Magic views, right on the beach. Property has everything you could need and right next to a good supermarket. Easy off-street parking.

Brilliant beach front location with beautiful views and close to all that Penguin has to offer, including cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, walks and bike paths and a fenced playground just across the steet.
Kevin
Hidden Gem right in the open
Incredible apartment with next level views. Spotlessly clean with every thing you could possibly want to make your stay perfect.
Mary
This is an absolutely beautiful, luxurious accommodation. We stayed in room 1, the spacious two bedroom apartment upstairs. With a large, airy, open plan lounge/kitchen/dining area, every room was immaculate, beautifully appointed and well-equipped with everything you might need for a very comfortable stay. A gorgeous ocean view, a large balcony deck for enjoying the views, and very lovely, gracious hosts. If you're coming to NW Tassie, this is a very fine place to stay. Highly recommended.

Beautiful apartment with views across to the beach, and just down the road from the famous Big Penguin.

Unique decor, large open plan space. Beautiful waterfront views, in the centre of town for exploring. IGA and bakery very close by.
A little hard to find clear signage for the property and parking.
No freezer in the mini fridge.

The whole apartment was spacious and warm. Beautiful big window/door looking to the beach and welcoming the sun every morning. Fantastic bathroom, very roomy.
Bed and pillows a little hard, but that's your own preference. Would stay again for sure.

Beautiful Place in Penguin
Penguin Waterfront Escape is in a great location, modern, well appointed and very clean. The fact that we didn’t stay long enough there was the only disappointment.
Verified traveler
Absolutely loved this property! The million dollar views the quietness to the town and friendly and warm experience we had.
Few crumbs left under couch from previous guests and stairs felt a little slippery in the wet.

A happy Penguin
A fabulous locale. Wish we could have spent more time there! Our advice: give yourself a present by staying as long as possible in this beautiful villa by the sea. The owner, Terri gave us an excellent bottle of Pinot Noir when we arrived after the bottle shops were closed. One note: at 3 AM we were surprised by a loud screetching noise. We woke with a jolt, wondered what was happening and then realized it was the freight train that runs nearby and the wheels were making a lot of noise on the tracks. Went back to bed and slept til the AM. But, all-in-all very, very special place.
Verified traveler
The room was clean, the sea view was great and the owner was friendly.

Beautiful, modern, clean property, located right on the beach. The stunning views from the large balcony made this a treasured holiday!
Verified traveler
The unit was lovely right acros the road from the beach but still very quiet. It is beautifully presented with everything you could wish for to be comfortable. A fully equipped kitchen with plenty of china & cutlery. It was our second stay in less than a month. So good the first time we went back with our husbands.

They Double booked and were disorganised..
They declined our booking for 2 family appartments even after I sent my confirmation email to them. They had double booked, although we booked over 6 months ago. They seemed very disorganised but I was lucky to find last minute accommodation nearby who ran rings around them at a cheaper rate.

Clean nice place.
Easy access and comfortable.
One disappointing thing, internet was disconnected second day of our stay.
