The stunning suburb of West Launceston holds a truly unique blend of residential charm and Tasmania's stunning wilderness. Nestled among rolling hills, you'll find original federation-style homes that have been lovingly renovated, seamlessly blending modern comforts with their original character.
Perched overlooking the Launceston Valley, West Launceston offers breathtaking city views from every angle, whether it's basking in the warm morning sun or admiring the starry skies and city lights.
Within the suburb, you'll find an IGA supermarket for all your grocery needs, as well as the delightful Cuccina Cafe, serving up delicious breakfast and lunch options throughout your stay.
Step outside and discover the wonders of Cataract Gorge right at your doorstep. Here, you can enjoy leisurely walks, refreshing swims in freshwater basins, and exhilarating rides on the world's longest single-span chairlift. Keep an eye out for the vibrant peacocks roaming the area! For a unique perspective, hop aboard the Tamar Cruise vessel and sail through the majestic rocky formations. Afterward, indulge in a memorable dining experience at the Gorge Restaurant, whether by the cosy fireplace indoors or amidst the serene Tasmanian wilderness outdoors. While exploring, we highly recommend a visit to the Duck Reach Power Station, a fascinating glimpse into Australia's first publicly-owned hydro-electric power station.
Although West Launceston is within walking distance of Launceston's city centre, it's worth noting that it's quite a hill. Once there, you'll discover an abundance of tasty cafes, eclectic boutiques, and lively cocktail bars and pubs. Don't miss out on exploring the city's charming parks, including Princes Square with its historical fountains, and City Park, home to beautiful oak tree gardens, a children's playground, a lush conservatory, and playful snow monkeys.
