Had a great day and night at Penny Royal Launceston. Friendly staff, comfy bed and cute, compact 1 bed apartment. The guys on the top zipline and cliff jump, and the little Captain of the ship girl/lady 😊 were fun and good with my little boy. *A lift at either end of the building would be the icing on the cake. I'd be happy if it only allowed me to ride it up, not down. Ha ha 😊
Great view.
