Leisure Inn Penny Royal, Launceston

Leisure Inn Penny Royal offers accommodation in Launceston with a location that suits visitors wanting access to the city and nearby attractions. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from the Launceston CBD and sits beside the Tamar River, with Cataract Gorge also close by. That makes it a practical base for exploring the city, taking in the river setting or combining a stay with time at Penny Royal Adventure Park.

Rooms are set up with comfort and convenience in mind, with bedding, smart TVs, tea and coffee facilities and free WiFi included. Some rooms look towards the river or Penny Royal Adventure Park. For travellers wanting more space, the accommodation includes both hotel suites and self-contained apartments, giving guests a choice suited to a short visit or a longer stay. The website presents the property as suitable for both business and leisure travel.

A key point of difference is the adventure park located onsite in the hotel grounds. Penny Royal Adventure Park is described as Tasmania’s only theme park, with activities for children as well as attractions aimed at adults. Its offerings include a barge ride that explores the site’s history, a gondola-style chairlift and ten rope walks suspended over the cliffs. This makes the property a particularly convenient option for families and thrill-seekers, while the nearby river and gorge provide a different pace for visitors looking for outdoor scenery.

There are also several food and drink venues associated with the Penny Royal setting. Alida Restaurant focuses on modern Australian cooking and sources its meat, seafood and produce from Tasmanian producers, while Kings Bridge Bar & Restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner in spaces including a front bar, a conservatory room and a courtyard. Brady’s Tavern has a traditional old-English pub style, with Tasmanian beers, wines and spirits alongside woodfired pizza. Together, these options give guests places to eat or have a drink without needing to plan every outing away from the accommodation. With its mix of rooms, apartments, onsite attractions and nearby Launceston landmarks, Leisure Inn Penny Royal is best suited to families, couples, solo travellers and business guests seeking a central stay with plenty close at hand.
