In recent times Invermay has become arguably Launceston’s trendiest suburb due to it’s convenient location and gorgeous character homes juxtaposed with an industrial vibe. With real estate prices rivalling Launceston’s leafy green and established white collar suburbs, Invermay’s working class roots are becoming a thing of the past. It’s important to note that parts of Invermay are industrial and Forster Street is a main road where the traffic can be noisy in the early weekday mornings. If you are a light sleeper who enjoys sleeping in this may not be the locale for you. Most Launcestonians travel by car. There is parking at the front of the property and there is generally no problems with keeping your spot except for AFL game days. Aurora stadium, the city and UTAS Inveresk campus are all within easy walking distance however there is a good bus service into the city in nearby Invermay Road. Try Blue Social and Me Wah Restaurant- both close by and neither will disappoint. I recommend making a booking in advance. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming cats and dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 55 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,507 square feet ## Similar properties ![3 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/102000000/101960000/101955500/101955478/845a4c1f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Three-Story Haven River Views & Near Gorge Launceston CBD - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.0 Wonderful 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=101955478&PinnedHotelID=101955478&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![TV, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109030000/109020600/109020592/355764d4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Elizabeth Elegence: A Dreamy Federation Cottage Launceston CBD - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 4 reviews CA $208 CA $566 total includes taxes & fees Feb 3 - Feb 4 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-03&endDate=2026-02-04&selected=109020592&PinnedHotelID=109020592&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109190000/109187300/109187293/f42b7502.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cable’s Landing, heritage home near the Gorge Trevallyn - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet friendly 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews CA $307 CA $482 total includes taxes & fees Jan 8 - Jan 9 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-08&endDate=2026-01-09&selected=109187293&PinnedHotelID=109187293&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82380000/82375900/82375803/032a72eb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Impressively Spacious, Modern & Convenient Newstead - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=82375803&PinnedHotelID=82375803&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82490000/82489800/82489736/ebda38ac.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gorgeous on Gleadow Invermay - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Outdoor Space 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-19&endDate=2026-01-20&selected=82489736&PinnedHotelID=82489736&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88520000/88513300/88513248/e26ab670.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cottage on King.

Sep 21, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Kitchen modern: Bathroom modern but there is a musty smell. The rest of the house did not feel quaint: it was just old and old-fashioned, especially the dining room.We had been warned that the stairs are steep. However, we had not been warned that although the bedroom is upstairs, the bathroom is downstairs. For a lady of a certain age (me) who needs to go several times during the night, going crabwise half asleep was rather confronting. ##### Michele J B.
