Hideaway on George

Hideaway on George offers boutique accommodation at 141A George Street, close to the centre of Launceston. The property is positioned for guests who want to explore the city, with restaurants, cafés, bars, cinemas, theatres, shops, scenic walks and tours described as a short stroll away. It is also set on a quiet internal block, giving guests a more sheltered base away from the noise and traffic of the street.

The rooms are individually styled and designed to feel spacious and comfortable. Accommodation includes Standard Suites and Deluxe Suites, both available with king or twin beds, as well as a recently renovated Two Bedroom Townhouse for guests wanting more room during their stay. The Loft Suite sits above the breakfast room and has attic views across the city, along with a naturally lit private ensuite. These options give the property flexibility for solo travellers, couples, business guests, families and small groups.

Practical inclusions include complimentary Wi-Fi, onsite off-street parking, air conditioning and heating, bathroom amenities and a flat-screen TV. The website notes that continental breakfast is temporarily unavailable, so guests should not expect that service at present. The garden setting, paved paths and ample parking add to the property’s convenience, while its central Launceston location makes it suitable for travellers who would prefer to leave the car behind when visiting nearby city attractions.

Hideaway on George is part of a local, family-owned accommodation business established in 2013 by Bart and Clare Ashcroft. They grew up in Launceston and its surrounds and describe their approach as centred on affordability, quality and comfort. The George Street property was purchased in 2017 and has since undergone extensive renovations and refurbishments. With a focus on a friendly, comfortable stay, it welcomes holidaymakers, corporate travellers, hikers, tour groups, families and visitors from nearby or further afield.
