Our take
I would choose Areca Launceston for its hillside position and panoramic views across the city to the Tamar Valley, five minutes on foot from the centre. Rooms are modern with double-glazed windows, air-conditioning and tea and coffee facilities, and WiFi and off-street parking are free. Guests rate it 8.8. Being on a hill, the walk back from town climbs a little, which is worth knowing with small children.
- ✓Choose a room on a higher floor for the best panoramic views of the city and valley
- ✓Walk into the city centre for dinner and explore the local dining scene
- ✓Visit Cataract Gorge, which is only 3 km away, for a natural escape close to the city
