Thank you for hosting us in this beautiful house. The view is outstanding and the decor is very welcoming. The appliances were high end and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Strongly recommend this amazing house!!!
Very comfortable stay with all kitchen and general amenities you could wish for. Lovely, elevated view of Launceston and mountain ranges. Thank you to the hosts, good communication and very accommodating with special requests.
The house was very clean and good for our group of 4.The view of Launceston was amazing.Facilities were great.Some old water damage on the floor near the dining room table but this did not impact our stay.
We really enjoyed our stay in this very well appointed and well equipped property with fabulous views, wonderfully comfortable beds, best quality fittings and everything we needed for a restful stay. We plan to return for future visits.
It is a beautiful location, the sun heatrd the place and we had some cold days. Beautiful days and night time showers. This place redefines the dpsce with a dynamic view. Well appointed and comfortable with the easy yo set air conditioning. Nice invigorating walk to gorge and town. Would stay again if available.
Wonderful three days in this lovely light filled home. Killer views in the most perfect location. Walking distance to Cataract Gorge. Time spent at the Gorge an absolute highlight of 7 days in TAS. Highly recommended and the host super lovely and helpful
Great location - good driveway considering the steep hill. Amazing views from inside and the deck which was a great place to enjoy coffee and cake or a wine!Very spacious and the two bathrooms were a bonus. I would suggest that the rug be removed for safety purposes and that the cleaning of the bathrooms especially could be improved. Communication with the host was very good and instructions for check in easy to follow. Thank you Sophie for a lovely stay.
Stayed here for a week. Would stay again in a heart beat. Lovely home, just right for small family. Beautiful views day or night through the floor to ceiling windows of the valley. 5 minutes drive from The Gorge and the centre of Launceston, 15 minutes drive from the airport. Check-in and check-out was a breeze, and the host was an excellent communicator. Great floorplan, very clean. Highly recommended.
We would highly recommend this property. It is very high on a hilltop and has great views of the city. The place was very clean. Had upscale appliances. All amenities were there and operational. We would highly recommend this place for someone who wants quiet. It had a little bit of a walk to get to any town function. You would need a car.
We booked a 2 night stay as part of our family holiday around Tasmania. Everything about our stay was fabulous. The spectacular views over Launceston and beyond are breathtaking. We especially loved the heated floors in the bathrooms, plush towels, linen bedding as well as the beautiful dining table and super comfortable couches. The kitchen was well equipped and having access to the washer and dryer was an added bonus! Sophie was a great communicator from the time of booking, sending us a little message acknowledging our confirmed booking. Her instructions on how to enter the property were easy to follow. Next time we are in Launceston, we will be sure to stay here again.
An absoutely incredible home for our 10 day stay in Launceston.
Location was perfect for us. A short drive or uber into town, IGA in walking distance as well as the beautiful gorge and gorge cafe.
The house itself is a real home away from home. Had everything we needed and more. The beds are especially comfy with really cosy bedding. Plenty or towels, toilet rolls and other amenities.
Woke up every morning to incredible views watching the morning fog roll in with the sunrise. And finished every day with sunset over the gorge followed by the stunning twinkly lights from town.
This is now our favorite place to stay when we are in town and cannot wait for our next trip so we get to enjoy the home again 😊
Sophie is a great host and very responsive if you need to get in touch for any reason during your stay.
This was a great place to use as a base for our 6 day
stay in Launceston. very centrally located. Handy to IGA and Woolies. We like to shop locally then mainly do our own cooking so the really well-equipped kitchen set up was ideal for us. (Maybe some instructions on the use of the microwave + a Microwave safe dish or two for reheating, cooking veggies etc. We bought a DECOR one, suited us just fine.) We're linen, cotton, and wool bedding folk so the lovely SHERIDAN linen sheeting and towels
along with the 2 X lovely Wool blankets were appreciated. Owner Sophie responded to a request for more tea towels and scourer with speed and enthusiasm! The sunny back deck was just the ticket for M' Lady to catch up on her reading.
If you are a lark, the panoramic pre-dawn skies seen through the expanse of glass are a wonderful way to welcome the day. The fairyland of lights of night-time add the secret ingredient to any evening meal. Thank you Sopie for making your retreat available to us.
The house was terrific, the view was spectacular ,it was close to everything . We will stay again . It was so quiet. The bushwalks were fabulous. Loved every minute of our stay.
Check in was very smooth with great communication from hosts. Incredible views! Warm comfortable bedding, with spacious rooms, it had everything we needed. Very close to town, with IGA (and more importantly coffee!) just a street over. Would recommend a stay here.
