Will definitely stay here again when I come back to Tasmania. Nothing - I really enjoyed the place.

- Henry (6/5): Basic and comfortable. - Nice location with space for kids to run. Cute animals around. Cabin was not very clean, quite worn and could have used an update of crockery, cutlery etc. A significant amount of road noise from a neighbouring highway.
- Kaylene (9/5): It was relaxing and a great place to base ourselves. Very welcoming. - Peaceful, the hammocks and stream were a great bonus. Had everything we needed. Very steep driveway (but you can't help that).

- Anderson (9/5): A little gem close to walking and beaches of the north. - The cabin was warm cosy and very well equipped. Its surroundings were great- walk, BBQ and grassy area. The highway noise was sometimes intrusive.

- Alison (10/5): Loved it - The cabin was so comfortable Lots of wildlife to watch out the window Bed very comfy Steve was very friendly & helpful Nothing

- Debra And Vince (10/5): -
- Kim (9/5): - Friendly staff. Very comfortable cabin Traffic on the highway can get a bit noisy
- Jennifer (8/5): Thoroughly recommend this property. - Sunny Gums is located in a beautiful and relaxing setting. We were greeted on our arrival by our host who was extremely pleasant and helpful. The accommodation had everything we require for our stay and the kitchen was quite well equipped. It stated that the property is a 20 minute walk into the township of Penguin and it may well be, but what a walk, the property is located on a steep hill and this would make the walk into Penguin or back quite difficult except for anyone who does not possess very good fitness levels. Having said this the location of the property was so peaceful and relaxing this was not really an issue.
- Kevin (10/5): An outstanding property in a secluded place. - Everything. Sunny Gum is an exceptional property to stay at whilst in Penguin. The facilities are second to none. The cabins are spacious, clean and have everything you need for your stay. The property is located in a quiet, secluded little valley away from town, however a short drive to beautiful Penguin. The hosts are brilliant, have the cabin ready for your arrival and leave you in peace to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Having to leave.
- Greg (9/5): - Beautiful setting. Basic but well equipped. Perfect setting for 3 families/friends. Very welcoming host. A pod coffee machine would be great as you are out of town. N/Att
- SuperMo (9/5): -
- Ellen (10/5): Spectacular - The tranquility of the property. The cabin was one of three and it was perfect. It was clean, homely, comfortable and warm. Loved the addition of the sheep on the hill, especially the black faced one who was very friendly. There was nothing to not like it was superb
- Lance (9/5): Pleasant stay - Comfortable stay for 2 people. Clean tidy well appointed. Friendly host. There is highway noise but unit has double glazed windows so highway noise is minimal inside unit.
