Once upon a time, the Quality Hotel Colonial Launceston was a Victorian school. Remnants of time gone by and original fixtures are still present for guests to soak in history. One can just imagine games of cricket being played on the then school grounds, or students gathering in the Big School Room for an assembly, which is now home to the brasserie!
Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen led the first expedition to reach the South Pole in 1911. On his return from Antarctica, Amundsen anchored off Hobart where he was to send a telegram with the big news. He booked a room at Hadley’s Orient Hotel, and today visitors can stay in the very same room, known as the Amunden Suite!

Situated in the west coast region, Frenchmans Cap is a mountain in the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. Named by convicts in the 1820s, Frenchmans Cap became an emblem for grand adventure, possible escape, and danger. Modern day travellers are lucky enough to have nearby towns such as Tarraleah and Derwent Bridge where they may comfortably rest their heads before venturing out on this brave climb.
Tourism in the Cradle Mountain region began as early as the 1890s, well before modern-day luxury accommodations were present. One of the first places to stay for visitors on Lake St. Clair was a house and boat shed build by Governor Hamilton.

Using Tasmania.com to organise our holiday was a great move. Traci was so helpful, the whole process so easy and we had the best trip! Highly recommended, really didn’t have to do any planning of our own, everything was covered for us with so many suggestions of things to do, places to eat etc.

I went on a 7-day Tassie exploring self-guided tour with Tasmania.com, and it has been a great experience. The plan was detailed with lots of options. Accommodation and car rent were good, and the staff were friendly. We were taken care of from the beginning until the end, so I highly recommend others traveling to Tassie to try the website.

We usually arrange our own itineraries when travelling, however, the arrangements Jacki suggested and then arranged, proved to be so helpful. I would definitely use Jacki again in the future.

Thanks to Cheryle we had a wonderful 4 1/2 days in Tasmania. Everything went to plan beautifully, and the weather could not have been better, especially for our 3 days of golf at Barnbougle. Our room at Lost Farm, the food at both Lost Farm and The Dunes, the upgraded hire car and the morning golf tee-off times - all details were organised to perfection. A huge thank you from both of us.
