About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Oozing character, romantic and cosy for two.

Character and elegance await your Tassie escape. A private front verandah with lovely views and a relaxing garden. Enjoy a great nights sleep on the king bed with fresh quality linen. A spacious formal lounge with a cosy gas log fire to delight in.

My apartment is well located on the airport side of the city.

It's a lovely walk to our iconic Cataract Gorge.

The space
Spacious with original charm & character complemented by high ceilings, eclectic furnishings, contemporary art and modern ensuite bathroom. Lovely wide front verandah to relax and unwind and enjoy the pretty views.

Step inside the apartment and you have your bedroom with ensuite on one side and a grand lounge room where you will want to make yourself right at home on the other side.

The apartment is best suited for short stays as there's no kitchen.

Set amongst some classic Tasmanian cottages and close enough to enjoy the comforts of living near the city.
Meander around the local streets discovering lane ways and paths.

Walk to Cataract Gorge via The Basin or be adventurous and walk to Duck Reach Gorge for spectacular views and admire the awesomeness of the first publicly owned hydro-electric plant in the Southern Hemisphere.

A great gym nearby if you feel inclined to take a class located inside the old Coats Patons Woollen Mill now heritage listed.

Only a 15 minute drive or taxi ride from the airport about $35. If travelling solo the airport shuttle bus will drop you to the door for $18 one way.

Enjoy a walk into the city and perhaps return via the gorge or visa versa. If you prefer you can jump in a taxi for a short 5 minute ride or catch the bus. Launceston is built in a basin so when walking it helps if you love the hills.

Private access to cosy front verandah and relaxing garden. Bedroom with comfy king bed and ensuite and private spacious formal lounge with log gas fire.

Set amongst classic Tasmanian houses but still close enough to enjoy the comforts of living near the city while exploring the streetscape discovering secret lane ways and paths.

Located conveniently on the airport side of Launceston we're easy to find.

Minimum 2 night stay generally applies. Your welcome to send a request if your after a one night stay.

Guest access
Enjoy the front verandah with its gorgeous views. Spacious bedroom with ultra comfy king size bed, plenty of built in wardrobe space and great ensuite.

Your elegant formal lounge is for preparing easy meals and enjoying the cosy log fire.

Your apartment is at the front of my period home. A solid wall divides for your complete privacy.

Convenient all day parking on the street directly outside your apartment.

Nice, but not nice

If you have transport, this accommodation is well located on the hill in West Launceston.The rooms are as described (no kitchen) and the bed is very comfortable. However, the accommodation is a divided house. We were kept awake until 11:43pm by the noise and vibrations of the tenants behind talking loudly and laughing. It appears that separation between the units has been achieved by placing a bookcase in front of a hall way door. No sound insulation.The disturbance occurred on both nights we stayed, the second night it lasted 3 hours. We felt cheated of our sleep and my wife later told me she felt afraid.I will not return and cannot recommend this accommodation to you

very tidy great area, would stay again

my only small criticism was we stayed 6 nights but only had 6 or 8 coffee pods for 2 of us for this time and 4 toilet rolls, but its minor just maybe when people are staying for this amount of time add a little extra 🙂

We were only there for the weekend and didn't hire a car. This cottage is beautiful and perfect for a short stay. No kitchen however microwave, fridge, toaster and toaster oven were supplied. The cottage is charming very clean and comfortable. Although it is walking distance to cafes and restaurants, they are approx 1.5 klm away and Duke Street has an incline. Too much for my husband to walk. Owner was very quick to communicate. We enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. In fact, we did recommend this cottage to other family members who are visiting for a short stay.
