Why holiday in Launceston?

Launceston is a small city that allows you to enjoy the cool climate of Tasmania in a relaxing environment. With the Victorian buildings lining the streets, you can almost feel the elegance of the older days that  have now been fused with a vibrant modern culture that seem to work well together. Here are some ideas on what to do in Launceston.

Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery – Become educated on the local history and enjoy the artwork mostly colonially inspired. The kids will also enjoy the interactive displays on offer.

Where is a good place to stay in Launceston?

Country Club Launceston – Only a short drive from the city centre, the Country Club is nestled in a bush setting, with 4 to 5 star accommodation options, you can decide if you would prefer pure luxury or a self contained unit to call home for a while.

What does Launceston have to offer?

Long dedicated to preservation, Launceston is a gracious city of Victorian streetscapes and Edwardian and Georgian buildings. The link between elegant past in this Tamar River city is also preserved in Victorian Park at Cataract Gorge where bands still play from the rotunda and strolling peacocks still mew, just as they did when wealthy merchants and their families strolled in the same park on Sunday afternoons more than a century ago. And why not wet your whistle at the Launceston’s Batman Fawkner Inn amid the ghosts of the founders of Melbourne who met in the very same hotel to plan the founding of a town on the other side of Bass Strait.

If you feel in need of a break with the past, plan a day in the local vineyards on the premier Tasmanian wine trail through the Tamar Valley. The prominent valley vineyards include Strathlynn St Matthias, Marion’s, Holm Oak and Iron Pot. Strathlynn’s dining room, which looks out over the river, specialises in locally grown food, while Marion’s Vineyard at Deviot tends toward Mediterranean platers.
