With an abundance of attractions and experiences on offer, Launceston serves up the idyllic base for discovery. Whether it’s a visit to the various wineries that line Tamar Valley to taste Tasmanian’s signatures wines of sparkling, pinot noir and sauvignon blanc, a trip to the local Salmon farm (41 degrees south) offering some of the worlds best Salmon, enjoying a day’s entertainment at the University of Tasmania Stadium (a short walk from the hotel) or for the more adventurous type a day of hiking around Dove Lake at the base of the world famous Cradle Mountain.

Just a little over an hour northwest of Launceston lies the city of Devonport. Aside from being home to an enormous antique emporium and an artisan chocolate factory, Devonport also has a cruise terminal where you can set sail on your next adventure when departing Tasmania.
