Close to the stunning Cataract Gorge and on the banks of the Tamar river, the Penny Royal Hotel & Apartments is an ideal place from which to explore northern Tasmania. Originally built as a corn mill in 1840, the hotel was moved 54 kilometers to Launceston and was rebuilt as a hotel over 130 years later - stone by stone. Penny Royal's hotel suites have recently been given a fresh breath of life and are well appointed, extremely comfortable and modern - while still retaining a unique heritage atmosphere. Hotel suites offer guests super comfortable beds and bedding, colour TV, individual room heating, direct dial telephones, hairdryer, iron, tea/coffee making facilities and fridge. Penny Royal's self-catering apartments are a great option for families, groups or those who wish to be more self-sufficient. Apartments are available have full kitchen facilities, lounge room area and are very spacious. Refurbishments will commence on Penny Royal's apartments in 2007. There is plenty of off-street parking for guests - available at no extra charge. Smoking is not permitted in hotel rooms or apartments. Breakfast is served onsite at the Owls Nest Restaurant. Behind the wheel of Penny Royal's corn mill lies Gourlay's Famous Sweets. A visit to Launceston is not complete without indulging in some of Gourlay's delicious hand made chocolates and lollies. Located close by to the hotel, guests will enjoy the beautiful Tamar River, Cataract Gorge, Launceston city centre, Old Seaport Restaurants, Boag's Brewery and many other attractions in Launceston and the Tamar precinct. Shrouded in history, Penny Royal is a beautiful place to stay - where visiting for business or pleasure.
