    The train woke me the first night, I forgot how close the train line was, but I didn’t hear it the second night!

    The property was in a good location and was so beautifully presented. Extremely clean and the bed was soooo good! And the view is breathtaking!

    The only thing we didn’t like is that we couldn’t stay longer 😞

    It was an awesome place to stay. It was close to everything. It was exceptionally clean, the view from the big windows is amazing.

    The accommodation was very nice, comfortable and very wheelchair friendly. Nothing to fault about the accommodation but found the access to the boulevard a bit difficult. No were to cross the road safely.

    Unfortunately its close to the railway where noisy trains go along several times a day, and at night bright light comes in between the window blinds, but after a few days I got more used to it. I think they have quieter flats with the view of the creek rather than the view of the beach.

    I loved the view, the location - very close to the beach, easy to walk to the creek, the bus stops, the shops, the huge weekly market - the very spacious living/kitchen/bed room, the enormous and very glamorous bathroom, the comfortable furniture and useful kitchen facilities, all exceeded my expectations

    The only slight thing was that the couch was uncomfortable. The cushions kept slipping.

    Location was very good. Very impressed with what is happening in Penguin. Liked the shower/bathroom. The whole thing was very modern. well designed and user friendly. Lovely kitchen. We loved the wildlife show in the creek even though there was no platypus. The owner was very friendly and helpful

    The location requires a car to access. And it would be better if the house has at least one big oven and dishwasher for common use.

    Being a group of 9 people, its 4 rooms fit us perfectly, and we can use the common area as our dining place. Since each room has its own kitchenette and bathroom, each group can make the food at the same time. Anna, the host, is very responsive to our requests and made an extra effort to get us a nespresso coffee machine and boxes of coffee capsules.

    A tad noisy, fronting the main street and train tracks. Try to stay in rear units near creek.

    Beautiful newly furnished room. Very comfortable. Friendly and informative owner. Short walk to beach and town.
