Everything and much more
Two great nights at Topiary Haven (should be “Heaven”) was the best possible way to start our Tasmanian holiday. The host was very friendly, the place was absolutely spotless, and had everything we needed and more.
It’s a great spot, close to the city and Cataract Gorge - but also a great place to relax in.
Definitely THE place to stay in Launceston- we will be back!

Lovely Launceston
Beautiful little space for a couple and child. We only had one night here but you could easily spend weeks here with all the thoughtful additions Diana has put into her guest accommodation. A small walk through a beautiful garden leads you to your accommodation which is of high quality fit out. Location is great just 5 minutes from the city centre and is very close to the gorge and other attractions. The included breakfast was great with fresh local ingredients and really set us up for the day. Loved the stay.
