Charmaine accommodated us for an extra night early due to a cancellation from our hotel the day previous. She was very welcoming and made a fabulous recommendation for a restaurant that night too (The Black Cow in downtown Launceston is the place to go for a huge, juicy steak and home-made, authentic KimChi!). The view across East Launceston up towards the snow covered mountains was gorgeous, especially on the icy winter morning from within the cosy lounge room. El Cafe up around the corner was our choice for Saturday morning breakfast and was also really good. Highly recommend staying here and would love to return when we come back to explore more of northern Tasmania. Do not miss out on Tasmania Zoo, we even got to see a baby Tassie Devil!!
