Launceston – Tasmania’s Charming Second City ✨

Our stay at 🏨—the only high-rise in the area—offered stunning views! The hotel fronts a riverside playground, making it perfect for families. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Along the river, dining options abound, but Mudbar Restaurant 🍽️ stood out as the rare late-night spot (though last orders still close by 9pm 😅). Pro tip? Skip the fish & chips—everything else, from burgers to pizza 🍔🍕, is absolutely delicious! Compared to bustling Hobart, Launceston feels quieter, more relaxed, yet still beautifully modern. The unhurried pace, uncrowded streets, and laid-back vibe make it ideal for a family getaway. ⛱️ Why we loved it: • Serene cityscape 🌆 with just the right mix of charm and convenience • Kid-friendly spaces 🎠 along the scenic Tamar River • A taste of Tasmania without the crowds – pure bliss! 😌 #Launceston #Tasmania #AustraliaTravel #HiddenGems #FamilyVacay #DownUnderDiaries 🇦🇺🦘
