A Great House For A Small Group Of Friends
The "Retreat" proved to be a good choice for a visit to Launceston and the Tamar Valley wineries and breweries. Very comfortable and roomy with a good selection of bed configurations for our 6 adults. Being located in a quiet suburban neighborhood with a range of facilities nearby (supermarket, hotel, shops), made for a relaxing, slow-paced few days.
