Welcome to Thrower Cottage, your delightful home nestled amidst a touch of urban wilderness. Perfectly located, you're just a leisurely stroll away from the iconic Cataract Gorge and a mere 5-minute drive to the heart of the city. Parking?

The Neighborhood

The stunning suburb of West Launceston is extremely special and unique, combining residential elements with the best of Tasmania’s beautiful wilderness. Burrowed in the rolling hills are the original, federation style homes, many of which have been sympathetically renovated, carefully integrating modern touches, whilst maintaining their original designs and charm. The suburb's lovely location overlooks the Launceston Valley, boasting spectacular city views from all angles. Whether you are enjoying the warm, morning sun, or the beautiful starry skies and city lights, West Launceston provides the perfect space for you to relax and experience the best that Launceston has to offer.

There is an IGA supermarket found within West Launceston to cater to all your grocery needs, along with the delicious Cuccina Cafe, providing beautiful breakfast and lunch options to you throughout your stay.


The Cataract Gorge is found right at your doorstep. Here you will find a spectacular natural formation where you can enjoy long and short walks, fresh water swimming basins, the world's longest single-span chairlift, a play area, BBQ’s and vibrant peacocks! An additional, unique way to experience this attraction is via the Tamar Cruise vessel, which cruises through the waters that carve between the rocky formations. The Gorge Restaurant serves lunch and dinner in an intimate dining setting. Choose to dine inside next to the fireplace, or sit amongst the fresh Tasmanian wilderness and wildlife in the alfresco dining area.

Whilst visiting, we would recommend visiting the Duck Reach Power Station, Australia’s first publicly-owned hydro-electric power station.

West Launceston is walking distance to Launceston’s city centre, although it is quite the hill. Within the city, you will have access to many tasty cafés and restaurants, an array of shops and boutiques and a vast range of cocktail bars and pubs. There are many local parks dotted throughout the city including Princes Square, full of historical fountains, and the City Park which is known for its beautiful oak tree gardens, playground for the children, a plant-filled conservatory and cheeky snow monkeys.

Walking distance to Cataract Gorge; clean, spacious and comfortable.

Handy location and good facilities. Max was very thorough with check-in communication and welcoming. Dishwasher wasn’t working but not a huge issue. We were a group of 9 (extended family) so there was great spaces to socialise and also get some ‘space’. Mum has MS so she did struggle with the internal staircase, but we knew that may be the case. Beds really comfy and impressed by the laundry amenities and complimentary liquids or powder. Shower on mid level could spray on floor easily with small screen but if angled more towards tiled wall wasn’t and issue.Overall, clean and comfortable abode.
