I made contact with the host days leading up to my arrival to inform I would be arriving rather late to told I would be sent details upon arrival. On the morning of my last night there I was sent txt msgs accusing me of smoking which I do not nor have I ever done so to make it worse the host wrote there in bold but accusing only me!!! I was literally there to only sleep due to a busy schedule with friends to celebrate my birthday. I never used the spa didn’t make any noise and most certainly didn’t smoke. The property should also disclose that it’s not accessible friendly for people like myself with impaired mobility!! All the accommodation is upstairs and not very well lit. Thank goodness for having friends living nearby as I didn’t feel comfortable returning to the property I would never recommend nor stay here again ever

One night only. Very good. Everything as expected. Price reasonable. Bed comfortable. Facilities clean and tidy. Nice view over town out to Bass Strait. Walking distance to cafes and small town centre. A few interesting little shops in main street. Will stay again.

The Madsen Retreat provides a quiet, comfortable room that is well appointed (kettle, coffee maker, refrigerator, smart TV, fast wi-fi) and includes a continental breakfast that is served in your room. Ting offers a personal welcome and helps with your bags. Everything you could want from a B&B.

We enjoyed the stay very much. The reception is courteously friendly. The room is furnished with style and elegance and very clean. One of the highlights is the individual breakfast, which is brought to the room at the desired time - with announcement via SMS. The hostess provides lots of valuable information about Penguin and excursions in the surrounding area. A first-class address.

It's a guest house, with 3 private rooms, and a common area downstairs if you choose to use it. The host Ting was in contact before we arrived to find out arrival time. On arrival, she met us and showed us to our room. She was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Our room had ocean views and a nice cross breeze from the open windows. Very modern, king-sized bed, and roomy. The room was very comfortable with good sleep quality. Complimentary continental breakfast, which you could order the night before with a form, rounded out the pleasant stay. Oh yeah, easy walking distance to eateries, although 2 or 3 aren't open Mondays and Tuesdays. Considering the room rate, this place is EXCEPTIONAL value. Would recommend.

I have stayed here on numerous occasions and have found this property to be one of the best I have stayed at in Tasmania. I travel frequently with work and love staying here. The views, a complimentary drink and option of a continental breakfast is brilliant. Rooms are always clean and I just love the view. Ting who manages this place will do anything to make my stay the best she can. I have not only recommended this place to my friends and family, but my colleagues and senior managers at my company. I will be staying here whenever I am in the NW.
