Accommodation
Eleven rooms in total, comprising two Garden deluxe rooms, four
Garden rooms, and a Courtyard room with its own courtyard make
glorious use of the garden with many rooms opening out through
French doors to the rhododendron and azalea gardens.
In the residence, the four bedrooms are sumptuously outfitted in
fabulous fabrics, fine antiques and deeply comfortable Islington
Angel beds that guests never wish to leave. Each room has a very
distinctive design flourish, celebrating one of the many early
Tasmanians who provided inspiration for the hotel.

Room 1
The equal access room,
this has its very own veranda and private courtyard.
The sun streams
into this gorgeous room decorated in rich caramel, eau
de nil green and aquamarine blue silks. Artwork and antiques
complete the décor the highlight of which is the
original sandstone convict built stable wall that runs
the length
of the room.

Room 2
Over 45 sq metres of luxurious living. A Biedermeier themed
room in the house itself, centre-piece is a huge Austro-Hungarian
Empire bed, a fireplace with working electric fire and luxurious
furnishings upholstered in lush chocolate silks from Jim
Thompson. On one side French doors lead onto a private garden
and on the other, a luxurious marble bathroom with deep bath,
and separate shower stall.

Room 3
Large, bright and sunny, this suite has views of the mountain,
and celebrates buttercup and blues as its colour motif. Original
pressed-tin ceilings evoke the original character of the
room, and French doors open to views of the mountain. Louisa
Anne Meredith – whose books on early Tasmania are to
be found in the library – is the name of this elegant
residence room.

Room 4
This room on the first floor overlooks the gardens and has
distant views of Hobart’s harbour. Greens, golds and
tans colour themes complement the furnishings and decorations.
This will be the Marianna
Lloyd suite, wife of an early Mayor
of Launceston and the originator of the 1840’s quilt
that hangs in the Islington library.

Room 5
The John Collicott Room is a small but lovely room perched
high in the house, adjacent to the Conservatory.
This
is one of our favorites, decked as it is in fresh citrus
silks, and in pride of place in the Library the original
oil painting of the early Post Master General John Collicott.
Marble screen
bathroom, with bath and separate rain shower complete this
luxurious nest.
