This house has 4 bedrooms -2 have queen size beds, one has a set of bunk beds and one has two single beds.

Hawthorn House is conveniently located in the Launceston suburb of Invermay. It is a short walk or ride to many venues. UTas Stadium, the home of The Hawks when in Tassie, is 2 blocks away. The Seaport area contains a boardwalk along the Tamar River and a variety of cafes and restaurants with car parking. The Aquatic Centre is a fun family affair where you can swim or sit and keep an eye on your children. Pools have beach entry. A licensed restaurant is on site or use the cafe poolside for lighter meals, ice cream, lovely hot chips and hot and cold drinks. The City Park provides an area for children to let off steam and use up that energy at the playground which has a BBQ area too. In February the City Park hosts Festivale, a celebration of Tasmanian food and drink. Churchill Park/Heritage Forest is a large area nearby where you can take a pleasant walk and end up at the children's play area and BBQ's are undercover.

The best Home away from home
Arrived early, not a problem. Met Lorraine who was very helpful. The Home is just stunning. I call it a home not a house, you feel that this is your home, there was not one thing I could see that anybody could complain about. When we holiday in Tassie again, which we certainly will we will base ourselves at Hawthorn House. Thank you again Lorraine, this property exceeded all our expectations,

Superb House for a family stay
Hawthorn House was completely as advertised..beautifully clean and well appointed with lovely amenities. The house was close to everything in Launceston and the off street parking and security was excellent. The beds were comfortable and the house was warm and toasty when we arrived. The recommendations for local places to eat were helpful, the WIFI enough to please teenagers and a fully equipped laundry super helpful. We were really happy with our stay. We would return in a heartbeat and cannot recommend highly enough.

A fabulous gem!
Coming down for the footy and wanting to stay close by, this house did not disappoint. Had everything we needed to enjoy a comfortable stay and a pleasant stroll to UTAS Stadium was just what we wanted. Avoid booking a hotel room and check this place out. The owner even had the electric blankets going so our beds were toasty warm!

Gracious, elegant and tastefully furnished
Hawthorne House is just gorgeous. With its internal architecture echoing a bygone era that embodies the gracious character of Launceston, this house is full of old-world charm, complemented by the tasteful incorporation of quirky nostalgia. The owners spared no effort in ensuring that our needs were not only met but surpassed, with meticulous attention to countless delightful details that enhanced the overall charm. Even the little touches of Australian themes were delightful. We were there just after Christmas, and festive additions adorned shelves and mantelpieces, all adding to the experience. In addition to complimentary biscuits and chocolates, so many basics were also provided (sauces, cooking oils, milk, etc) that meant we didn’t need to buy these items and cart them around for the rest of our Tasmania holiday. There is safe parking around the back of the house, and plenty of room to manoeuvre the car around. If you have kids, there is a bedroom full of toys and things for the kids. There are just so many little additions that show how carefully the owners have thought about what people need and want during their holiday. The house is close to the city centre. Just a ten-minute walk away (or 2 minutes by car) is the main stop for the free Tiger buses which will take you on any of three different routes to explore Launceston and its surroundings. We hope to visit Launceston again in the future, and if we do, we will most definitely be booking Hawthorne House again.

THE AGE OF TASMANIA
This house is very spacious with ample comfort throughout although the heat didn't work so well in the main bedroom... in general it felt like it was furnished in the 1800s (plus a few nice modern touches) but that added to its charm - we would atay here again and/or recommend it to others...
