Stillwater Seven

It’s all a bit ordinary when you arrive - the Stillwater Seven is housed in an old flour mill still boasting its corrugated iron walls. There is plenty of parking close to the main door however and the staff are friendly and helpful. Our sons were in the ground floor unit - the only one suitable for anyone with walking difficulties by the way. Getting to one of the six suites on the upper floor is via fairly steep stairs. Our room overlooking the Tamar River was a good size and despite the modern touches you can still see some charming evidence of the old mill. On the ground floor is the reason the property made a name for itself - the restaurant serves delicious home style meals and an excellent selection of Tassie wines and whisky. All in all we were quite impressed - not just with the restaurant meals but also the breakfast left in the rooms each morning. Crunchy freshly made bread arrived each afternoon - and a bag of still warm croissants was waiting outside the door each morning. There are walking trails nearby by the way (look out for the little coffee shops) and if you are heading to the city centre - it is only about 15 minutes away. Cataract Gorge is not far away either.

Atmospheric, great vibe, a modern renovation of a flour mill on the river in Launceston that has been done with style and flair. World class. So is the Stillwater restaurant downstairs. A walk to the Cataract Gorge hiking trails one way and downtown Launceston the other. Authentic and welcoming staff made us feel right at home. Highly reccommend!

Gorgeous place to stay. Fabulous staff who took great care of us. Brilliant communication too. Be sure to book for dinner. My husband and I who are huge foodies were blown away by the meal, like nothing we had experienced before. The proximity to the Gorge is an enormous draw card too.
