    The Space:

    Welcome to 'The Sky Residence,' your front-row seat to Nature's Grand Theatre, a unique 4-level standalone House designed for the world's most breathtaking natural phenomena. This is LAUNCESTON's one-and-only lookout, where Aurora, New Year's Eve Fireworks, rolling Cloud Sea, and majestic Rainbows become your daily backdrop.

    【Second Floor - Panoramic Living】

    An open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area flows seamlessly together. The entire space is dominated by massive floor-to-ceiling Windows, turning the room into a live-in IMAX theater. Step out onto the balcony from the living area—your perfect spot for taking in the view, rain or shine.

Terrible experience at this property. We were booked to stay 4 nights and left after the first.Filthy home, hadnt been cleaned amd still had the last families food and crumbs throughout.Food chunks splattered up the kitchen windows, dirty crumbs and filth in oven and microwave.Dirty fridge.No top sheets or blankets provided on the beds and dirty sheets with hair amd animal fur on them.No hot water after one shower so our family couldn't wash.Blocked main toilet so we had to all use the ensuite for our nights stay.Would have left on night one only we arrived late.Host was approachable and issued half our money back, was very sorry about our experience.We were so disappointed as we were really looking forward to this property based on the listing and it was nothing like described.I travel several times a year and the homes I've stayed in have had basics like sugar, tea, coffee ect but this home didnt even have a tea towel or dishwasher tablets.Very disappointed.
