  Fantastic. Our favourite during 3 weeks in Tassie.

  We stayed for 3 nights, in the Old Bakehouse. It had heaps of space for us and could have accommodated another couple at least. It felt like coming home when we got back each afternoon. The hosts are very helpful. If we are ever in the area again, we will be staying at one of these cottages.

  Second visit and just as good as the first

  This was our second stay at the Gingerbread Cottages and this time we stayed in the one bedroom Gingerbread cottage. The cottage is comfortable with an eat in kitchen, lounge room, bedroom with queen size bed and a bathroom with a laundry. Although there are new owners since our last visit, little has changed. The breakfast supplies were still of a high quality and plentiful and the baked treats were still provided. The cottages and the grounds are well-maintained, spacious and clean. Westbury is a great town and close to Launceston and the airport.

  Period cottages in a lovely rural town.

  The Westbury Gingerbread Cottages are a group of tastefully restored 1850s cottages in the heart of the town. We stayed in one of the cottages many years ago and returned recently because Westbury is a nice quiet spot in the country on the way to the North West Coast which suited us totally. It is quiet most of the time except when the train goes through each morning early and toots its horn. Fortunately that is 2 or 3 blocks away from the cottages. We rented a cottage with a frontage right on the street so noisy cars early in the morning were a distraction. Other than that the cottages are cosy and comfortable. The interiors are very much of the period with modern facilities. Microwave, full oven gas fire, TV and all the self catering needs such as washing machine, dryer, refrigerator etc. The furnishings are tasteful and the artwork compliments the period décor. The cottages have small gardens and lawns to provide a measure of privacy and atmosphere. Parking is not a problem. The gardens have become a little overgrown from last time we visited and the cottages are showing signs of a need for a minor touch up here and there. However we were happy with our stay even though the weather was pretty poor at the time.

  Perfect Location

  We have just stayed at the cottages for three nights. They are in a great location for exploring local areas. We stayed in the Servants Quarters and it was very comfortable with great extras like freshly baked muffins and bread each day. Breakfast supplies were plentiful to say the least. BBQ area was handy as were the washing machine and dryer. The cottages are located on a beautifully quiet historic street.

  Experience History

  Second time I have stayed at the cottages. Westbury Cottages offer unique accommodation. A number of cottages are historical. I have stayed in the 2 brm Servants Quarters, and more recently in the one bdrm Gingerbread cottage. The Gingerbread cottage is for couples and is somewhat secluded from the other cottages surrounded by beautiful gardens. It is serene to sit on the back veranda early in the morning and listen to the gentle tweeting of finches amongst the trees. Coffee is provided for the plunger coffee, as well as milk. I loved the large fluffy towels. Bed linen is hotel quality. And I found it very clean. There is one step between kitchen and adjacent bathroom, and the living room and bedroom. If you have to visit the bathroom at night it is suggested to leave the kitchen light on because the step cannot be seen in the dark. If you are taller than 5'10" remember to duck through the bathroom doorway. Westbury is a beautiful town with a fascinating history trail, and gorgeous Town Common to relax in. It is a great location to stay, with no parking worries, and only 25mins from Launceston. An ideal location within easy reach to explore all the tourist sites of the North. The local IGA is open until 8pm if arriving later in the day and wanting to buy supplies for your stay.
