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.

Penguin is a beautiful friendly seaside town, that punches well above it's weight in quality restaurants and shops! El Perro Tapas Restaurant& Bar & The letterbox cafe are stand out options!
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.
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.
Cute place with lots of character. Reception was very pleasant and we really didn't see anyone after that. Right on the main street across from the beach and we were able to park right there on the street. Easy drive to Burnie where we found a lovely restaurant on the water. After dinner we walked a few minutes along the boardwalk to watch the penguins come in.
Penguin is a lovely town.
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!
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.

the apartment located at a wonderful place that you may see the moonrise from the living room. and the super markets are near by, in front of us are white sand little playground. the apartment itself is well designed, clean and provides bug tub. really really in love with here!
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.
The evening port was certainly appreciated. Look forward to a return visit.
Views Views Views Of Penguin, the Unique house's memorabilia of rock and music icons from 60's,70's mainly . Books about musicians and singers, not that I had time to read them, Id need a couple of months!!( So Many), Pictures everywhere.
This is an amazing place to stay. You feel you are so far away from everything but a quick drive down the road and you are in the quaint Penguin. The host is excellent, the farm animals delightful and the views gorgeous.
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)
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.
