Launceston Getaway

Last week, Zuleika and I headed North for three days to have a look at the Launceston and Tamar Valley accommodation properties that we sell here at TasVacations.

We saw a great mix of hotel, motel and apartment style properties ranging from 3 ½ star quality, right up to 4 ½ star quality and we were both very impressed with what Launceston and the Tamar Valley has to offer!

We were kindly hosted at Peppers Silo Hotel and Mercure Launceston each night.


A trip to Launceston isn’t complete without a visit to the Cataract Gorge, so we had lunch at the Basin Café and enjoyed a short walk. We also stopped at Launceston Airport which after their recent refurbishments, was very impressive. Other highlights included Archie the onsite Labrador at Peppers Silo Hotel who greets you at reception, a lovely dinner at Spice Lounge on the Seaport Boulevard and a stop at Old Kempton Distillery on the way home for the best Devonshire tea we have both had!

We both feel we have a great understanding of our Launceston accommodation and what properties will suit each individual traveller. Please get in touch and let us know if you have any questions about accommodation for your holiday in Northern Tasmania.
