Located across the road from the beach in Penguin, Penguin Beachfront Apartments offers self-catering accommodations. The beautiful Cradle Mountain National Park is a 1-hour drive.

Very clean and very large would be a great place for a family but a bit to large for the 2 of us to take full advantage of the room

Madsen Retreat, hotel in Penguin

Madsen Retreat offers pet-friendly accommodations in Penguin. Free secure on-site parking available. A full cooked English breakfast is available for an additional $15 per person, per night.

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.

High On Penguin, hotel in Penguin

Located in Penguin, in a building dating from 2002, High On Penguin offers barbecue facilities and guestrooms with free WiFi. Guests can make use of a garden.

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.

    Wayne is the most warm and welcoming home stay host.

    Wayne is the most warm and welcoming home stay host. He and his two gentle border collies welcomed us and our kelpie into their beautiful home which sits near to but well above the beautiful beaches and main street of Penguin offering magnificent views of the vast Bass Strait. The people of Penguin are very friendly, the community run Op Shop full of fashions and treasures, bakery offering a huge range of delicious treats and free bikkies for visiting dogs, the fabulous Seasons by the Sea restaurant sitting right on the beach and run by delightful mother and daughters offering excellent local wines and creative food to die for! Clean accessible golden beaches with dog friendly leash free options, clean public toilets and lawns and play areas for children. The Neptune Hotel bistro on the seafront offers restaurant quality food served by the most welcoming friendly staff.

    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 easy to walk around and has a lovely beachside walk along the coast.

    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.

    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.

    Loved everything about Penguin and the beach house was perfect. It was so comfortable and the views spectacular. Everything was catered for and being that I am so fussy with bed comfort and cleanliness, this house excelled. Mum and I had a wonderful time and weather was clear warm and sunny so the sunrise walk in the morning along the beach path to town for coffee was amazing. Thanks so much for the relaxing getaway. We are seriously thinking of packing up and moving to Penguin from Hobart 😁 Thanks again, Tracy and Lorna.

    Great location, very large room with lots of beds, perfect for a family. Easy under cover parking. Right on the main street of beautiful Penguin with IGA shopping and restaurants all within a stroll. The garden view room is at the back of the building therefore their is not a view of the water however there is a deck off the back that is in full sun in the afternoon, perfect for a wine. Large double downstairs and 4+ single beds upstairs. Big kitchen and large TV - however not a smart Tv.

    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.

    The location of this property is fantastic. Our children absolutely loved the animals and we enjoyed our morning coffee with magnificent sunrises over the bay. Hugh and Liz were fantastic hosts and had great recommendations of things to do around the area suited to our family. Next time we travel to Tasmania we will be returning to Penguin Seaside Farm. Thanks Hugh and Liz!

    Central location in Penguin with parking right outside the door. The best thing is you can walk everywhere in town. The accommodation was pretty good and we quickly made ourselves at home here. The beach is across the road so not hard to see the sites.
