Thanks for a great stay in Launceston. The location of the property was perfect for our family. Walking distance to Cataract Gorge, great for a quick evening swin, or bush walk. Short drive to city, cafes and attractions. Clean, modern property.

Short stay

Our family of 5 stayed at this property for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time. It is very close to cataract gorge so we could duck down for a swim. The views were beautiful and the house well equipped.

Exploring Launceston with our family

The house was the perfect home base for our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 boys) to explore the area. We especially enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen and walking to the gorge.

Awful Mattresses and Noisy Neighbours

The property is good overall but the mattresses and both the queen beds are awful and need to be replaced. My wife and I ended up sleeping in the childrens' buck bed in the spare room.In additional the property in the front was rented to some very noisy and drunk party group who shouted until 10:30 on the Friday and 1:30am the next night.
