Mostly good, positive. The oven wasn’t cleaned. Provided pictures as evidence of dirty oven, received response of “that’s a lot of crumbs” - no apologies….. stains on bedsheets, rusty pans, rusty bbq and my travel partner mentioned the ensuite room was dusty…..enough with the negatives. Really nice backyard. Modern house, spacious open plan kitchen, dining and living area. Safe neighbourhood, you can hear birds at night and also the stars on a clear night. Close to shops.

Launceston Luxury
The house was just as pictured, fairly new, tastefully decorated, clean and very comfortable. Beds were luxurious and kitchen amenities and bbq perfect for our extended family of 5. Nice and close to the city centre and in a picture perfect hilly location. We were very happy with our stay and the host was very attentive to ensure we were comfortable. Thank you Max.

Very quiet. As long as you have a car as we did, this was a great spot. PS: There are a lot more hills in Launceston than we are used to!

Very Comfortable Home Base
Modern and Convenient at Newstead is exactly that! A great base to explore Launceston and surrounding areas. The house is well stocked, with great facilities for cooking and washing. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and supermarkets are only a short drive away.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!!
