The Backyard & Parking: Step out to the rear of the property to find an outdoor clothesline and private parking. Accessed via Walbourne Street, drive through the grey gates to find off-street parking for two vehicles.



Guest Access

You will have private, exclusive use of the entire home, the wrap-around veranda, and the backyard throughout your stay. Please note that a few select rooms and cupboards are locked and reserved for owner storage. Aside from these designated areas, the space is entirely yours to enjoy in complete privacy.

We love giving our guests complete space and privacy to enjoy their stay. However, if you need anything at all, the team at Moxxi Property is always happy to help. You can easily reach us via the app or by phone for quick support or local recommendations.



The Neighborhood

Launceston is a beautiful city that seamlessly blends heritage charm, urban wilderness, and world-class dining. Named one of Australia’s top towns to visit, everything you need is right on your doorstep.



Food & Drink: You are perfectly positioned to experience the best of Launceston’s culinary scene. Explore Charles Street (locally known as our 'Lygon Street') for popular cafes and boutiques, or head to George Street (‘Eat Street’) for an array of restaurants and trendy gin bars. Along the Tamar River, the Seaport Precinct offers beloved local dining spots like Mudbar, Levee Food Co., and Spice.

You can also explore City Park with its famous snow monkey enclosure, visit Penny Royal World for family adventures, or let the kids play all day at Riverbend Park.



Getting Around

While many of Launceston's top spots are within easy walking distance, we recommend a car to get the absolute most out of your stay and comfortably explore the surrounding region.



Parking: Private, off-street parking for up to two vehicles is located at the rear of the property (accessed via the grey gates on Walbourne Street). Please note: One space is suitable for a medium-sized car, while the second space is suitable for a small car only.



Free Tiger Bus: Easy to spot with its distinctive black and brown Tasmanian Tiger stripes, this free bus circulates around the city. Convenient nearby stops are located right outside Princes Square Park and the Launceston General Hospital.



Alternative Transport: Metro public buses offer daily routes to outer suburbs. Purple "Beam" electric scooters are parked throughout the city and accessible via app. For bike rentals, Roll Cycles (112 Cimitiere St) offers excellent options for both city cruising and world-class mountain bike trails. Uber, local taxis, and airport shuttles are also readily available.



Other Details to Note

Parking Limitations: Please keep in mind that of our two off-street spaces, one is suitable for a medium-sized car and the other is for a small car only.



Garden Maintenance: To keep the property looking its best, the owner will briefly stop by most mornings to water the garden. They will remain outdoors and will fully respect your privacy.
