Review of Topiary Haven
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 11 Oct 2014
A fabulous home away from home. Just on the fringe of the CBD. Peaceful and quiet. Fabulous garden setting. Scrupulously clean. Plenty of space to relax. Kitchen appliances and breakfast provisions outstanding. Décor is classy and uncluttered with stacks of style and charm. I couldn't recommend this accommodation highly enough. Perfect for one night. Even better for a week. Dine out or be your own gourmet chef. Everything you could need is provided.
Private BBQ courtyard also available. The host Diana is warm, friendly and helpful without being intrusive. A totally delightful place to stay. I can't think of a better place to stay in Launceston.
Date of stay: September 2014
Room Tip: There is only one apartment and it's perfect :)
Trip type: Travelled with family

I stayed at Topiary Haven for my wedding night and loved it. The gardens are beautiful and were perfect for photos. It cost around the same price as a hotel room in one of Launceston’s nicer hotels but it offered so much more, it's defiantly great value. The owners are so helpful; nothing was too much trouble, early check in, late check out, no worries at all. The owners are also thoughtful, they got a card, wine and biscuits for my husband and I. Inside is spacious, modern and beautiful decorated. The breakfast hamper hiding in the fridge is a cute touch as well. Close to the cataract gorge and the city centre. If you’re looking for somewhere unique and special to stay in Launceston I would highly recommend Topiary Haven.

Thank you both for submitting the excellent review and choosing our property to be a part of your wedding day.
The wedding photos you posted ( along with your review ) of the two of you in the garden, are just beautiful.
I was so pleased the weather was fine for your ' special day ' for a late August wedding and you found everything you required in the accommodation to make your stay enjoyable and memorable.
Pleased you enjoyed the treats !
Kind regards,
Diana & Barry

The accommodation is set at the rear of the block so is very quiet. The whole property is immaculate and you walk through Diana & Barrys exquisite garden to the apartment which is delightful. The apartment is completely separate from the main house and is 5 star. The kitchen meals area is perfect very well appointed. You don't need those extras in the kitchen and plenty of fresh biscuits, bread eggs and a wonderful chees platter was also provided.The views from the dining area are great and Diana & Barry were the perfect hosts. The apartment was very clean and features a large bedroom with ensuite (stocked with plenty of towels) and a laundry. With a supply of CDs and DVDs it was a great place to stay . It is very close to the gorge so ideally located. We are definitely coming back!

We travel quite a lot and normally don't write reviews of places we've stayed at, but we feel we must share with others the pleasure of our stay at Topiary Haven a couple of weeks ago. It's located on a quiet street about 5 mins from Cataract Gorge but also close enough to Stillwater where we had a delicious dinner. The bungalow, to which guests have private access through the garden, has been tastefully decorated in a contemporary style, with a spacious lounge, dining corner with a lovely view and a large well-equipped kitchen, and a comfortable bedroom with walk-in closet and en suite shower room. The kitchen was stocked with fresh bacon, eggs, salad, a good selection of fruits, loaves of bread, and even bottles of wine, and all appliances were brand new. The equipment was everything a cook could ask for (and more). With accommodation like this, we would not have minded if it had rained all day (but the weather was lovely). Topiary Haven has definitely set the standard! Many thanks Diana and Barry.

Thank you for the ' top' review you submitted to Tripadvisor - very much appreciated by us at Topiary Haven.
Pleased you found the bungalow comfortable and relaxing and enjoyed your dinner at Stillwater Restaurant, situated at the mouth of the Tamar River 5 minutes drive away from Topiary Haven.
Our goal is to keep providing unique Tassie accommodation and hospitality to our guests ( who visit us from all parts of Australia and the world ), and that they take home some great Tassie memories of Topiary Haven, Launceston and Tasmania.
Kind regards,
Diana & Barry

We have just spent six days at Topiary Haven and it is a luxury place to relax. A quite but luxurious retreat in the owners back garden. It affords the complete privacy that anyone would want. We love the provisions provided by Diana and Barry and thank them for sharing their garden with us. This is our first choice of accommodation when in Launceston. We would recommend the apartment to anyone wanting a truly Tasmanian welcoming experience. We will be back in the future. Thanks Diana and Barry.

Thank you both for the excellent review you gave us at Topiary Haven.

We aim to give our guests real ' Tassie hospitality ' in our accommodation and be available to recommend the best places to visit , dine and shop whilst in Launceston and the Tamar Region.

We love meeting and greeting our guests and believe that the best advertisement for our accommodation and region are ' happy guests ' and their feedback ( so we can tweak and improve The Tassie Experience ),resulting in return visits to our accommodation and city .

Thank you once again for your great review and look forward to a return visit .

Kind regards,

Diana & Barry

Arrived here having done my searches and expected a good quality place to stay for 3 nights but was blown away by the quality, friendliness, and the extras which made my stay a relaxed one.
From the quality of the furnishings to the supplied produce, including a magnificent cheese platter, bacon, eggs, fresh breads, biscuits and more.
This is a private and quiet place to unwind with the fabulous gardens adding to the atmosphere.. Whilst I was visiting for work I will definitely return with my partner to enjoy once again. Thanks to Diana and Barry for allowing me to experience your wonderful hospitaity.

Rob ,
Thank you for your review - greatly appreciated by us .
Another first rate review received ..We strive to make our guests feel welcome and experience our Tassie hospitality and also for them to take home some great memories of Launceston and Topiary Haven . We have included many little extras for our guests convenience because , we have experienced arriving in a unfamiliar place after travelling ( not knowing where to get provisions ) , just wanting a quick snack and therefore Topiary Haven provides a welcoming larder .We love having guests visit us in Lonnie , Tasmania and looking forward to a return visit in the not too distant future .
Kind regards ,
