The Club
An Invitation
The Club offers old-world style and service, with the quiet modern comforts expected of a contemporary members’ club. Members, their guests, and visiting reciprocal members are welcomed with the same warm hospitality for which the Launceston Club is known.
Club House
Six residential rooms, extensive gardens
