Places To Stay
We are often asked by our new clients for recommendations on places to stay, so below we have put together a small list of our favourites that our repeat clients have given us great feedback about, while keeping a variety of budgets in mind.
The first group of accommodation places are those that are on fisheries or give you direct access to fishing waters. As you can imagine, many of our clients are very keen on fly fishing and wish to stay at places that mesh well with the pursuit of this pass time.
The second group of places are those that are local to Launceston and offer the conveniences of the city and are of close proximity for us to collect you from on our guiding days. I’ll provide some information with links to their website below:
