House was very close to Penguin center and the beachfront but also set back enough that it was nice and quiet. Owner was very nice and very accommodating, with lots of helpful local information and suggestions, Room was nicely appointed with sea views, very comfy bed and nice walk through shower and bathroom. It was also nice to be able to use the rear, enclosed garden and sit out on the garden furniture to relax. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Nothing I can think of

Place is absolutely gorgeous! It's very private and relaxing, rooms are spacious and sparkly clean! They have everything you need to make yourself a cuppa and some toast. There's a massive shared kitchen downstairs. There's a fully fenced backyard where your furry friends can roam free. The host Ting is absolutely lovely and very accommodating. Will definitely be back.

The Madsen Retreat is close to village of penguin, an easy 5 minute walk to the beach. Breakfast was good with a selection from the continental menu to choose from. Ting was very nice, helpful and friendly, ready to assist with anything needed. She also provided good advice to see the local penguin colony.

Nothing much to advise.

The included continental breakfast that was delivered to our rooms was very generous and extensive. Lovely and fresh. Ting was very friendly and helpful in providing any assistance or information we needed about the area.

The sitting area was a bit awkward for 4 people upstairs, but we had use of a lovely space downstairs to eat dinner.

A continental breakfast is offered, with local pastries included. The managers communications are fantastic, from ensuring check in times are sorted to notifying of breakfast being served to your room and making sure you have everything you need. I felt so at home and the linen is good quality and the bedding extremely comfortable and to wake to a distant ocean just made the days all the more inviting.

Ting was very friendly and provided through information on how to enter property after hours due to late booking and even later arrival. My continental breakfast was amazing, the best l've experienced when staying in Australia. l thoroughly recommend staying there and wished l could have stayed longer.

N/A

The property was immaculate, the rooms were so beautifully set out with everything you need, our host Ting was amazing, she greeted us at the door and was so kind and friendly. Ting was so helpful with any information we needed on places to eat and things to do, we couldn’t of asked for a better place to stay.

Location was great, as we had not long arrived in Penguin. Finding accommodation was pretty hard, as a lot of places were full and we came across your site. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.Exc

Nice spacious room, clean and comfortable with a nice view. Ting, the owner very friendly and helpful, even insisted on carrying our suitcases up the stairs, and back down when we left. Continental breakfast was delivered to our room at agreed time, some tasty fresh pastries included.

could have had some tea/coffee mugs in room in place of the old cafe style cups.

The venue, the location, the amenities available and the service.

That there was 15 minute intervals for the spa and that it had to be shut down by 9pm. We left dinner early to make sure we could utilise the spa jets more than twice in an hour.
