“This spot stands out as a casual hub for enjoying live sports and a menu that welcomes everyone, right in the heart of Launceston's café scene. It seems to be a practical choice if you are looking for affordable lodgings a short walk from major attractions and the rooms, while basic, have private bathrooms. I think this is more than just a place to stay; it's a place to gather.”
