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.

Waratah on York is the perfect place to stay if you like old world charm with the convenience of a contemporary bathroom. The staff were supper helpful with suggestions on where to find a delicious meal or tourist attractions. As mentioned in previous reviews, the outside and inside steps may be a challenge for elderly or disabled guests but there are rooms downstairs so be sure to mention any medical conditions on booking and I am sure Pia will be happy to assist you. Memorable stay. Thank you.

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.
