Waratah is a beautifully renovated historic building located on one the hills in Launceston. The room was large and well apponted. The bathroom is new and spotless. The bed is very comfortable. They do not serve any food so come prepared. There are a number of good cafes and restaurants, however, you need to drive or get an Uber/taxl. Yhe hill is too steep for a comfortable walk. There are numerous steps between the car pak and the front door.

Very good value for money for such a tranquil and beautiful place with very spacious room. Parking our Hilux was a bit challenging, but it didn’t take away from the overall charm of the experience. Highly recommended.

Easy and efficient check-in. Room was very clean and spacious with well-renovated bathroom. Loved the high ceiling. Some corridor noise with guests coming in and out the front door. Convenient walking distance to shops, restaurants and City Park.

Waratah on York is one of my favourite places to stay in Launceston. Beautiful, large rooms, comfortable beds, sensational showers & wonderful staff. Close enough to walk everywhere - just be warned, it is on a hill!
