A great location, a gorgeous old building, close to the heart of Launceston. Great restaurants and parks close by, with on site parking, it all made for a lovely stay. A warm welcome from the staff and a lovely big room overlooking the park and river in the distance made for a most enjoyable stay.

beautifully well kept and modernised but limited reception - more like a B & B
Photos of rooms are deceiving - they look a LOT larger than the actual rooms are
10/10 for cleanliness

Very good value for money for such a tranquil and beautiful place with very spacious room. Parking our Hilux was a bit challenging, but it didn’t take away from the overall charm of the experience. Highly recommended.

Waratah on York is one of my favourite places to stay in Launceston. Beautiful, large rooms, comfortable beds, sensational showers & wonderful staff. Close enough to walk everywhere - just be warned, it is on a hill!
