If you’re staying in Launceston, there are must-visit places to add to your daily menu.

Stillwater
A Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine award winner in 2016, Stillwater is the quintessential Tasmanian eatery in the prettiest location you ever did see.

Penny Royal Launceston
One for the family. What better combo could you ask for than “adventures and dining” all under one roof? At Penny Royal you can go from restaurant to sailing, café to rock-climbing, or ice creamery to movie night… For the grownups in the group, take a sip of the local wines at Penny Royal’s cellar door or just join in with the kids fossicking in the stream bed for beautiful gem stones after a convict pizza. There is SO much to eat, try, do and explore at this iconic Launceston stop, you might need more than a day to cover it all! Visit the website →
