Highly recommend

We came to Tasmania for a wedding and we had our family, my sisters family and our Dad all stay here. It was wonderful! There was something for all ages of kids. The littles liked the toys, the teens enjoyed the games room and the adults loved sitting outside soaking up the sun and beautiful view. The VRBO had everything we needed. All of us, including all the kids, would stay here again and would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic - spacious and great location

This was a fantastic start to our holiday. Great location as long as you have wheels. We could really relax. Really comfortable beds. Lovely bath and kitchen. Sooooo much better than a hotel. We are a family of five. Could have 2 families easily. New bypass roads make for easy access from airport. Try the local cafe Maple but make sure you book.

Quiet location close to city

Very impressed with the house itself, its cleanliness, it has plenty of room and the games room with full size pool table was great fun. It is in a very quiet neighbourhood which initially seemed to be further out from Launceston's CBD that in actually was. A super easy and quick to drive into the city. I definitely recommend this house. Thanks Chris

Very nice house.

The property was very clean and nice but there were just a few things wrong with the games room and the bathroom with the bath. The snooker table was riped which I was told but it was a bit worse than I thought. The foolsball table was broken. The rowing machine one of the foot stays was broken and the hand held shower spray was leaking from the back but overal the stay was very nice. O just one more thing the internet was very very slow.
