Tamar River Villas
It’s good value for money here, with budget self-contained rooms, all just a few minutes’ drive from the Central Business District of Launceston.
A two-bedroom apartment is furnished with a queen bed and two singles. It is also possible, on request, to have an additional pull-out sofa bed. Each apartment has a balcony, some with a view of the river. Alternatively, you could stay in a studio apartment, also with a queen bed plus a single. There is the possibility of having adjoining studios for those travelling in a larger group.
Whichever option you go for at Tamar River Villas, you have your own bathroom with a shower (and a bath in some cases), heating and air conditioning, cable and satellite television plus free Austar, wireless and dial-up internet (free with vouchers given to guests), a kitchen with a full-size refrigerator, a microwave oven, a stove top and oven, a toaster, tea and coffee-making equipment, and a free newspaper. Other features include an iron and ironing board, a clock radio, a hair dryer, room service daily or weekly, a spacious lounge area and the availability of a cot a high chair and a baby bath.
Linens and towels are provided for all guests, and some extras that can be requested include a dining setting, free in-house movies, electric blankets and a spa bath. Free parking is available, and Tamar River Villas have laundry and dry-cleaning services for guests. The whole place is a non-smoking property and particularly child-friendly, being located Kids Paradise and Tailrace Park, the latter with children’s playground. Tailrace is also a good choice for its conference and wedding facilities, while other options a stone’s throw from the villas include a barbecue area, a board walk by the river, a boat ramp and a fishing pontoon.
Cataract Gorge is obviously the first place to visit if you have not been to Launceston before. Other attractions worth taking a look at include Penny Royal Adventures, the 1842 Museum and Tasmania Zoo. The villas are just to the north of Launceston, so if you are not travelling by car then you can make use of the good public-transport system and take a bus in, although it is not all that far to cover the distance on foot.
