Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located above a restaurant, a short stroll from the apartments where the adventure park is set, facing the main road with ongoing construction works for roofing tiles. The rooms are a bit noisy but cozy, and the service is friendly and accommodating. The location is fantastic for walkers, near The Gorge with picturesque views. However, the dining options could be improved.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The room, though clean and spacious, faced a noisy pub/bar which could disrupt sleep. However, the room itself was cute and offered a nice view of the park. The service was exceptional, with staff like Brad, Jess, and owner Asli going above and beyond to assist guests. The location was convenient for accessing both the regional areas and Launceston itself, but the presence of late-night noise and occasional cleanliness issues were drawbacks.
The hotel is conveniently located near local attractions, with friendly and helpful service. The rooms are excellent despite some minor inconveniences. The dining options could be improved, but overall a good value for money stay.
