Kurrajong House

Launceston


This fastidiously run B&B in a handsome 1879 house offers five rooms in the main house and a self-contained cottage in the former stables. The Adelaide room is huge, while the Emily room sports a glass chandelier. The pitch is squarely towards 'mature' guests (no kids…and no under-21s), and a cooked breakfast is served inside a sunny extension.
