Welcome to Charm on Forster — a thoughtfully restored Federation townhouse in the heart of Invermay, just a gentle walk from cafés, local eats, UTAS Inveresk and Aurora Stadium.
Here, you’ll find a space that feels lived-in and welcoming — not staged. Warm timber floors, a sunlit courtyard and a well-equipped kitchen set the tone for slow mornings, relaxed dinners and lingering mugs of coffee.
This townhouse sleeps up to 9, with two generous bedrooms and a comfy sofa bed in the living area. Fresh linens, good Wi-Fi, and thoughtful touches throughout mean you can arrive and relax, whether you’re here for work, family time or a weekend unwind.
Quiet, easy living is at the heart of what we offer — the courtyard invites afternoon sun, the kitchen welcomes simple cooking, and the living room is perfect for easy evenings together. If you travel with pets, bring them along — there’s space for everyone.
Walkable to local favourites and gentle strolls into Launceston’s CBD, this spot makes it easy to explore at your pace. Then come home, pull up a chair in the courtyard and sink into the kind of calm only a slow getaway can deliver.
Please note: This is a two-storey Federation townhouse with internal stairs. All bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs.
We’ve included photos and a floor plan in the listing so you can see the layout clearly. If mobility is a concern, or stairs aren’t ideal for your group, please consider whether this setup will suit you before booking.
Please note that the property is rented on a per-guest basis. To receive an accurate quote for your stay, ensure you enter the correct number of guests in your search.
Other things to note Try Blue Social and Me Wah Restaurant- both close by and neither will disappoint. I recommend making a booking in advance. After a quick, honest and tasty takeaway? The iconic Bizy Bee will hit the spot (67-69 Invermay Rd, Invermay).

Thank you so much, David! It was a pleasure hosting you and Carly. I’m really glad you enjoyed the space and the location — and thank you for your lovely words about cleanliness and the welcome. You were wonderful guests and are welcome back anytime.
Safe travels and thanks again for staying at Charm on Forster.
Loved this property, great central location, never had trouble parking, kitchen was well equipped and very thoughtful with everything provided. We noticed they even had pet food bowls available for guests who may be travelling with pets! The house was accurately described and host was very easy to reach! Will definitely stay again.
Everything we needed was supplied and house was very clean and welcoming. We did not access National Park so can't rate. Host was exceptionally friendly and a great communicator

Thank you, Elizabeth. You were a wonderful guest — great communication, respectful of the home, and I really appreciated your flexibility in allowing landscaper access. You’re welcome back anytime!
Tracey was very helpful with a change in our booking. Easy to enter property and it’s central to all things in Launy. The heaters were on for our arrival, so the periphery was toasty and warm!
Perfectly located to access all on offer in Launceston.Parking right out front so helpful.A tardis inside, opening to beautifully appointed rooms. Quality fittings and fixtures offer every convenience. Thoughtfully and sensitively restored to ensure guest comfort. Convivial host. Absolutely recommend.

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.

Thank you for your feedback. For clarity, the property layout – with bedrooms upstairs and the bathroom downstairs – is clearly outlined in the listing description and reflected in the photos. Many of our guests enjoy the Federation character of the home combined with its modern kitchen and bathroom, as noted in numerous positive reviews.
We were surprised by your comments, particularly as the property was left in need of an unusually thorough clean after your stay. While we regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, we are confident the listing and past guest reviews provide an accurate representation of the property.
