Pros:

Comfortable with a cosy feel to the property.

Cons:

Distance to Launceston. We weren't with a walking tour and we had to commute in and out, as the restaurant was not available to us. We also couldn't locate the laundry facilities.

Pros:

Beautiful property. About 15 minutes drive from Cataract Gorge. There is a small supermarket within walking distance. Lovely and quiet and a great place to unwind.

Cons:

There were plastic bottles in the cupboard under the sink which were from the previous guests that hadn't been removed to the recycling. There was a used face washer in the bathroom mirror cabinet. The oven had a lot of grease and was hard to work out how to use as the symbols had kind of worn off around the knobs. I think perhaps the cleaner before we arrived wasn't as on the ball as they possibly should have been. Other than that the property was lovely and I would stay again.

Gorgeous property, best beds and decor. Home away from home.
Pros:

Beautiful cottage and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Beautifully decorated and the beds were amazing! Bathrooms and kitchen were all beautiful and the garden and back verandah were just perfect. A home away from home (but a bit nicer!)

Cons:

If I was going to be really picky, I'd suggest they had a few extra items for guests like kitchen paper towels (I always find them useful) and a few more kitchen basics (salt, pepper, etc)
