We love welcoming well-behaved dogs and cats to Mountaintop Pod 2, our dedicated pet-friendly accommodation.

If you're travelling with a pet, you must:

• Book Mountaintop Pod 2.

• Select and pay for the Paws & Stay Package at the time of booking.

• Register your pet during the booking process.

• Comply with our Pet Stay Rules throughout your stay.

The Paws & Stay Package includes additional cleaning together with pet-friendly amenities to help ensure every Mountaintop Pod remains beautifully presented for all guests.

Pet Stay Rules

To help everyone enjoy their stay—including our resident wildlife—we kindly ask that:

• Pets remain under your supervision at all times and are never left unattended in the Mountaintop Pod or anywhere on the property.

• Pets are kept on a lead whenever outside the Mountaintop Pod.

• Pets are kept well away from native wildlife and are never permitted to chase, disturb or interact with wildlife.

• Excessive barking or disruptive behaviour is managed promptly to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of other guests.

• Pets are kept off beds, lounge furniture and other soft furnishings wherever possible. Please use the pet bedding provided.

• All pet waste is collected immediately and disposed of in the red Council general waste bin provided onsite or taken with you when you depart.

• Guests accept responsibility for any damage, loss or additional cleaning resulting from their pet during their stay.

For the safety of our guests, pets and native wildlife, The George Tasmania reserves the right to require a pet to be removed from the property or, in serious circumstances, terminate the booking without refund where these conditions are not respected.

Thank you for helping us keep The George Tasmania a welcoming destination for pet lovers while protecting our beautiful environment for future guests.

Our Café Bar is a small, family-owned and operated business, proudly showcasing simple, delicious food made with premium Tasmanian produce wherever possible.

Our compact kitchen is designed for quality rather than complexity. Each morning we freshly prepare our gourmet toasties ready for service, allowing us to provide fast, consistent meals. As a result, toasties cannot be made to order or customised.

We personally collect our cakes, pastries, cookies and sweet treats from our premium Tasmanian suppliers in Launceston and surrounding areas, the day before or on the morning of service.

Wherever possible, we proudly source 100% Tasmanian produce and ingredients, including our bacon, eggs, breads, rolls, butters, cheeses, relishes, olive oils, meats, wines, beers, ciders and many of the products featured throughout our menu.

As a small family business, you'll often be welcomed by family or friends lending a hand alongside our wonderful local team. We are proud to employ local people across both our Café Bar and Mountaintop Pod accommodation.

While our menu isn't elaborate, we believe in doing the simple things exceptionally well—offering quality food, premium local produce, genuine hospitality and thoughtful attention to detail to create an experience that is warm, relaxed and memorable.

Thank you for supporting local Tasmanian growers, producers, artisan makers and small businesses.

Suitable footwear and warm clothing are strongly recommended.

• on the surrounding Café deck areas.

Smoking and vaping are permitted only in designated outdoor areas.

Please dispose of cigarette butts responsibly and never discard them onto the ground due to the significant bushfire risk.

Additional cleaning charges may apply if smoke or vapour odours remain inside a Mountaintop Pod or if additional cleaning is required.

While every reasonable care is taken to provide a safe and enjoyable experience, guests stay at The George Tasmania at their own risk.

To the extent permitted by law, The George Tasmania is not responsible for:

• injury or illness;
