The Dragonfly Inn
Beautiful heritage accommodation in West Launceston with modern decoration and comforts, you can have everything from a two-person en-suite room to a two-bedroom cottage with a real fireplace, with some extra goodies you can upgrade to…
Rooms and self-contained cottages sleep two to four, with queen and king beds (a four-poster in fact if you book the deluxe!), bedding, soap, shampoo and conditioner, towels, heating, electric blankets, a television with a DVD player, wireless internet, a balcony, a fridge, a kettle, a toaster, tea, coffee, milk and, for a surcharge, an excellent breakfast basket.
When it comes to specific types of room at The Dragonfly Inn, there are ones with a full kitchen or a smaller kitchenette, a spa bath, studios, an extra bedroom and a real fireplace. There is even a Deluxe rate which permits earlier checking in and checking out, continental breakfast for two, a bottle of Tasmanian wine, top-ups if you are booking the cottage with the wood fire and you have the beds made up for you and the towels replaced daily.
This heritage property combines the old external style with modern decorations inside. The owners see The Dragonfly Inn as somewhere between a traditional hotel and a traditional bed and breakfast. Parking is free, a bag-drop service is available for a surcharge, and when you go into your room at this pet-free establishment you can find a welcome pack with information on various things to do while you are staying in Launceston.
Among those activities is of course a visit to the breathtaking Cataract Gorge, the intriguing Penny Royal Adventures – complete with zip wire and rock-climbing opportunities, the immaculately-kept lawns of City Park and, for a view from a different angle, Tamar River Cruises. Launceston is of course full of great restaurants, bars and restaurants, plus a farmers’ market and at least two shopping malls in the centre of the city.
Located in Launceston CBD, this bed & breakfast is within 1 mi (2 km) of Launceston College and Cataract Gorge. Queen Victoria Museum and Royal Park are also within 1 mi (2 km).
Along with a microwave in a common area, this bed & breakfast has a library and express check-out. Free WiFi in public areas and free self parking are also provided. Other amenities include a garden.
All 9 rooms offer free WiFi, coffee makers, and flat-screen TVs with digital channels. Guests will also find DVD players, hair dryers, and ironing boards.
Generous tray of continental breakfast items! Hosts Tom & Bec were awesome! Loved the eco-conscious toiletries & bathroom amenities! Sunset drinks at the balcony made the place so homely and down-to-earth!
Our over all experience was total satisfaction in every respect, including the sumptuous breakfast, comfy bed, and the pleasure of speaking to our hosts who are doing an outstanding job, including the restoration of such a magnificent historic building. We wish them both well in the future and would highly recommend to the most fastidious guests.
