If you’re in the market for a sea change, you may even find the next suburb to call home. sitchu.com.au/suburb-guides Stillwater Set within a beautifully restored flour mill on the banks of the Kanamaluka/Tamar River, Stillwater is one of Launceston’s crown jewels — equal parts fine diner and relaxed riverside hideaway. You can go all in on a long lunch, or simply drop by for a glass of something local and a few bites that flirt with perfection. Harvest Market Harvest Market is one of Launceston’s best Saturday morning rituals, bringing the region’s farmers, growers and makers into the city each week. Start with breakfast from a food van and coffee from Ritual Coffee, then work your way through stalls piled with local produce, cheese, meat, nuts, vegetables, mushrooms, flowers, gin and cider. Bread + Butter This Launceston bakery-cafe makes sourdough and small-batch butter in-house, with Tasmanian Butter Company working on site and Single O coffee keeping pace. 70 Elizabeth Street, Launceston EAT DRINK 2 Bridge Road, Launceston Felix Espresso & Wine This day-to-night Launceston address moves between coffee, fresh pasta, small plates, cocktails and well-chosen wine with an ease that feels distinctly Tasmanian: produce-led, warm-blooded and never too pleased with itself. 4/112 Cimitiere Street, Launceston @breadandbuttertasmania The Florance Set within a restored Victorian villa opposite City Park, this arts precinct stay places the CBD within easy reach while keeping the mood distinctly calm. Heritage details, garden outlooks and a light-filled conservatory give it a softer, more personal charm than a standard hotel. Opposite Launceston City Park, Launceston 71 Cimitiere Street, Launceston @mrshashasss @harvest_launceston @felixlaunceston @theflorancetas PLAY A short walk from the city, this cliff-edged reserve cuts along the South Esk River with walking trails, peacocks, pademelons, a swimming pool and enough drama to make the CBD feel oddly far away. Cross the suspension bridge, follow the paths to lookouts, or take the chairlift above First Basin for the full sweep of rock, water and green. Cataract Gorge 74-90 Basin Road, West Launceston SITCHU MAGAZINE
