Launceston Accommodation

Launceston Accommodaton Location & Access

Residents live amidst tranquil garden settings and have easy access to all on-campus facilities. Your new home is close enough to classes to enable you to prepare lunch or retrieve books between lectures.

An easy 10 minute walk will get you to the Mowbray Shopping Centre, with supermarkets, shops, banks and a post office. You can catch a bus from the campus to the city every 20 minutes.

A 10 minute drive will have you arriving in the City of Launceston, the nation’s third oldest city founded in 1805. The new Launceston Sea Port offers various dining and café facilities along with the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery at Inveresk, which incorporates the Academy of Arts.

One of the city’s most stunning and famous natural features is the Cataract Gorge, where you’ll find walking and hiking tracks, abseiling and rock climbing, lookouts, pool, suspension bridge, Victorian gardens, peacocks and the world’s longest single span chairlift.

Qantas and Virgin Airlines have regular flights into Launceston. Tasmanian Shuttle Bus services operate in Launceston at minimal cost and will drop off at the University Campus.
