We had a wonderful stay at End Cottage in East Launceston.

It's a well appointed, light-filled, modern apartment in a pretty part of town. There's a cute balcony surrounded by mature Eucalypts, ideal for al fresco breakfasts. The utilities are excellent including well equipped kitchen, laundry facilities and entertainment systems. The bed is stupidly comfortable with great quality linen. It was hard to get up in the morning!

Located in East Launceston, a pleasant leafy suburb, there's ample street parking if you have a car. We didn't, but the town centre is just a 15-minute walk away with all its restaurants and cafes. It's an interesting walk with some great buildings to check out en route. If you're feeling lazy (and can't face the hills) then two minutes away there's a small green with popular food vans and a busy cafe.

Charmaine was a great host. She was helpful, flexible and very understanding. She’s also a keen bush walker so has great information on where to walk in the amazing Tasmanian wilderness. We were due to walk the Overland Track but Ruth was injured so couldn’t make it. When we had to change plans last minute Charmaine was very helpful and accommodating. She even took Ruth out for a wonderful day-walk around Cradle Mountain!

We would thoroughly recommend a stay at End Cottage and would definitely want to stay again the next time we’re in Launceston. Thanks Charmaine!
