Red Feather Inn

Tasmania’s Red Feather Inn is a boutique heritage accommodation in Hadspen, approximately 10 minutes from central Launceston and 15 minutes from Launceston Airport in Tasmania. Originally built in 1842 as a coaching inn, the property retains its Georgian architecture, convict hewn sandstone and historic character while providing contemporary accommodation across the original inn and neighbouring cottages.

The accommodation includes individually styled heritage rooms and suites alongside three larger cottages, making Red Feather Inn suitable for couples as well as small groups travelling together. Original architectural details are complemented by king or twin bedding, modern bathrooms and garden surroundings, while the cottages add kitchens, living areas and private outdoor spaces.

Dining is an important part of the experience, with the onsite restaurant focusing on seasonal Tasmanian produce and local wines. The historic buildings and secluded gardens create a distinctly country atmosphere despite the property’s proximity to Launceston.

For a Tasmania golf holiday, Red Feather Inn provides an appealing alternative to staying in central Launceston. Its location works particularly well for travellers moving between Launceston, the surrounding countryside and Tasmania’s northern golf destinations, while the intimate accommodation and onsite dining provide a relaxed place to return to after a day of golf. Nearby golf courses include Country Club Tasmania, Launceston Golf Club and the Barnbougle’s three courses: The Dunes, Lost Farm, Bougle Run.

One important booking consideration is that from mid September to mid May, accommodation is reserved exclusively for guests of the Tasmanian Walking Company and is not generally available to other travellers.
