Launceston Holiday Park Legana

Of course, you could go a bit up-market at Launceston Holiday Park, Legana and book one of the one or two-bedroom Spa Cabins, which as well as having a large spa bath also includes a spacious, covered outdoor area which you can reach through a sliding door from the living room. This cabin additionally boasts a DVD player. A Deluxe has a queen-size bed and is nestled further away from the other cabins, so ideal if you are looking for something a little secluded.

Then again, you could bring a tent to one of the un-powered sites or, for either a tent or camper van, one of the powered parkland pitches. All guests at Launceston Holiday Park, Legana have access to the communal amenities, which include a toilet and shower block, a coin-operated laundry, and a camp kitchen with items such as a refrigerator, a microwave oven, a kettle and a toaster.

Also at the disposal of guests during their stay is a free gas-fired barbecue and a number of hotplates, a games room, a tourist-information point with wired internet access, a sullage point for recreational vehicles, and a kiosk. For anything the park doesn’t provide, a short walk takes you to a branch of Woolworths, a post office, various takeaways and cafes, a bakery, an off-licence, a sports bar, a pharmacy, a service station (which sells LPG) and even a beauty salon.

In addition to Launceston’s famous Cataract Gorge, some of the nearby places that are well worth visiting are Grindelwald Swiss Village, the National Automobile Museum of Tasmania, Tamar wetlands and, for an impressive boat trip, Tamar River Cruises. Wine lovers will like how close the park is to a number of vineyards, including Velo, which is just three doors away.
