From the pictures I expected a stylish apartment, and Margot’s Boag’s Cottage lived up to those expectations. But Margot exceeded them as a host with her responsiveness and assistance. Everything was seamless. The quality furnishings and provided linen were first class, and the cheese & biscuits, wine, milk and Tim Tams were nice touches along with the coffee pods for the machine. The apartment itself is a fabulous space for weekend getaway (or even longer) and is within easy walking (5 mins) of premium restaurants, the CBD and City Park. Slightly further afield, but still accessible with an easy walk, is the museum, art gallery, Boag’s Brewery and Cataract Gorge. It’s still worth booking a car though because you’ll need one to get around the wonderful wineries in the Tamar Valley. All in all, it’s hard to imagine a better place to base a visit Launceston. Highly recommended.
