Launceston, Tasmania
Protea Hill offers luxury B&B accommodation at a perfect location. Very quiet and yet very close to the city of Launceston. Especially the cottage in the garden offers you all the privacy you want.


Guest Reviews

"The privacy and the breakfast provisions - loved the fresh strawberries & raspberries. Owners were great and even considered our needs in bringing over a fan when the weather turned hot. Convenience of location was excellent as were the views. Homemade biscuits were a real treat.
Loved it. "

"The only problems with Protea Hill was the lack of adequate living space for four adults and the absence of cooking facilities other than a microwave oven. The service provided by our hosts was very good and the view was fantastic. The property is also very well located with regard to Launceston and it's attractions."

"The cottage was wonderful! Very private with a nice view of the Tamar River. The grounds were lovely with beautiful trees, plants and flowers. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The deck was a pleasant place to sit in the evening or have a cup of coffee in the morning. I would recommend this cottage highly and the price was very reasonable. "

"Brilliant accommodation - the best place we stayed in Tasmania - as new ground floor rooms with magnificent gardens and view over the river from front, quiet, not far from city centre, with lovely hosts. Our breakfast was a real country style affair with homemade bread and fresh fruit from the garden. "
