They have all the big name brands, and everything for the serious cook to the total amateur. Prices are reasonable, and with the range they stock you can find something to suit any budget. The staff are excellent and super helpful. If they don't have something in stock they'll order it in for you. They have sales throughout the year, and if you are a member then you can get extra discounts and bargains - definitely worthwhile signing up.

Big call, but Your Habitat is the BEST homewares store I've ever visited (and I've visited many)…read more A visit to Your Habitat is mandatory on all my trips to Tassie. The owners have their fingers on the pulse when it comes to selecting stock that covers traditional and trendy cooks and entertainers. Your Habitat stocks many well-known and reliable brands, including KitchenAid, Scanpan, Le Creuset, Wedgwood and Royal Doulton (imagine your Christmas goose cooked and served up with these brands?!). Fancy a tea of coffee? Come in to grab a new Bodum plunger or milk frother or an on-trend tea pot, with some chic cups or mugs to match. Picnicking at the park? Before heading around the corner, swing by Your Habitat for all your picnic needs, including pretty serving ware, cute napkins and colourful plates and bowls. Into baking? Well, come on down. Service is always very professional. Prices are reasonable too - especially at sale time. Join the loyalty program while you're in - no cost and great rewards on offer. Your Habitat is also online and their service via online shopping is very good in my experience. Happy shopping (and cooking).

No shopping outing in Launie is really complete without a trip to Myer Launceston. Great homewares and electrical departments. Cosmetics also good (but I wish they had Mac to brighten things up a tad). Clothing-wise, you'll be able to get all the staples, but maybe not that 'something special.' Shoes can also be a little hit and miss, but worth a shot. Situated conveniently in the Brisbane Street mall.
