Thank you for having us!
PROS: This is a charming house with views from the kitchen and upstairs bedrooms out across Launceston and to the eastern mountains beyond. Lots of gorgeous antique features and art. Comfortable beds, good kitchen utensils, dishwasher, washing machine, good ducted heating/cooling and a bath. Check-in was simple and communication clear. Cleanliness good.
- Great IGA just up the road for supplies/a hot chicken for a last minute dinner if needed;
- Highly recommend nearby Crown Cellars for the best range of local wine, spirits and craft beer in Launceston! Very helpful staff.
- Recommending dining: Pachinko, Josef Chromy lunch (both best to book!), St John Craft Beer also good casual dining
CONS: (for us) - Quite a nasty driveway to reverse out of, right into a threeway intersection - Just needed a lot of care and patience!
- The lounge and main bedroom are very dark, but with the blinds up you are front and centre for the passing traffic and people to look right at you
- Nowhere very relaxing to sit/enjoy the views from the hillside location, a high table outside the kitchen was a bit awkward/cold, the indoor dining table in the lounge dark.
- very sparse/undersupplied basics (a single 200ml long life milk, 2 sugar sachets, no oil , no pepper for four people for four nights). Be a bit more generous e.g. provide a 1L fresh milk and pantry essentials- it would make guests feel much more welcome! Charge a few more dollars if you must! The other places we stayed in Tassie were much more generous and welcoming in this regard.
Overall we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay, but probably wouldn't choose this property again. (I hope that's not too harsh!) Thanks.
