Guest Reviews

• Dean (10/5): -
• kelli (10/5): We would definitely stay at this lovely location and holiday home again - Location fantastic for venturing to other areas No negative feed back to be given, Terry and Fran our hosts were very accommodating and helpful
• Stephen (10/5): Superb - Excellent location overlooking the Bass Strait. Terry was very helpful and friendly and gave us great advice about local facilities and seeing the penguins at Lillico. Nothing
• Wendy (9/5): -
• Bron (9/5): -
• Toshimitsu (10/5): We will come back. - We loved staying here.
• Dorward (10/5): Felt like a real get away - even though just one night. - Terry and Fran lovely hosts - felt welcomed. Location excellent - we sat on the front porch looking over the beach and enjoyed the lounge for a family movie night. Beds were really comfortable and all the linen and towels were excellent condition. Very clean and Fran and Terry had the kitchen well stocked with utensils, cookware etc as well as tea, coffee, sauces, herbs - we were only there for a night but so helpful for longer stays. Liked it all.
• Li (10/5): Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for Fran and Terry for the host! - Nice and cosy, fantastic sea view Nothing, everything is perfect
• Tony (10/5): perfect - excellent stay, the house was just perfect. loved everything about it. the location was perfect. everything we needed and more. would recommend to everyone
• Stuart (10/5): Highly recommended - Wonderful place & host. We were sorry only to stay one night, will definately be back! No negatives
• Tristan (10/5): As close to a perfect stay as we have ever had and we were only there one night. - As last minute bookings go this was the absolute jackpot. The loveliest hosts of a properly nice place to stay. Honestly, we felt like we had come home and really didnt want to leave. Penguin is a charming town and the house is the exemplar of a holiday let. Everything we needed was there, loads of relevant and useful advice before we arrived and Terry and Fran made themselves accessible to us without making us feel like we would be a burden. Beach literally across the road, and town within walking distance. Lots of awesome stuff within driving distance. In the end we saw penguins for real life before hitting the Tasmanian arboretum and seeing real life Platypus'sss'ss. This place is outstanding and if you can book it, do! Leaving.
• Bishnu (10/5): - The location, host, amenities and the house was amazing. Didn't find anything to dislike.
• Carol (9/5): Lovely house with great views. - Location was great, across the road from the beach walking trail and easy walking distance to town. Older house that was beautifully maintained and presented. Beds were very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked with lots of condiments and cooking essentials. A coffee machine would be nice. Coffee bags aren't a substitute. While Terry the owner seemed nice, it was unnecessary for him to call in. He already had all our details and could have processed the payment independently.
• Robert (10/5): - Everything. The attention to detail and little touches like fresh flowers and fruit, milk and excellent array of condiments was a pleasant surprise. Lovely presentation. A home away from home feel. Didn't even consider turning the TV on once, even though Netflix was also free. It was fun to watch the train go silently by a couple of times a day. The garden areas were welcoming too. A baby Webber was available but not utilised because couldn't be bothered cleaning it. The laundry was appreciated. Location is quiet but a short walk to anywhere in town and straight down to the beach, accessible for seniors too. The hosts were welcoming and had lots of useful information about the area. Penguin is the perfect spot to cover the North coast from Launceston to Smithton and Cradle Mountain/Doleraine, on day trips. The whales like it too. Passing more frequently apparently and we watched one breaching and having fun from the front porch. Having had only 4 days in Penguin.
• Vanessa (10/5): -
• Chris (9/5): Fantastic home away from home - Loved the location of the house and the view, we felt very comfortable as if we were at home. Terry was very friendly and informative about things to see and do and places to go. That we only had 6 days there and missed the Penguin 150th celebrations.
• jane (10/5): Great house and location - Beautiful and well maintained house - has all amenities and kept to a very high standard. Perfect location.
• Fiona (10/5): Wish we could’ve stayed longer, will definitely come back! - The view was amazing, beds very comfortable. Had everything we needed. Shower is a bit old but it was clean and there’s nothing wrong with it, I’m just a bit of a bathroom snob haha
• Peter (10/5): - Excellent property would recommend it to anybody.
• Kimberly (10/5): Peaceful, cozy and such a convenient location. - We loved the beautiful view, convenient location, comfortable and spacious rooms. We had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay.
• Debra (10/5): Penguin break - Terry, one of the hosts, is a friendly, knowledgeable person. We liked the welcome on arrival, large picture windows to watch the changing weather and sea, proximity to shops, beach across the road, new concrete path along the foreshore. Lovely comfortable house. We felt right at home. Nothing! Everything was great.
• Elvis (10/5): Great location and well appointed - Great location, very clean, very friendly host! Nil
• Helen (10/5): Very relaxing and peaceful - The property is a lovely old home that is directly across the road from the beach. It is very well presented and spotlessly clean, and the bed was very comfortable. A bowl of fresh fruit and a complimentary glass of port each was a very nice touch. We only met one of the hosts, Terry, he was very welcoming and gave us lots of information. We will define returning to this lovely home.
• Marianne (10/5): Cosy, comfortable and great views. We highly recommend this one. - The host Terry is lovely. The home is spacious and very comfortable and views are spectacular. The extra touches in the home make this a cut about the rest. Nothing

