I stayed there with a colleague for a one month project stay at UTas. When booking the place, it was not very obvious that the place was right at the top of the hill of West Launceston. Thus, not having a car available and with buses only running on an hourly basis, no more after 7pm, the location turned out to become a light mountaineering project ;-) However, it felt good to walk up and down from/to the city and it certainly built strength. However, for elderly people or families, having a car with this place is crucial.
The place was great for us colleagues with two bathrooms and two bedrooms, we had lots of privacy. The place was very spacious and using the backyard was also fantastic. Initial supplies for cooking were provided. Only downside was that the house is not much soundproofed, in particular when people walk in the unit upstairs (sounded like elephant stumping) . Construction workers stayed upstairs for a week returning home at night and sleep was over then...
