Six stars! Very few Airbnb residences I've stayed in around the world come even close to Anne's Heritage Forest Cottage and Studio.
Anne's communication from start to finish was spot on - rapid, clear, friendly, and thorough.
The cottage and studio buildings themselves, while not large, were more than spacious enough for our family of two couples and a single. We would have been very comfortable with still more people. They were impeccably clean, well heated, with extremely well-equipped bathroom and kitchen facilities. The location was lovely and quiet, though central to town and gorge via a short drive, and right next to a very nice park for running or walking.
However, more than that, Anne paid attention to every detail, and that is the rare and wonderful main point to note. From the handwritten welcome note to the breakfast fruit, cereal, and large selection of teas, pack of playing cards and other games, and abundance of good quality bathroom products and towels in each bathroom, there was nothing missed. There are two washing machines and a dryer plus washing line which we well used, the NBN internet was fast and easy to operate.
Things that are somewhat commonly missed in Airbnb residences, such as tea towels, face washers, and clothes drying facilities, were all laid on in abundance.
I can't speak highly enough of Anne and her home and I do hope that we have the opportunity to return to Launceston for longer than one night and explore from this perfect home base.
