A simple stay in the heart of Launceston 🖤🤍✨

21/09/2026

Launceston is one of those cities that’s best explored on foot. 👣

Wander down a laneway you might otherwise miss, look up at the grand old buildings, stumble across a piece of street art and hear a few local stories along the way.

A guided walking tour gives you a different look at the city, from its history and architecture to the characters and stories that have shaped it.

And the best bit? Once the tour is over, you’ll know exactly which streets you want to wander back down for a second look. 😉
