Launceston Backpackers

Overlooking Brickfields Reserve, this cavernous Federation-era house is the pick of Launceston's scant budget offerings. Dorms have a mix of bunks and single beds; en-suite doubles have comfy beds. The public areas have copious space, including an industrial-size kitchen. Management is eco-attuned, proudly backing local environmental activities,and it's no party hostel – you’ll be asked to do your drinking elsewhere.
