All the attractions of Launceston are within easy reach, including Cataract Gorge, The Queen Victoria Museum and Gallery, and the vibrant Harvest Community Farmers' Market, held on Saturdays. Launceston is the gateway to the stunning wine trails of the Tamar Valley, and around two hours' drive from Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park – home to the world-famous Overland Track. Due to safety reasons and the aesthetic of the accommodation, the Esk Treehouse is an adults only retreat. Please mind the step as you walk into the entrance. The property is not ideal for people with accessibility requirements due to the unique features of the timber home and that the loft area is accessed via an internal wooden spiral staircase.
