The Neighborhood:

Launceston is a beautiful city blending both city and country charms, with heritage streetscapes, a slice of urban wilderness and gourmet food and drink available at every turn. We aren’t just biassed, many agree, with Launceston named Australia’s best town to visit in 2022!

Nestled amongst these iconic buildings, you will find many delicious cafés and restaurants, an array of shops and boutiques, a vast range of cocktail bars and pubs and many amenities and recreational spaces.

Launceston has many things to see and do including the vibrant Harvest Market every Saturday morning, the Princess Theatre, hosting local, interstate, and international performances, the Star Theatre for a cosy, cinematic experience, and many pubs and venues that host amazing live, musical talents.

Often referred to as the 'Lygon’ Street of Launceston, you will find some of Launceston’s most popular eateries and amenities on the illustrious Charles Street. George St is also known as ‘Eat Street’ with a range of restaurants, bars, gin houses and cafes to cater for most tastes.

The Cataract Gorge is a spectacular natural formation where you can enjoy long and short walks, fresh water swimming basins, the world's longest single-span chairlift and vibrant peacocks! An additional, unique way to experience this attraction is via the Tamar Cruise vessel, which cruises through the waters that carve between the rocky formations.

The City Park which is known for its beautiful oak tree gardens, playground for the children, a plant-filled conservatory and cheeky snow monkeys. Nearby, you will find Penny Royal World. This attraction provides you and the family with a fabulous day out, with boat rides, rock climbing, rope courses, and more found here. For the adults, Penny Royal also provides a beautiful atmosphere where you can enjoy a wine or coffee.

An additional area to note is the Seaport Precinct. Here you will find some of Launceston’s most beloved restaurants and bars scattered along the edges of the Tamar River. Restaurants to note are Mud Restaurant and Bar, the Levee Food Co. and Spice. Across the bridge you will find the Riverbend Park for all day play entertainment, the Boathouse Café and Silo Hotel.

There are many, many more experiences and places to see. If you are after any specific recommendations, please ask us, we would love to share our knowledge and experiences with you.

Large house in a great location
Really enjoyed staying here. Lots of space and very comfortable. The backyard is a bit steep with a toddler (steps/decking up to the grassed area) but if you're there and watching we had no issues

Launceston Historic Gem is a Grand Old Lady in a Fabulous Location
The location is great with cafes, restaurants, Cole’s & shopping all close by, to be able to park the car just walk to and from was fabulous and on those days when out and about exploring all that Launceston and the Tarmar Valley has to offer it was lovely to come back and relax whether on the front veranda watching the sunset and the street come alive or out on the back alfresco deck area in the warmth of the afternoon sun, I absolutely loved my stay, the spacious rooms, immaculate historic furnishings all give homage to an era gone by and the gardens are beautiful with the roses in full bloom, I look forward to returning again.
