Disliked: Cleanliness
3 had 3 coathangers between 4 people. When the owner was asked for more we were given 10 the next morning which meant we had 3 each for our 6 day stay!Kitchen cutlery & plates were all mismatched & chipped. The plugs in the bathroom sinks could not be pushed in to hold water so the men had to shave with the water running. The airconditioning zones were non functioning. The dishwasher had a single cycle only.Overall, the rental was overpriced and underwhelming.

We loved the proximity to Cataract Gorge. The house is presented well, spacious for a group of 8 which 4 of them are kids. There were toys at the house which comes in handy. However, they don't have a highchair which we wished they have!The kitchen and dining area was well set up as well, pantry were filled with essential which we loved. We would have loved to enjoy the backyard bbq but it was raining when we were there.The house is very close to the gorge, but it's a trek to get into town for essential. If you don't mind driving through the winding road.

Awful Mattresses and Noisy Neighbours

The property is good overall but the mattresses and both the queen beds are awful and need to be replaced. My wife and I ended up sleeping in the childrens' buck bed in the spare room.In additional the property in the front was rented to some very noisy and drunk party group who shouted until 10:30 on the Friday and 1:30am the next night.

Our family of 5 stayed at this property for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time. It is very close to cataract gorge so we could duck down for a swim. The views were beautiful and the house well equipped.

Exploring Launceston with our family

The house was the perfect home base for our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 boys) to explore the area. We especially enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen and walking to the gorge.
