Having spent some time in the centre of launceston and then Cradle mountain we spent two nights in the lovely wine making Tamar Valley, apart from the picturesque scenery our visit was made even better by the beautiful apartment of Karin and Frank who were so helpful and friendly we wish we could stay a week there! The studio apartment is very very new, clean and modern, there is no kitchen, but there is a toaster, a fridge, we chose to get some takeaway and enjoyed more than one alfresco meals facing the river. Fantastic. On our last night there we had a nice conversation with Karin and Frank, they gave us lots of local knowledge and stories, not to mention the most delicious pure apple juice and fresh hazelnuts we have ever tasted. Also, just before we left the place their adorable dog Elmo gave us a warm farewell as well. We'd highly recommend their place to other airbnb users. You won't regret.