Rooms were styled and fitted out beautifully with light and heater on when we arrived. Terry was very welcoming and informative about the property and town.

• Alicia (10/5): Kicking myself that I only booked this place for one night. We will be back! - Loved everything about this place. Very comfortable and stylish. Fantastic view. All facilities that you could need including a stocked cupboard available for use. Nothing

• Sandra (9/5): Sunrise on Penguin will be a place we revisit for a longer stay - loved the location...loved the town itself as well. the house was older but kept in great condition and was spacious and comfortable The only thing we really wanted was a dryer so we could do a load of washing and have it dry before we left...which we couldn't do.

The accommodation had everything we needed. Communication with our hosts was quick and easy. The beds were very comfortable! The only thing we didn't like was that it wasn't fully fenced. We had a toddler so it would have been great if it was fully fenced. That was no big deal though. Other than that, it was great!
• Lauren (10/5): Exceptional - What a great house! We loved our short stay in Penguin - it is such a beautiful town that we loved exploring. Really rate the brewery, bakery and playground.

• Diana (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect property and perfect location
• Merrilyn (8/5): Great spot to explore the northern coast. - Beautiful sea views. Well equipped Bed could have been a little more comfy
• Helene (9/5): Fantastic views and location. Very caring hosts. Memorable final few days of our Tassie trip. - Fantastic location. Exceptional views from front of home. Wonderful gardens. Spacious home with very comfortable beds. We so appreciated the host Terry's invaluable advice and suggestions on local places to visit. Was my error as I hadn't realised there wasn't a clothes dryer. A clothes rack is provided. However, due to showers over the weekend we stayed, clothes washing was left inside on a Saturday afternoon. Some items were still damp when finally packed up around Monday morning at 6am. Having a dryer to fully dry items would be invaluable for some guests. Some frying pans and pots were in less than ideal condition. Aside from the 2 above minor issues, we loved our stay and rate it a 5/5.
• Eleanor (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dean (10/5): Exceptional -

• Pian (10/5): Super comfortable stay! - It was lovely to meet Terry the host! The property has an amazing ocean view. I was pleasantly surprised when I got to see the freight train going past with my toddler while eating breakfast! The property is very well-maintained and has everything we need to be super comfortable. Super grateful that Terry got the Portacot and high chair ready! I would happily stay for another few weeks. Nothing!

• Jess (10/5): Exceptional - This home has to be stayed in to really feel how special it is. It was perfect for our family with a great amount of space inside and outside.

Terry and Fran are beautiful hosts and went out of their way to ensure that our stay was comfortable and a little different to the rest.
