Host Annette Manley offers a brilliant heritage-listed alternative to inner-city Launceston accommodation. The Federation-style Airlie on the Square is in the very heart of Launceston's central business district and is perfect for business travellers, who can walk from here to most appointments.


But shopaholics and foodies will also love Airlie on the Square as it is near Launceston's central shopping mall (don't forget to explore the little lanes off the mall for some interesting boutiques and music stores) and a plethora of restaurants. Of course, guests will enjoy a hearty continental breakfast before heading off to explore Launceston. Walking through the city to Cataract Gorge National Park is a must-do, stopping on the way for a coffee and browsing the bookshops. Then, visit the Queen Victoria Museum and Gallery, the Seaport and Boags Brewery or watch football at nearby York Park.


Built in 1915 as the private home and surgery of a prominent doctor, Airlie on the Square has been lovingly restored and now offers six ensuite guest rooms, a guest lounge/breakfast room and even a small gym. Enter from the beautiful Civic Square, under the portico entrance, and you'll think you're in another world.
