When 19th century travellers travelled 13km out of Launceston, they gladly stopped at the Red Feather for a drink, accommodation and a friendly welcome. These days Launceston is just 15 minutes away by car and the 1840s Red Feather Inn is still a haven but with a decadently luxurious French Provincial feel.

Mellow sandstone walls and an uncomplicated Georgian exterior hide the suites and rooms decked out in exquisite French Provincial antiques. The two-room suites are incredibly indulgent, while the other rooms are no less gorgeous. Downstairs there's a rustic dining room and lounge leading onto a garden and the beautifully restored old stone barn (perfect for corporate retreats, small conferences and weddings).

With an ambience straight out of a designer magazine and the warmth of an historic inn, the Red Feather is perfect for couples or groups wanting exclusivity and understated elegance. One of our favourite new Tassie finds.
