Our take

I would recommend Nightcap at Riverside Hotel to families who want a simple, calm base by the water outside central Launceston. The indoor playground is the standout for children, and the bar, the bistro serving pasta and steaks and the sun terrace cover evenings without driving. Guests rate it 8.2. It sits a short drive from the city centre, so I would plan on having a car.

  • ✓Take advantage of the onsite bistro for convenient family meals after a day of exploring.
  • ✓Let the kids enjoy the indoor playground, especially if you're travelling with younger children.
  • ✓Consider the short drive to Launceston city centre for easy access to attractions while enjoying the hotel's quieter location.

Why guests love it

Nightcap at Riverside Hotel is a 3-star waterfront hotel a short drive from Launceston's city centre, rated 8.2 by guests. I would recommend it to families with young children above all for the indoor playground, which keeps kids busy whatever the weather. The on-site bistro serves lunch and dinner, from pasta to steaks, and the sun terrace is a relaxed place for parents to sit by the water. Rooms are practical rather than stylish.
