The property itself was clean and tidy and very comfortable with all that you need for your stay, whether a short to medium term. Communication was always timing and prompt. Would definitely recommend for couples and / family of four / five. ##### Morna Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Julie B. Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness #### Average I wanted to mark this property higher, because Max was very friendly in his messages before check-in and from the photos, I assumed the property was 'squeaky clean' as mentioned on the site. However, from the significant soiled mark on the window blind in the main room, to a shower that needs a good scrub, to the skirting boards that haven't seen a vacuum, let alone a cleaning cloth, I don't know how this property has been rated so high on past reviews. Also,there is only enough seating for 4 ppl (not 6) and a bar fridge only big enough for 2 ppl for a week ##### Julie B. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Anthony P. Sep 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Great Location Very comfortable, great location, kitchen has pretty much all you need to cook. The loungeroom & bedroom with the single bed were very bright and i would say worse in summer/ daylight savings and could do with curtains as the blinds findwork blinds ##### Anthony P.

Location not far from CBD of Launceston. A bit of a stretch to accommodate 6 guests. The trundle bed is difficult to get out from under the single bed and not much space to set it up. Only 4 chairs at the dining room table. ##### Tanya B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marg M.
