Lovely stay
We didn’t receive the automatic email of the lock box to check in but the hosts answered our call straight away and were apologetic and gave us the code . The rooms were as pictured and clean, out the back was a vacant block of land for sale that our children ran in which gave them some extra space. The house was opposite the beach but there was a train track you needed to cross to get to it so not as close as expected. Short walk to the town for young children and old people.

Just perfect
My husband and I booked the Penguin beach house as a place for us and our 3 year old daughter to rest after the excitement of crossing on the boat. It was a wonderful place to stay. The heater had been left on for us so when we arrived on a frosty June morning, the house was warm and inviting. The house had a friendly fee and contained everything you could want. The shower was amazing!!

Lovely beach house
House was bright, clean with plenty of bedding choices and comforts during our week stay. Amazing views along the beautiful Penguin foreshore - walking distance to information centre, shops, cafe’s and restaurants. Short drive to Burnie, Ulverstone, national parks and wineries. Ideal family getaway.

We just loved this house and hope to stay again next time we are in Tassie visiting family. Location is great, short walk to town which we did regularly. Very beautifully presented and we loved the covered area out the back. We did think an exhaust fan in the kitchen would be a good idea as we cooked a lot and had to open windows but otherwise it was really quite perfect.

Penguin, nice place to visit
The property was clean and comfortable. The owners need to update their details on the listing as some items were not available. In walking distance to the local shops, lovely place to visit.

Just lovely
Property as described and photographed. Well appointed and spacious for our family of 6. We arrived from interstate at night and the supplied starter pack was all we needed till morning. Grocery/post office/restaurants a very short walk away. Off road parking perfect size for the Kia Carnival. Overall a beautifully maintained property by the seaside.

What a wonderful place
We came frome Germany and after we did the Overland Track we looked for a place to relax some days. We found here the perfect place. The house is so cozy and lovingly furnished. All rooms are perfect equiped and so clean. Special the kitchen is so highly equiped....i would give more then five stars if possible. The house is located in a quiet area, just a few minutes walk to the town centre. You can sit outside on the terrace and enjoy the ocean view, or in the garden which offers you shadow. We felt very well there and can highly recommend this place

An outstanding home in a great location & incredibly well appointed!
We were two retired couples on a road trip in Tassie. Penguin was our last stay before heading back to Qld. We’d picked out the Penguin Beach House when searching online. It seemed to have everything we wanted. As it turned out it offered more! Such an incredibly well appointed home and so comfortable. The list of those things that make a stay more comfortable we’re endless. I wish all short term accommodation options available were as great as this home! The owners deserve congratulations and our thanks.

An amazing property! Clean, modern and the owners have thought of everything you need for an amazing stay. There was only two of us staying there, but the house would be amazing for a family as well. We loved Pengiun, make sure you do the beach drive from this house to Ulverstone, awesome!

The pick of the coast
It's a great house, exceptionally furnished with super sea views in a quiet location and Penguin's well up to nice shops and cafes. Apples from the garden beat anything youll find in the shops and the pears are good too if you give them a couple of days to soften. Take a moment to talk to the guy next door - he used to work in the tourist office and knows what's real vs what's pumped up.
