 of countryside for you to explore. We’re home to the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, Australia’s longest recreational rail trail, so there’s 161km of high-quality track just waiting for you

to cycle, hike or horse-ride. Our lakes are second to none and the perfect spot to drop a line or take a dip. Our little country towns are the heartbeat of our region. We are proud of our small local businesses, who still believe in country hospitality and value high quality produce and experiences. Here in Somerset, we also love a generous serving of home-cooked tucker. That’s why our local cafes and pubs always serve up the goods packed with fresh Somerset flavours. What’s more, with a range of accommodation styles available, there’s always plenty of room to stay when you visit.
