- Isabelle (9/5): - Accueil chaleureux des proprietaires soucieux de nous informer et de nous conseiller les bons restaurants. Propreté des chambres. Thé proposé a notre arrivee.

- Terry R (10/5): We very much enjoyed our stay with Linda and Andre at Kurrajong House. - Our first morning, Andre prepared a delicious breakfast with fresh fruit, juices and coffee. The special eggs were yummy and we had side choices of bacon, tomato and mushrooms as well as toast. Our well appointed and large room was very comfortable with a huge bed, exquisite sheets, coffee & tea fixings, nice bathroom and shower and cozy seating area. Linda and Andre are very knowledgeable about the area and were very helpful with restaurants and places in town to enjoy. Linda and Andre are wonderful hosts and lovely people. We highly recommend a visit to Kurrajong House! A longer stay!

- Scott (9/5): Friendly and comfortable. - Breakfast was lovely. Hosts were friendly. Lots of good tourist information provided. Showr and bathroom were lovely and clean. King size bed was great but a little narrow to get around the side of it to the bathroom, perhaps it could be pushed a little across to the other side. Very minor issue though.
- Clive (10/5): Accommodation is wonderful. Hosts friendly,fun, knowledgeable of the area. Makes the stay marvelous! - In a beautiful location. Fabulous historical home, decorated with a plush 19th century feel, yet with all the modern conveniences.

Visiting with our hosts and other guests over great food was particularly special. Highly recommend! Can’t think of anything we didn’t like!!

- Dave from St Helens (10/5): - Location, parking, host, room. Construction noise.
- Richard (9/5): A very relaxing room to end the day after exploring Launceston. - Room was elegant, clean and very calm. Four poster bed was comfortable and bay window chairs allowed for a relaxing end to the day. Bathroom was spotless with a large shower. We walked Launceston and the final hill to the property took its toll.
- Alison (9/5): Very comfortable stay - This is the second time we have stayed at Linda and Andre's house. The house is very elegant and is in a lovely, quiet residential neighbourhood.
