A sense of calm and comfort greets you upon walking through the cottage doors. Adorned in Victorian lace, its period features continue throughout, including several decorative fireplaces, arched hallway and bay windows. Entering through the front veranda, you’ll make your way through to the living room. Soaring ceilings and oversized windows bathe the space in beautiful natural light. Take your pick from a good selection of books on offer throughout the home or get cosy in front of the TV or in the sunroom. The dining room is set with a four-person table, perfect for enjoying meals at home or for setting up a laptop if you’re on a working holiday. The stylishly renovated kitchen comes fully equipped for your holiday catering and is designed around a central island with plenty of space to prepare meals. You’ll sleep easy in two beautiful, spacious bedrooms. The primary bedroom highlights a sumptuous king-sized bed and flows through to an ensuite bathroom featuring a corner spa. The second bedroom comes with a double bed, hanging space for your belongings and can make use of the main bathroom. A European-style laundry comes with both a washing machine and dryer, adding to your everyday convenience. Added conveniences include off-street parking, and central air conditioning/heating controlled by an iPad on the hallway wall. You can select the temperature for each room individually.

As Tasmania’s second city, central Launceston offers plenty to keep you busy. From heritage architecture to abundant natural beauty and a buffet of local produce, it’s a true feast for the senses. Meander down Charles Street for its alfresco dining and find boutique shopping and vibrant cafes on George Street. Don’t miss Sweetbrew for its all-day breakfast, freshly baked treats at Bread + Butter and a caffeine hit from Amelia Coffee Co. Take a road trip to Bridestowe Lavender Estate, sip wine in the prestigious Tamar Valley and spend a day at Cataract Gorge.
