Fodor's Expert Review Waratah on York

12 York St., Launceston, Tasmania, 7250, Australia

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

Built in 1862, this grand Italianate mansion has been superbly restored with spacious modern rooms tastefully decorated to reflect the era in which the building was constructed; six rooms have hot tubs. Many rooms have panoramic views over the Tamar, and the property is just a quick walk from the city center. Continental and hot breakfasts are served in the elegant dining room.
