Tried & Tested: Stillwater Seven in Launceston

Stillwater Seven, a hidden gem housed in the historic flour mill on Launceston's waterfront, right next to the stunning Cataract Gorge. This 5-star accommodation is not your average hotel. From the moment you step inside, you'll be greeted with warm hospitality that makes you feel right at home.

The design of Stillwater seamlessly blends contemporary luxury with the rustic charm of its surroundings. The historic architecture, featuring timber, stone, and glass elements, pays homage to the region's heritage. Inside, the interiors are carefully curated to create a comfortable and stylish atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease.

 Stillwater Seven rooms are carefully designed to showcase the features of the building but with all the luxuries you require. Opening in 2019, they have received national accolades for design and, most importantly, their service. Stillwater Seven’s personalised service from the hotel team is second to none, with rooms tailored to your preferences. Filled to the brim with Tasmanian produce, wine, beer, cheese, spirits, books and furnishings, Stillwater Seven is a great place to eat, sleep and drink and a great base for you to explore the beautiful Tamar Valley region.

The seven rooms come in "premium", "deluxe" and "courtyard" levels. Ours is deluxe, and it merits the claim with terrific river views out the windows, a very comfortable king-size bed and a large bathroom with a walk-in shower. 

But the culinary delights don't stop there. The dining experience at Stillwater is an event in itself. The restaurant, with its elegant setting and breathtaking views, takes you on a culinary journey that celebrates the best flavors of the region.
