Slow down in Somerset
Nestled amongst rolling hills, farmland and South East Queensland’s lakes and waterways, the relaxed enclave of Somerset invites you to escape the city hustle.
Here, country escapes and slow adventure reigns supreme. Weekends are spent hiking, cycling, fishing or relaxing with friends around a warm fire pit.
You’ll explore charming villages worthy of a wander – where boutique shopping, art-filled spaces and a blossoming coffee culture is waiting to be enjoyed.
No city hustle. No long queues. Just wide-open spaces, fresh air, warm hospitality and a small batch scene inviting you to eat local and shop small.
This is more than a place to visit. It’s a place to slow down, connect and enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
Somerset is Brisbane’s best kept secret. Start planning your next great escape to Somerset here.
