Beautiful historic homes with every sign of quality and service. Enjoyed a full breakfast but best for for several day stay.

Absolutely nothing.

Penghana B&B was exceptional in every way. From the status of the house high on the hill overlooking Queenstown to all the exquisite furnishings and facilities that Karen & Steve provided and the sumptuous cooked breakfast we could not fault our stay. Thank you Steve and Karen for the time you spent talking to us and showing us your beautiful house, Joy & Chris.

I couldn't find a single fault about this place; It was a heritage-listed gem brimming with character. I truly appreciated the numerous small touches that Karen and Steve provided for their guests. From the thoughtful amenities such as a spray for cleaning glasses to the delightful treats available at the kitchen, every detail was carefully considered. I was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome gift - a slice of fruit cake - and the unexpected but much appreciated essentials like a packet of candies and a toilet cover for my journey to Cradle Mountain. I also enjoyed having a glass of Tasmanian produced pinot noir at the bar while conversing with both Karen and Steve. These gestures truly enhanced my experience and made my stay even more enjoyable.

I loved the breakfast at Penghana. Every item on the place was cooked to perfection, leaving me feeling well-fed and energised for my hike up Cradle Mountain. As a self-proclaimed coffee snob, I found the coffee delightful as well! Although I only stayed overnight, I had the absolute pleasure of talking to both Karen and Steve. They shared their fascinating their journey of relocating from QLD to Tasmania, as well as their family life and hobbies. I discovered Steve's huge passion for Arsenal football!.

There was nothing that we didn’t appreciate.

It was immaculately presented and the hosts were eager to make the stay enjoyable. When you first step into the room you have so much appreciation of the detail they have included in each room. Years of collecting pieces of furniture has certainly been our reward . Breakfast was amazing and nothing was too much trouble.

Everything was delightful.

Karen and Steve made our stay a special one, with their hospitable approach. We had a warm welcome, great breakfasts and exceptional accommodation - the Owen Room is spacious and comfortable, with the perfect view over Queenstown. Penghanna is undoubtably the best place to stay in town.

We liked everything starting with the generous space and the classic interior of a Manor House and last not least the caring, warm and professional service of Karen and Steve, very rare to find nowadays.

Property was presented beautifully with furnishings of yesteryear

Stayed in January 2024

Nothing. It's a shame it is too far for us to visit and stay more often.

It is by far the best B&B we have stayed. Karen & Steve have put so much love into the place and services. They gave excellent helps even before we got there, providing detailed instructions on how to get there, booking the restaurant & activities for us, etc. It was an experience we'd never forget. Highly recommend to anyone who visit Queenstown/Strahan area!

Everything- attentive hosts, who have lots of interesting stories to tell and set the mood to feel very cozy. Food was amazing and amenities are classic, chic decor with everything you need. True treasure.

Stayed in December 2023

No shortfalls. The path to town was a little neglected but usable nevertheless.

The ambience and extravagent spaciousness of the bedroom and public rooms was exceptional. The breakfast was excellent. The view from the room and the history of the house were fascinating.

The only thing we can think of is that it seemed like any noise outside our room was too audible.

Port and sherry up for grabs in the dining rooms. Very nice english breakfast and how it was setup in the morning. Had current Netflix. Wonderful views of Queenstown and the mountains. The old history, architecture and heritage of the building itself. Karen and Steve were friendly hosts.

My experience staying at Penghana was Extraordinary!!!!!!. The Hosts Karen & Steve made me feel like I was staying with relatives I have not seen for a long while. They emailed very clear instructions on how to get there plus all the information regarding dinner requirements and what to do in Queenstown. From the grand sense of arrival and the personal greeting at the Front Door, to attending to your every need, I immediately felt at home. I loved the home made fruit-cake, (by Karen) waiting especially for me completed with a nice cup of tea. Not only does the building have so much interesting history, (So Much History!!!) Karen & Steve were the ultimate hosts & tour guides. The offer of an Umbrella, (so may little things) and I'm sure I have forgotten to mention so many others). The personal tour, by Steve, of the attic and secret rooms was a real treat for me!!!. I will forever treasure the commentary. Their attention to detail in the guest bedrooms, (including full toiletries, full bath room and hairdryer and specific decor), skipped nothing, including hot-water bottles, fluffy dressing gown, etc, if needed, but my room heating was more than adequate.) The thoughtfulness given to every room, & amenities (common kitchen with all one would need) can not be overlooked. Fully stocked licenced bar and the 3 course silver service Breakfast was one of the best!!!! Steve cooks the breakfast himself. My only regret was not staying longer... Lovely, caring, GENUINE people and good friends now. Karen & Steve excel at what they do.!! I cannot wait to return one day.
