Located on the Tamar River, where the North and South Esk Rivers meet, Launceston has maintained its links to the past, with its Victorian heritage reflected in the architecture and streetscapes of the city. Known as ‘Tasmania’s Living Heritage’ the city’s history is showcased through long established parklands and gardens, with European elms and oaks a main feature. Combining historical aspects with new and vibrant designs, Peppers Seaport Hotel takes its character from its waterfront marina, providing accommodation with superb views of the rivers towards Cataract Gorge. Built on the site of an old dry dock, the hotel has been designed in the shape of a ship and offers 60 accommodation rooms and suites.
