Charmaine is a very welcoming and friendly host. We were warmly greeted at the end of a busy week to begin our much needed mini break. My partner and I were shown the ropes at End Cottage before being left to enjoy all it has to offer.
As other reviews have said, the location is great. The city, grocery shops and a good number of restaurants are all within walking distance. The hills can be a challenge but nothing that can't be managed. It just means you take the time to enjoy the beautiful neighbourhood of east Launceston during your stroll. Tasmania respects its older buildings. Naturally, you will find a good number of heritage style homes and structures to admire. If that's your thing, take the time and go on foot to soak it all in. Your eyeballs will thank you for it.
When we weren't out and about, we took advantage of the view from the cottage. It was so peaceful, we heard little else apart from birds and the breeze wooshing through the trees.
You will need little else (apart from groceries if you plan on eating in). There were already supplies for a little breakfast, plus other lovely touches to make it a home away from home. Charmaine has thought of everything!
