We loved our stay here in Launceston. The accommodation was fantastic, beautifully clean and well presented. One of the things I was most nervous about coming to Launceston in autumn was that I would be very cold but this accommodation had excellent heating and I was toasty warm inside. We are keen to come back and would absolutely book this accommodation again.
