Suite Shed is a conversion of traditional sleep outs and bathroom behind a Californian Bungalow into a warm, self-contained guest suite for up to 4 people. A rustic urban cabin in an old orchard garden yet close to the Launceston city centre. There is a separate bedroom and corner queen-sized daybed that you can close off from the living room for sleeping.

The beautiful tactile texture of Tasmanian Oak timber boards have been exposed inside. A new roof and walls have been added to the outside so it is fully insulated. With double glazed timber windows, it retains the warmth of Launceston's sunny days in Winter. There is heat pump airconditioning in the living room and bed alcove, radiant heated panel in the bedroom and a bathroom heated towel rail to keep you cosy.

Designed for low vision and accessibility, it is an inclusive space with wheelchair accessible bathroom & kitchenette.

If you have low vision, there are handrails with movement sensor lights to help you navigate, plus a talking microwave and induction cooktop.

You can retreat from the world in a sensory egg chair, or relax on your own deck under the apricot tree.

Once you feel revived & ready to explore, you are close to Heritage Forest Park, North Esk River, UTAS Stadium, QVMAG museum, Harvest Market, Launceston city centre & Cataract Gorge.
