12 guests' feedbackWe had a great time and stay in Penguin House. Wonderful view, enough space for a large group and very well equipped. The people who visited the penguins did not bother us at all.
We were all very pleasantly surprised by how amazing the house's location is. The views from the veranda are breathtaking and very special to be so close to the penguins!
Absolutely beautiful house in a fabulous position. And a surprise of table tennis too. Loved seeing the penguins all around. Enjoyed the bikes too but bring a pump!
Beautiful house with amazing views. The house had everything we needed. The penguins in the backyard were a treasure. Lots of little touches that were really appreciated. Would definitely go back.
Penguin House is wonderfully equipped with enough space for everyone. Incredible view and so special with all the penguins in your garden.
The view was unbeatable. The penguins here on your own doorstep are very special.
We enjoyed our stay a lot. The view was just amazing.
Stylish simplicity. Conveniently located. Great getaway.
Not very private with everyone coming to view the penguins and overlooking the house, so sitting outside to enjoy the view is not an option, also some people just enter the property to view the penguins. The blue couch and carpet in the living room are disgusting. Roof in the one bathroom is leaking when raining. Otherwise, the house is very beautiful and we enjoyed the view early mornings and late evenings. Bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean. Main beach is a bit far if you have to travel with little ones.
The house is clean, has everything we needed. Great holiday.
Penguin House is located within the conservation area with the very best view of the bay. The penguins are everywhere in the garden and can make quite a few penguin noises, day and night! For us it was a festival but for people who are looking for absolute silence it might bother them. The house is very well furnished, clean and tidy with everything you need. The WiFi is very slow but it didn't bother us. We were there for rest and the penguins and cormorants provided hours of viewing pleasure. The house is for families who like to do things together. There are lots of games, table tennis and even bicycles! It was absolutely worth it. The fireplace was a bonus. Can't wait to visit again.
The house is lovely - very practical and homely. Of course my favourite part was the fact that the back garden was filled with penguins - incredibly special. A word of warning though - they can get a bit noisy at night so if nature and animals are not your 'thing' then this special blessing may not be for you. There are stern warnings of crime in the area which were a bit daunting - in the same breath I felt quite safe and felt that the warnings were more to create awareness.
