From the moment we walked into our penguin accommodation we were overwhelmed - it was simply beautiful. The property was incredibly comfortable, with breathtaking views and a location that couldn't be better. It suited all our needs perfectly. We honestly can't begin to say how much we enjoyed our stay. If it were possible we would give it 6 stars!Staying here was one of the highlights of our holiday in Tasmania.We also fell in love with Penguin itself - such a charming little town.A truly memorable experience all round.cheers Michael and Chris

Novo Penguin

Large and spacious in a great locality. However, we found the stairs very steep, people who have mobility problems may not cope. Paying a premium nightly rate, in our opinion it was quite unreasonable to ask guests to water the plants & put the rubbish bins out into the street. A missing louvre in the ensuite meant we had to cover the gap with a bath towel to give us privacy from the lounge. No mention was made of this prior to arrival. Time of check in was a little confusing as we were informed it was 3.00pm but on our arrival the compendium stated it was 2.00pm.

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. Glad you enjoyed the location. Regarding the stairs, we are very clear about this in our listing so that we can set your expectations when you arrive at the property. We do not oblige our guests to water that plants - it was just a gentle request as a courtesy to the owner. Regarding putting out the rubbish - we made you aware of this when you signed the terms and conditions upon your booking. Sorry that you got confused about the check in. Our standard check-in time is from 3pm onwards. We have put this forward to the property manager to avoid further confusion with our next guests. We sincerely hope that you had a great time during your stay despite these minor issues and we look forward to hosting you again next time.
