We chose Rod's place for location and price. Rod's place was perfect for our cycling trip and in the best location as it was not on a steep hill like most of Launceston and also it was a 100m from Coles, Thai restaurant and a cafe. If we wanted to ride our bikes into the CBD it was an easy ride down Elphin Rd that took just a few minutes or even just a $6-$7 uber ride each way.
If you are a cyclist this spot is perfect because most of the good rides start just around the corner on the A3. We rode to the top of Ben Lomond to climb Jacobs Ladder which was an amazing experience as a cyclist and was a 115km round trip ride from Rod's Place. Also Mount Barrow is a similar climb that is closer that is roughly 80km round trip. Or a Scottsdale loop.
Thanks again Rod for the great hospitality. Will definitely stay here again.
