Lovely spot
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, was a perfect quiet location, easy access to all the sights we wanted to see in the North. We do feel the listing should be updated as there was no bbq and one of the photos shows outdoor furniture which was not their. The weather was just perfect whilst we were there and it would have been nice to enjoy the outdoors more. Overall the house catered perfectly for our large adult family group.

Good for family groups
Lovely front garden, nice quiet location. Good location for sorounding wineries. Over all OK but a few small things could have been better. Needs a new ironing board cover. My son was not happy that the lack of padding on the board left a patten of the board on his good shirt, I had to use a towel over the board for my clothes, the cover is also rather stained. There was no nonslip mat in the ensuite shower, my partner had to use the hand towel to stand on as base was slippery. Few cobwebs and spiders in corners. Needs a few new pillows as some where rather lumpy. Also needs a night light at top of the stairs to remind you of the different floor level when going from bedroom to the bathroom during the night (son forgot about it and tripped) Was disapointed at the lack of eating facilities in the area for daytime dining, had to travel into Launceston for breakfast. Im not sure I would stay again, if so then would only be because its a good size for family groups and is close to the Launceston airport.
