The Captain's Room

This room derives its name from Captain Edward Ditcham who was at the time of building the house, the Master Warden of the Port of Launceston.  He built the house on the same site as his Bone mill on the corner of Maitland St and Connaught Crescent.

A grand Victorian four-poster bed, king size, is a dominant feature of this room which is decorated with rich navy velvet curtains.  The nautical decor includes memorabilia spanning a century. The room has a built-in corner ensuite of unusual design.

The Banker's Room

The Banker’s Room is masculine and original. A carved oak bed is the feature of this room complemented by an antique mahogany barreltop desk complete with two early local bank ledgers dating from the commencement of the building of the house.

A tasteful glass-walled bathroom with spa bath and separate toilet connects.

The Marchioness'

French influence is evident in The Marchioness' room, decorated with a French serpentine bed of brass, porcelain, crystal and cast iron.  The original bathroom which serves as its ensuite contains a deep claw-foot bath, a Victorian style vanity suite and a walk-in shower.

An antique mahogany and American oak wardrobe with a matching cheval dresser complement the decor.

The Governess'

The Governess' is a ground floor room with an unusual barley-twist four poster bed of French Colonial vintage.  The room features a glassed-in balcony that captures the morning sun, ideal for breakfasting alone (or together), but leading to the Grand lounge and dining room

The Victoria Room

The Victoria Room is the indulgence room of the house. It has a king size full tester four-poster bed and double spa bath to be seen and experienced by honeymooners and partners re-romancing their relationships.

Ideal for the longer stay, you may use the additional separate entrance. There is a full kitchen (but, if desired, we offer to cook you breakfast), a tastefully decorated dressing room and bathroom with spa bath.
