Levee Food Co never disappoints. We tend to go here with the kids or larger groups. The menu is a crowd pleaser and the meals are generous and fairly priced. Levee Food Co is also located along the Board Walk which offers great views down the Tamar River.

Along with being the place to eat with some of the most picturesque views in Launceston, Stonesthrow also gives visitors a taste of the country with animal encounters, beautiful natural walks around the lakes and bushland, farm fresh produce used in the cafe and house-made products to purchase such as sourdough and jams. They also have paddle boats which are great fun. They recently got some highland cattle calves! Our children always ask to go there.

Henry's is probably best suited to 30+ years. It doesn't seem to get overly busy so you won't need to be pushing through crowds. The bar is really nice and the meals there are brilliant. I would recommend Henry's for a romantic meal or with a small group of friends. My girlfriends and I sometimes go for drinks and canapes, they usually have specials on a Friday night and live music.

Cataract on Paterson is always pumping so make sure you book at least a week ahead or opt for an early sitting if you can. The menu is extensive and the food is delicious. The desserts are off the chain amazing! Jump on instagram if you don't believe me! It is great for couples, groups and families. They supply a kids pack with colouring ins and activities.

Budda Thai is a very cosy little thai place. The food is really good. They do take away also. It can get quite loud in there as it is quite small but other than that it's a great restaurant.

The Gorge is Launceston's most well known tourist attraction. Take a ride on the chair lift or venture across the suspension bridge, if you're lucky you'll come across a male peacock showing off it's beautiful plumage.

Hollybank Treetops Adventures is a great day out for families. They have a ropes course for various abilities, segway tours and a zip line course. It would pay to check the minimum age for participation and I would suggest calling ahead to book. I have done a couple of the ropes courses and I found it terrifying but my husband and kids had a ball! Take a picnic with you, there's a nice spot to sit near the ropes course.
