Launceston's luxury vacation draw card, the Cataract Gorge Reserve, or The Gorge as the locals call it, is a unique natural formation within a two-minute drive of central Launceston - a rare natural phenomenon in any city.
Your Launceston luxury tour will take through a short walk through tree fern glades wandering the English-style park gardens but watch out for wandering peacocks. In 15 minutes you can walk from central Launceston along the banks of the Tamar River into the Gorge. From here you follow a pathway, originally built in the 1890s, along the cliff face, looking down onto the South Esk River.
There's a kiosk, restaurant and swimming pool, rolling lawns and a rotunda, a footbridge and chairlift across the river and wallabies at dusk.
Touring Treasures' Launceston travel service will also help you discover Launcestons' own wine region. The Tamar Valley Wine Region takes you from Launceston through their most productive and best-established wine region. Vines grow on gentle, sloping hills and long mellow autumn days add unique cool-climate flavours to the widely acclaimed wines.
