About Suite Shed
Suite Shed is a conversion of traditional sleep outs and a bathroom behind a Californian Bungalow into a warm, self-contained guest suite for up to 4 people.
A rustic urban cabin in an old orchard garden yet close to the Launceston city centre.
The beautiful texture of Tasmanian Oak timber boards and rusted metal have been exposed inside, with new roof and walls to the outside so it is fully insulated.
There is a separate bedroom and a corner daybed that you can close off from the living room for sleeping.
Designed for low vision and accessibility, it is an inclusive space with wheelchair accessible bathroom & kitchenette.
If you have low vision there are handrails with movement sensor lights to help you navigate, plus a talking microwave and induction cooktop in the kitchenette.
You can retreat from the world in a sensory egg chair, or relax on your own deck under the apricot tree.
Once you feel revived & ready to explore, you are close to Heritage Forest Park, North Esk river, UTAS Stadium, QVMAG museum, Harvest Market, Launceston city centre & Cataract Gorge.
Say hello to your new very furry friends, our two Collies (Rough); mother Cienna and Minnie, her daughter. They are Lassie dogs so they love people and are a calm and comforting presence, but they also love a good bark at passersby, evil bin trucks and neighbouring cats. We keep them inside with us most of the time and at night. If you want to see more of them, they would love to hang out with you, otherwise we can keep them away so they don’t disturb you.

Meet Your Host, Jane McDougall
We moved from Melbourne to Launceston in 2019.
Dave teaches architecture at the University of Tasmania & I am alsoCAN architects, designing for accessibility & aging gracefully at home.
We designed SuiteShed for our aging parents to come and stay, specifically Dave’s father who could only see bright light and contrast colours.
We love to travel & have visited over 50 countries. We usually do a language class before we go somewhere to say hello.
And we love cooking & eating, so SuiteShed is set up to cook.
