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.

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.

Seasons by the Sea - restaurant that serves local, seasonal menu. The food and the service was fabulous, all this while overlooking the sea.

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!
The location was beautiful. Wayne’s home has sweeping views out over Bass Strait and the Penguin township.
He was a perfect host, being very friendly and was extremely knowledgeable about Penguin and Tasmania.
Wayne cooked delicious breakfasts for me and went out of his way to ensure that my stay was comfortable and that I was happy and I did not go hungry.
I would recommend Wayne’s home stay to anyone wanting to stay in a home away from home in delightful Penguin.
He has 2 friendly border collies that are also very well behaved.

This was the last Airbnb on our trip around Tasmania and it was the best AirBnB.
Our host welcomed us and said goodbye to us as we left. I would highly recommend this lovely house.
Even though it wasn’t the right time of year to see penguins, our host told us where to spot them and we did, much to our excitement.
A lovely house to stay in; we only stayed one night but it would be great to stay here for longer and use it as a base to see the north coast.
I thoroughly recommend it.
This was our second stay at this property. We absolutely love it there. The view from the cabin is amazing -- we spotted a whale from the living room! It's a very private and very quiet area, which we just love. The fresh eggs are a nice touch too. We were able to do a load of laundry while here. The hosts are so kind. Everything was just amazing and so relaxing. Great value for money here. The little town of Penguin is great.
We enjoyed a fabulous 4 day stay at Penguin Beach House. It was in an excellent location to the town centre, a 10 minute walk into town along a new walkway. The kitchen was very well equipped and the basic condiments available were very handy. The three main bedrooms in the main section of the house were very comfortable as were the two bathrooms. The reverse cycle A/C made the living room very comfortable in the evening.
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.
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!
High on Penguin is run by Gerard, he's an amazing host. I travel for work with my team and I meet a lot of people running places, he really is a stand out! Also the place is great!!
All the breakfast items were so good and thoughtful! Highly recommend to stay here . Thanks again Gerard till next time! Leesa and The Team
Nice spacious room, clean and comfortable with a nice view. Ting, the owner very friendly and helpful, even insisted on carrying our suitcases up the stairs, and back down when we left. Continental breakfast was delivered to our room at agreed time, some tasty fresh pastries included.

The apartment was very spacious, very clean through out and modern. The Beds in particular were extremely comfortable.
It’s position near the sea was ideal.
The free wifi and streaming channels was a big plus.
Over all it would rate 5 stars from me and my wife.
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.
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.
Hotel located in a great location right on the esplanade in Penguin. The hotel is bespoke and the building is quite old but neat and tidy. The bed was very comfortable and we had a great night's sleep.
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.
Loved everything about this cottage. Clean and roomy, quiet and in a great location. Steve was friendly and helpful with places we could visit around Penguin.
Very comfortable and clean apartment in the middle of Penguin, right across from the beach. Includes all the facilities you'd need for a great holiday.
