We really enjoyed our short 2 night stay at Seafront. So close to the ferry and also to the Penneshaw Pub and other cafes and the local IGA, also the evening penguin spotting tour which was fantastic. Highly recommend!

Property is dated, paint peeling off, stains on carpet. Strange layout of toilet smack bang in the middle of the room instead of on the side. However it was in a very convenient location.

We had a one night stay after all ferries were cancelled. I was happy with the property description of the garden villa we booked. It was a lovely spacious clean villa. The bathroom and kitchen were really lovely and big bed was comfy and lots of extra pillows and blankets. Sofa bed in lounge could do with updating as it’s pretty tired. The main building is a bit empty and soulless but we ate at the great penneshaw pub anyway.
