Frankland Cottage Launceston

Frankland Cottage is a self-contained two-bedroom cottage at 70 Frankland Street, South Launceston, a short walk from central Launceston and the General Hospital. Booking listings mark it as pets-allowed, and the whole-cottage format, with your own kitchen, living space and an undercover paved outdoor area, is an easier proposition for a dog than a motel room, but the pet terms need confirming before you commit.

Dogs at the Frankland Cottage

The public listings do not agree on pets: some channels index the cottage as pets-allowed while other booking syndications show no pets, and no size limits or fees are published anywhere. Treat dog-friendliness as likely but unconfirmed. Call the managers directly on (03) 6344 6953 before booking, state that you are travelling with a dog, and get the current policy, any fee and any size restriction in writing.

Pepsi: booking platforms disagree about this one. A two-minute phone call settles it, and you want the answer before the drive, not at the front gate.

The vibe

It is a quiet residential pocket of South Launceston: a two-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage sleeping up to four, with free Wi-Fi, a comfortable living space and an undercover outside paved area with outdoor setting, which is where a dog would realistically spend most of its time. It holds a strong rating across its handful of reviews.

Getting there and parking

The cottage sits at 70 Frankland Street, an easy approach from the southern side of Launceston with street parking at the door. The CBD is a short walk or a couple of minutes by car, and the city's fenced dog parks are close enough to reach in under ten minutes.

While you're out there

Two fenced options are close by: Coronation Park Fenced Dog Park and Lawrence Vale Road Reserve Fenced Dog Park, both in the same suburb. For a morning coffee run, Aromas Cafe in the city is a Launceston institution.
