Thankyou for such a wonderful stay! We enjoyed a very relaxing break in beautiful surrounds, and would love to return on our next visit to Launceston.

WOW, what can we say about our stay? We had the most relaxing stay. Enjoyed the quiet and luxury of the property. Also wished we had more days to see this beautiful state.

The ultimate art-infused weekend away…Dynamic Launceston couple Jack and Rebecca Birrell, an architect and graphic designer respectively, have breathed new life into the National Estate-registered High St guesthouse, boldy combining colonial and contemporary design.

Thank you for a beautiful stay in a very special place. It was a wonderful way to end our travels in the picturesque Tasmania. We will certainly be recommending this very special accommodation to anyone who is coming to Launceston and we hope to be back one day.

Thankyou Rebecca! I’m sitting on the balcony as I write this…A beautiful view across Launceston which is full of spring, such a beautiful time of year to enjoy this state. Your Ballroom was beautiful and suited us to a tee! We wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the beautiful garden. Congratulations for creating an amazing place for us travellers to experience.

After a challenging round at spectacular Barnbougle Dunes Golf Course we meandered on towards Launceston, Historic Hatherley House awaited us, what a wonderful treat. Old fashioned elegance and grace fused with fabulous luxurious ‘mod cons’ were a perfect mix. It struck me as a quiet and private oasis. We stayed in the Ballroom Suite, its dance theme features a magnificent modern mural. There was plenty of room to dance if the spirit moved you.  After a well earned spa, we enjoyed the mountain views with a drink on the balcony before strolling into the city for dinner. The area is known as Launceston’s Rose Bowl and it’s easy to see why. The historic gardens and leafy parks were bursting with colour. Delicious Tassie food and wine were plentiful, everything from quirky cafes to innovative 5 star dining. ‘Pierre’s’ on George St was our pick from many great looking choices. After our stay we were sorry to be leaving Hatherley, it had charmed us with it’s art, architecture and comfort. In a word superb. We’ll be back.

Ah, The Ballroom! What an elegant and stylish suite. We’ve been very impressed with Hatherley: a superb mix of the heritage with contemporary. And superb breakfast – loved the fruit bread and the berries! Thanks! let’s hope we’re able to return soon!
