Traveller reviews

“Really good”
29 Nov 2024
The place was nice and honestly a little surprising. The downstairs had a bar and possibly more (I wasn't there long). The staff was friendly and accommodating. the kitchen facilities seemed good and there seemed to be enough room in the fridge for everyone. the location in penguin is good being located close to places like Burnie, Devonport, Latrobe and cradle mountain. the bed

“Fantastic location, reasonably priced”
16 May 2024
Right at the heart of Penguin! I was staying in August and there was barely anyone else staying the 5th e hostel so had the whole room for myself. Warm duvet and blankets as well as towels provided. Rooms were quite spacious with tables, chairs, shelves and cheater in. Kitchen was well equipped with a lot of fridge space. Really easy to drive up and around to other seaside towns.
