Our Hosts, Fran & Terry welcomed us on our arrival to their beautifully appointed house across the road from the beach. If I could give 6 stars I would as all of our needs were fulfilled.

House was very close to Penguin center and the beachfront but also set back enough that it was nice and quiet. Owner was very nice and very accommodating, with lots of helpful local information and suggestions, Room was nicely appointed with sea views, very comfy bed and nice walk through shower and bathroom. It was also nice to be able to use the rear, enclosed garden and sit out on the garden furniture to relax. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

We were amazed by the stunning view. The interior decoration made us feel like immersing in a music world. The kitchen was fully equipped. We were provided ingredients for a full breakfast which was not advertised. We had the privilege to enjoy the whole house with five bedrooms which could accommodate 13 people, though we were only two couples. The owner only rents to one party no matter how many people the group has. Highly recommended if you’re going to Cradle Mountain or penguin viewing at Lilico Beach.

Penguin is a beautiful sea side town with lots of charm from the park to the beach with several interesting eateries to explore. Also a few interesting shops.
The nearby town of Ulverstone while larger than Penguin is only 10 minutes away by car and has its own charms to explore.
The mountains behind Penguin looked interesting and our host, Wayne had many suggestions for interesting places to explore.
I cannot rave enough about how wonderful the included breakfast was. Our host made delicious scrambled eggs, fried mushroom, tomatoes and toast. This easily kept us going all day with only a light lunch.

Growing up in Tassie an Island, its nice to stay by the Sea when you need to relax and switch off. I visited the Tulip Festival at Table Cape near Wynyard, I also went to the Penguin Markets on Sunday and walked along the beach in perfect October Spring weather.

It was great to stay in a spacious apartment with lots of windows and great view directly out to the ocean. Easy walking with good footpaths and easy access (via the ramps) to the beach. There are some very nice cafes and good pub food.

Right at the heart of Penguin! I was staying in August and there was barely anyone else staying the 5th e hostel so had the whole room for myself. Warm duvet and blankets as well as towels provided. Rooms were quite spacious with tables, chairs, shelves and cheater in. Kitchen was well equipped with a lot of fridge space.
Really easy to drive up and around to other seaside towns.
The house was excellent. The hosts added lots of extra personal touches such as sun tan creams and other toiletries that we normally never have in a property. The property was spotless and very comfortable. Lovely views from the house and you can easily walk into Penguin. Would have stayed longer but for it being booked out already. We would definitely recommend.
Homey little place to stay with wonderful hosts and great views! The added puppy love was a delightful bonus! Wayne and Sue are great and welcoming host and serve a delicious breakfast! Slept like a baby and felt very welcomed in their home! Thanks again Wayne and Sue! It was a pleasure to 😊 Fantastic view from the room. Watched sunrise from my bed!
beautiful style boutique hotel, comfy beds, near the beach, really centric and very good value for money and all the small things are much appreciated like the chocolate, the cherry wine etc, another plus is the quiet and free of noise hotel, surroundings and the room my family really enjoyed the stay, we will return certainly.
Penguin Beach house was ideally located a short walk from the town centre with gorgeous ocean views. The house was absolutely spotless and the kitchen well equipped and well laid out. It was so easy to make yourself right at home. Thank you to hosts Julie and Michael for sharing their fabulous beach house!
Location was fantastic, opposite the beach.
Easy walk into town, it was a beautiful place.People in Penguin were lovely, restaurant “Seasons by the sea” was awesome.
House was so clean with everything you could wish for.
Owner, Terry came around and was very informative and lovely.

I loved the location being tucked away in the valley. I loved the cosiness of the cabins and that the fire was lit before our arrival and before we got back after a day out and about in Penguin. It was a beautiful and peaceful stay. Will definitely stay again.
Comfy and quiet. Relaxing spot with everything I needed for a quick trip for work. Kitchen well equipped, gas stove, pots etc to eat in. Great outlook in green gully. 2 mins from Penguin Centre.
The view is amazing and the owner was so kind. We really enjoyed everything about it. Penguin is a very nice little town. Enjoyed the fresh eggs and meeting the farm animals.
Wayne is an amazing host! He made everything to make my stay exceptionally comfortable. You will never find such hospitality in any star hotel!
The dogs are very friendly)
Location was excellent to all things Penguin has to offer and surrounding tourist sights. The apartment was very spacious and had everything needed to self cater.
The location is good for us since it's so near to the sunflower farm we wanna go to. The natural view is great with a lot of animals. Very peaceful farm vibe.
The property is very well located near the centre of town. Parking and access was exactly as described and the unit was well well presented for our arrival.
