Launceston Holiday Park Legana
Lovely staff greeting, beautiful bush setting, 10 minutes out of Launceston, but that was no problem at all.. Supermarket and cafes 4 mins drive or 15 min walk away.. lovely and quiet up the back of the park.. very clean.

Outdoor Spa and Sauna with Spectacular Views
Welcoming, cosy, and extremely well maintained studio with access to a beautiful spa, sauna and fire pit for the ultimate getaway. Close enough to the city for easy access but far enough away to provide a lovely sanctuary. It exceeded our expectations. We want to come back!
