Basin View Retreat is a sparkling diamond of a place to stay in Launceston. It’s private, quiet, has all the comforts of home (except for a dishwasher and bathtub, if you must have these), and is close to all that Launceston has to offer, including the nearby Cataract Gorge, only two minutes drive away.
The main bed is king size and very comfortable. There’s a large upholstered bench seat/fold out bed in the same room if required or you can use it to store your suitcases as we did. This room adjoins a good sized combined en-suite and laundry.
Another room accommodates the kitchen, dining, and lounge spaces. While compact, this space has been well designed and opens onto a sunny deck.
Vehicle access is down a steep drive, but not too challenging. Alex and David’s instructions on getting in and out were invaluable.
