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.

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.
