Windarra on High

What guests think

At Windarra on High, reviewers highlight the elegant heritage character, generally spacious and comfortable rooms, and a convenient base for Launceston dining and sights, plus friendly, responsive hosts and enjoyable breakfasts, though the property sits atop a hilly area.

Parking experiences vary, with some finding it straightforward and others reporting only street parking available late at night. Some guests faced communication gaps, unattended phones, or reliance on emailed self check in details. Bathrooms can feel small or dated in places, and several reviews mention temperature control quirks and light intrusion affecting sleep. A good fit for travelers who enjoy intimate, boutique guesthouses.

I used the filter 'parking', was really frustrating to find at 10.30 at night there is only street parking. Tired from travel, pouring with rain, freezing cold, no one answered the phone. I got drenched because I had to park ages away.

For a top end property, it was disappointing. Tiny bathroom, bed head and blinds not cleaned & full of fluff. Hard to sleep due to too much light from neon sign out front and in hallways. Good breakfast though, that's about it.

Beautiful place to stay in Launceston. Room was clean and very well maintained. Morning breakfast was excellent. Launceston is quite hilly and this is right at the top as the name suggests, but very convenient to the city. 5 star

the room it self was lovely and the building.Just 2 things we found annoying. The bathroom was very very small when seated on the toilet and when in the shower box.It was ok but thought it could have been a bit bigger. The only thing we were really upset about was the dog over the back barked and barked for hours when the owner must have been out.It was continual.everything else was excellent. we would stay again as it was so clean and roomy the actual room itself all but the bathroom.

Beautiful old building, but room was a disappointment for the price. Bathroom was clean but very dated probably 1980's. Did not receive text about access or breakfast times but i had trouble with i messages at the time. Breakfast was good and breakfast server was very accommodating when I wanted breakfast early. Bed was very comfortable but light coming through the blind helped me get a bad nights sleep. Being Launceston one would expect a heater in the bathroom but there wasn't one. No information in the room on how to operate the heater or breakfast times etc. Overheard a guest saying heater didn't work until I told them about the switches inside. Overall a bit disappointed at this premium price point.

There was no AC and we boiled even with the window partly opened. It was a terrible nights sleep. There also seemed to be quite a delay in communications via Expedia & we were on a tight time line/needed to sort luggage weight prior to an early morning flight.

This was a beautiful building to stay in. Check in was clear and easy. The room was spacious and comfortable. The only downside was the internet extender didn't work in our room and the breakfast was cleaned up at 9am instead of 930am on our first morning. Not a big, but when on holidays, we like to have a slower paced morning :)

Building is reflection of upper class 1890s and provides an authentic combination of modern and early 20th century style with original timbers, large european style bedrooms with very comfortable modern bedding provided. Breakfast was fresh, healthy and the host for the day, Jason, was a friendly and hospitable person. excellent experience overall.
