Top Little Penguin Observation Centre Hotel Reviews

Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was excellent, roomy and very clean. The staff in the restaurant were friendly and the meals were amazing. We will definitely stay again if we're ever in this area"

The Duck House

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic period house located near the shopping center of town. All the amenities that you could wish for. Our Blue Heeler loved the place and had a good investigation around the back yard. Highly recommend a stay here. Our host was very pleasant and we had a good chinwag with him."

The Waterfront Wynyard

8/10 Good

"Convenient quiet location."

Burnie by the Bay Apartments

8/10 Good

"At first glance it does not look promising as it is actually on the Bass Highway next to an intersection, so noisy if in the lounge, but the main bedroom is at the back and traffic dies down at night so it is not so much a problem. That said, in fact the location is excellent as it is a short walk into town along the boardwalk where the little penguins come ashore. The amenities are clean and excellent with a shared laundry and off-street parking although the kitchen utensils could do with some rethinking, and some of the outdoor lights need new globes - something which is probably not evident if the apartment is serviced in daylight. These are minor quibbles, easily fixed, and, all in all, it is a good place in which to base yourself for touring the north coast."

Burnie, Tasmania

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place to start our visit of the North West Coast, property was just perfect for our stay. Easy to locate and close to a number of places to walk and enjoy the coastal fringe."
