Magnolia House: Near the Cataract Gorge & Parking

Summary:
Welcome to "Magnolia House," a delightful 1940s gem nestled in a peaceful neighborhood. This charming home is perfect for families or groups looking to experience the best of Tasmania. Just moments away, the spectacular Cataract Gorge awaits.

Despite its peaceful surroundings, the vibrant CBD is conveniently close, offering easy access to the city's attractions. Inside, you'll be delighted by the spacious interiors, picturesque views, and inviting patio, making it an entertainer's dream.

The Space:
As you arrive, you will be greeted by the delightful exterior of this eye-catching, renovated beauty. Walk up with small exterior staircase and make your way into the hallway.

The king bedroom, located to your left, features a luxurious king-sized bed adorned with plush bedding, gorgeous views and a generous built-in wardrobe.

On the right side of the hallway, the beautiful queen bedroom awaits, boasting a comfortable queen bed, a free-standing clothes rack, and breathtaking views of the city, Ben Lomond Mountain, and the valley through the front bay window with seating.

Relax in the spacious living area, where the toasty gas fireplace invites you to unwind. Enjoy your favorite TV shows on the smart TV while the kids have their own dedicated play area thoughtfully furnished with seating, plenty of toys, and delightful touches to keep them entertained. The comfortable sofa conveniently doubles as a fold-out double bed for additional sleeping space.

The bathroom, accessible from the hallway, offers a peaceful retreat with its combined bath-shower, perfect for indulging in a soothing soak after a long day. For added privacy, a separate toilet is conveniently located adjacent to the bathroom.

Next door, you'll find the third bedroom, featuring a cozy queen bed and a generous built-in wardrobe.

At the end of the hallway, you'll discover the open kitchen-dining space. Prepare delicious meals in the fully appointed kitchen, equipped with modern appliances, cutlery, crockery and cook wear.

Gather around the 6-person dining table in the spacious dining room while enjoying the view of the backyard space through the sliding doors. Delight in the variety of board games and reading materials provided for your enjoyment.

Connected to the dining space, lies the fourth bedroom, conveniently housing a bunk bed with a double bed on the bottom level, a single bed on the top, and a single, pull-out trundle beneath.

The laundry is additionally connected to this space, featuring a washing machine, dryer, and all other laundry essentials for your convenience.

Step onto the expansive patio area through the sliding doors and discover a large alfresco dining space with a shade sail and fully fenced backyard. The landscaped gardens and lawn area provide the perfect space for kids to play while you enjoy a barbecue and take in the spectacular mountain views from the wrap-around decks.

Guest Access:
You are invited to use the space as your own, and have full access to the property.

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.
