This cottage certainly lives up to all of the wonderful reviews. In terms of location it is situated a few minutes drive from Lilydale which itself is only a short drive from Launceston. It’s also a spot from which to explore the vineyards of the Tamar or to check out the bike trails of Derby. The house itself is very well appointed with top quality and comfortable furnishings. The kitchen has cooking supplies such as flour, sugar & spices as well as pots & pans. You might want to stock up on supplies at the shops in Launceston which would have a bigger range than the local IGA . However, we bought a few items there. The bistro at the Lilydale Hotel served a delicious lunch on the Sunday but it was shut Sunday night and Monday night. They also have a sign saying not to take a seat unless you have booked. We were not aware of the rule and they served us anyway. If you like a morning coffee, the local coffee shop is shut on a Monday & Tuesday but we enjoyed a lovely coffee and lunch at Pipers Brook winery. I would highly recommend the seafood chowder. Back at the flower cottage we relaxed by the fire and also enjoyed a picturesque walk through the Lala Flower Farm which is really worth a visit. Overall, our stay at the Lala Flower Cottage was highly relaxing and enjoyable. Thankyou Margy .
