Bluestone Cottage Launceston ITAS

What We Love

It sets the scene for the ultimate holiday escape, for a Tassie getaway. The bathroom with heated floor tiles makes things cosy for those colder Launceston nights, with a walk-in shower. The 2 bedrooms offer 1 x queen bedroom and a second with 2 x single beds.

This characterful cottage offers a private outdoor courtyard garden, perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine after a day of exploring the local attractions. The property is equipped with NBN wifi and Netflix for your stay.

A Country Cottage in the City

We are very pleased with our stay at the Bluestone Cottage. It was tastefully decorated, very clean and cosy. We loved the private garden views from the master bedroom and dining at the rear garden surrounded by beautiful roses and lavender was most divine. Good heating and ventilation of the property made our stay very pleasant.

Great place to stay!

We were well looked after, very comfortable place in a very convenient location. Only small problem we had was the housekeeping rule of no seafood allowed. As we love eating seafood, this rule was a little bit inconvenient since we had dine out instead. Such a shame when you're in beautiful Tasmania.

Very comfortable. Just what I needed to relax, recover from a recent surgery while my husband did the Cradle Mountain trek. I could walk the entire town from the location. Stores and restaurants were convenient. The home was more than I expected with its garden and patio. Thanks for a lovely time.

Bluestone Cottage

We enjoyed our 4 night stay in charming “Bluestone Cottage” & we loved the marriage of old & new features together. It had everything we needed plus more! The beds were comfy, the kitchen had all that we needed & we enjoyed the heated bathroom floor. We also enjoyed watching Netflix at night. We had to take the car out when we needed something, as it wasn’t close enough to walk. Car parking on the street was a little tricky sometimes.

Almost perfect

Booking procedures took longer than other accommodation platforms. Description for gas bottles are out of date… House rules like leaving rubbish in the property results of 150$ deduction from bond are a little bit over the top! Overall we really enjoyed our stay in the Blue Stone Cottage!

Hi Klaus. Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.  Firstly, we're so glad you enjoyed your time staying at Bluestone Cottage! It's a lovely property!  In regards to our booking procedures, we understand and appreciate that there may be a few more steps when booking with us. We like to ensure we're looking after our properties and owners, and be confident that our guests will take care when staying.  We do have additional costs for leaving excess rubbish in the property. This is to cover the costs we are charged for removing it. We're lucky that we've not had to charge any guests for this.  Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to host you again. Kind regards The team at L'Abode

Bluestone Cottage

Bluestone Cottage is a lovely property in a great location and highly recommended.Unfortunately the managing agent had advertised the property having two bathrooms when there was only one.When we brought this to the agents attention they amended the listing on Stayz immediately but didnt have the courtesy to even answer our email.Having stayed in 4 properties on our trip to Tasmania the booking procedure with L’Abode Accommodation was the most difficult and onerous.

We are glad to know you had a great time at the property despite the issue with the incorrect number of bathroom listed. This had been updated as soon as it was reported. Apologies that the communication was difficult. We take your feedback seriously and will take this on board to review our process and improve the service moving forward. Have a lovely weekend William.
