The Neighborhood:
South Launceston is a lovely and diverse suburb, known for its mining cottages built in the early 1900's. Being the first suburb South of the city, South Launceston is only a short walk or drive into Launceston’s city centre. With this hard-to-beat location, South Launceston provides you with access to many eateries, retail shops, amenities and Launceston’s city centre with ease.

Whilst exploring the suburb, we recommend stopping in to Guerrilla drive-through coffee to start your day. Wellington Street runs through the suburbs centre, with popular restaurants, take-aways, hairdressers, beauty salons and boutiques branching off either side. Nearby, you will find the Door of Hope facility housing Launceston's most popular gym, a cafe, a childcare centre, conference facilities and a church.

Coronation park, containing a sporting oval and small playground, is located in South Launceston. Other local parks include Princes Square, full of historical fountains, and the City Park which is known for its beautiful oak tree gardens, playground for the children, a plant-filled conservatory and cheeky snow monkeys.

Wander down to Launceston’s city centre, where you will find yourself surrounded by many of Launceston's most iconic historical buildings. You will find many tasty cafés and restaurants, an array of shops and boutiques and a vast range of cocktail bars and pubs.

South Launceston provides you with easy access to the Launceston General Hospital, and Charles Street, where you are sure to find many eateries and bars. Other restaurants and bars of note include The Black Cow Bistro, Geronimo’s Aperitivo Bar and Restaurant, Cataract on Paterson, Cafe Mondelo, Novaros and Cinco Passiones, who serve up arguably the most tasteful cocktails in the city.

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, a play area, BBQ’s 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.

Great Getaway
Great little getaway, with a ‘caravan’ type feel. Central to most amenities and tourist attractions. We had a great stay! (Note: description states full kitchen, but there is no oven, so stove-top and microwave meal prep only, which worked for us for the week)

Cute and Cosy
The Caboose proved to be a cute and well-priced accommodation option for two, with all necessary amenities provided. The wall heater and reverse-cycle aircon warded off Tassie’s nighttime chill, and the kitchenette and bathroom were equipped with the essentials. Location was great for easy access to the airport and the city of Launceston. Staying in The Caboose was a quirky and fun “tiny house” experience, highly recommended for anyone looking for something different to the usual run-of-the-mill accommodation.
