About Beulah
Beulah House was restored over 2 years with meticulous detail, retaining all its original features from nearly 200 years ago, but filled with the necessary luxuries for modern living.
All rooms have fine internal architectural features including Georgian fire surrounds, wide floorboards, high ceilings, cedar joinery, and large 12-paned windows, with views over the garden.
The house is painted in muted shades of green, with Georgian style wallpaper in selected rooms, all influenced by nature. The house is furnished with luxury comfortable furniture and unique antique pieces chandeliers, oil paintings, clocks, wall sconces, every piece has been carefully selected and purchased, supporting local businesses here in Tasmania.
When you arrive at Beulah House you will be transported to the past, as the house retains all the classical hallmarks of the Georgian vernacular – including symmetry, refinement and balance. Historically noted and architecturally significant, the house, was built by convicts in 1847 and is entered on the Tasmanian Heritage Register. The entrance drive leads you into the property, occupied by a large two storey house, featuring a deep expansive verandah, French doors, and original front door with elegant fanlights.
The impressive entry hall leads you to a number of beautifully proportioned rooms; an inviting bright and large lounge room with a double bay window and a wood heater for cooler nights, and a dining room with warm and welcoming chunky table to anchor the room for casual sit downs or more formal dinner parties. There is also a beautiful bedroom, luxury bathroom, laundry, a Georgian style kitchen, breakfast room and cellar. This is just downstairs. Upstairs, the staircase leads to five other bedrooms all with unique colours and personalities, two landings for reading/games, and two large more luxury bathrooms.
All three bathrooms have large double ended freestanding baths. The bathroom downstairs has a freestanding copper bath, which draws inspiration from a late 19th Century French bath.
Its deep base and curved sides inspires long hours of soaking, in front of the open fire and large bay window. Upstairs, in the first bathroom, there is a large freestanding bath in willow green, a modern take on an antique bath, which is the centre point of the bathroom - indulge with bathsalts and candles. In the second bathroom upstairs there is a freestanding cast iron bath which stands apart on the wooden flooring and in front of a large Georgian window, allowing you to take full advantage of the wonderful mountain views outside, preferably with a glass of champagne in hand
The established gardens are reminiscent of lush meadows, filled with a large collection of unique and classic plants. Paved pathways connecting the garden rooms, and several Magnolia trees framing the views towards the mountains. In the morning or before dining (or anytime really) relax on the wide expansive verandah, with original flagstones, overlooking the mature garden.
For the chefs, and cooks, you can dine in at Beulah House. Try the Lacanche oven - handmade in Burgundy, or the large handmade pizza oven outside. The kitchen is filled with antique platters, copper pots and crockery, and multiple places to enjoy your food creations - there are two large antique dining tables inside and two large iron tables outdoors. The House has a beautiful herb garden with sweet basil, rosemary, and more, and two mature lemon trees. There is nothing better than going out with your antique basket and picking fresh herbs for dinner or for the dinner table!

Beulah House is in a leafy central location, only a few minutes walk from Launceston CBD, but it feels like being in the country. It is a suburb with some some of Australia’s oldest and best preserved heritage places, and only moments away from endless popular eateries, galleries, parks, and the famous Launceston Gorge. It is a short drive to the Tamar Valley wineries, Historic buildings and towns, Cradle Mountain and bushwalks through the breathtaking Tasmanian landscape.
