Launceston Backpackers

In the heart of Launceston CBD, a stone’s throw from Launceston College and Royal Park. Walk to Cataract Gorge Reserve, Penny Royal Adventures, Brisbane Street Mall and the Queen Victoria Museum. A budget-friendly backpacker hostel base for exploring northern Tasmania — Launceston Airport is about 14 km away.

Set in a 100-year-old Victorian building with 30 rooms, from dorms to doubles (some ensuite). Expect roomy communal zones: a large commercial kitchen, TV lounge and separate dining room. Garden views and a sociable, no-fuss vibe make it a classic backpacker pick.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property, a garden, tour/ticket assistance and laundry facilities. Large communal kitchen for self-catering, luggage storage and a modern fire protection system keep things practical. Staff can help book local excursions and basic wellness support (doctor service) is available.

Free self-parking on site, luggage storage and guest laundry. Front desk is staffed during limited hours.

Cook your own meals in the large commercial kitchen and eat in the communal dining room — ideal for social, budget-friendly dining and meeting fellow travellers.
