Charming colonial stay with windmill views in Launceston

#summervacay #tasmaniatravel #june2025 Staying at Leisure Inn Penny Royal felt like stepping into a storybook. Nestled beside the Tamar River at 1 Bridge Rd, Launceston, this heritage-style accommodation blends rustic charm with convenience. The standout? A beautifully preserved Penny Royal Windmill, quietly photogenic at golden hour—perfect for your summer feed. Behind the inn lies a compact but fun adventure park, great for families or anyone looking for light thrills—rope bridges, rock climbing, and even a boat ride along a faux convict trail. I didn’t participate, but the setting alone made for a picturesque morning walk. Travel tip: It’s a short drive from Launceston city centre, and parking is easy. If you’re on foot, the Tamar walking trail passes nearby and makes a scenic detour. Best visited in the late afternoon when the windmill glows and the tourist crowd thins out. This place is a perfect mix of comfort and character. Even if you don’t stay overnight, drop by for a walk and your next favorite photo.
