Everything was perfect during our stay. The check in with was very smooth and we were immediately greeted with Susanna's warm welcome. The room was GORGEOUS. The bed was super comfy and the fireplace not only looked great, but kept the room warm nicely. The room was very spacious and the breakfast was lovely! The property is located in a very central location with many eateries within a short distance, which was perfect for us. We highly recommend and will certainly be staying again. We were so glad to choose this place as our last nights stay for our honeymoon. Great room, great location, great host!!

After working out the door code to get in we found our rooms on the first floor and settled in. Room was clean and whilst bathroom was a bit dated it was ok and workable for a historical house built in 1880. Negotiating stairs is necessary for some rooms. Very nice continental breakfast provided and owner Susanna had a good chat with all the guests there. Bed was comfortable and room was a reasonable size for us.

Tracy Australia

Susan was just lovely! We had arrived from the Spirit of Tasmania overnight ferry early on our day of check in. Susan made the room ready for us at the earliest she could which I thought was just amazing. A beautiful property, great breakfast, rooms and host.

Taylor Australia

It had a warm and friendly atmosphere. Our host was exceptional- could not ask for more.

Property info

Windarra is the original name of this beautiful heritage listed home built in 1880 by a prominent Launceston family. The name is aboriginal and means west winds, which is the prevailing wind direction here. Our rooms have all recently been refurbished, as has the reception and dining areas, this of course a continual process, and we have mixed the heritage feel with a modern twist. Windarra is located within walking distance to the city centre, on High Street, sitting alongside many other beautiful homes and only a short drive to all the wonderful tourist attractions, such as the Cataract Gorge, and the Tamar wine region. With the airport a short 15 minutes away, Windarra is the perfect starting point for your Tassie holiday. We cater for couples, families and small groups and our room rate includes continental breakfast served in our lovely dining room. And yes, we are a non-smoking property

Neighborhood info

East Launceston is the most prestigious area in Launceston, and is not only walking distance to the city, but it is a very quiet and safe area, with plenty of parks and cafes. We enjoy both views to the city and Tamar valley as well as to the mountain ranges. High Street is on a direct route to the airport which is only 15 minutes by car.
