Historical house with a long history. Excellent facilities and the Bed was good. Room was huge as was the wardrobe area and bathroom also excellent. Hosts made you very welcome and explained the history of the house which was very interesting. There was also a guest lounge and kitchen that could be used any time. It is a B&B so breakfast was 5 star and made to your order in the morning. A very nice place to stay. If we come back to this area we would definitely stay there again.

Nothing. Everything we wanted was taken care of.

I loved the breakfast at Penghana. Every item on the place was cooked to perfection, leaving me feeling well-fed and energised for my hike up Cradle Mountain. As a self-proclaimed coffee snob, I found the coffee delightful as well! Although I only stayed overnight, I had the absolute pleasure of talking to both Karen and Steve. They shared their fascinating their journey of relocating from QLD to Tasmania, as well as their family life and hobbies. I discovered Steve's huge passion for Arsenal football!.

I couldn't find a single fault about this place; It was a heritage-listed gem brimming with character. I truly appreciated the numerous small touches that Karen and Steve provided for their guests. From the thoughtful amenities such as a spray for cleaning glasses to the delightful treats available at the kitchen, every detail was carefully considered. I was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome gift - a slice of fruit cake - and the unexpected but much appreciated essentials like a packet of candies and a toilet cover for my journey to Cradle Mountain. I also enjoyed having a glass of Tasmanian produced pinot noir at the bar while conversing with both Karen and Steve. These gestures truly enhanced my experience and made my stay even more enjoyable.

Wonderful house and beautifully cared for by the friendly knowledgeable couple who manage it - they really have done the community a favour, it’s sad that the national trust don’t spend more on the upkeep and garden. I usually prefer modern properties - so was reluctant but loved all the little touches and the decor feels like a big elegant family home.

National Trust really need to step up the maintenance - the windows are deteriorating and need attention.

My experience staying at Penghana was Extraordinary!!!!!!. The Hosts Karen & Steve made me feel like I was staying with relatives I have not seen for a long while. They emailed very clear instructions on how to get there plus all the information regarding dinner requirements and what to do in Queenstown. From the grand sense of arrival and the personal greeting at the Front Door, to attending to your every need, I immediately felt at home. I loved the home made fruit-cake, (by Karen) waiting especially for me completed with a nice cup of tea. Not only does the building have so much interesting history, (So Much History!!!) Karen & Steve were the ultimate hosts & tour guides. The offer of an Umbrella, (so may little things) and I'm sure I have forgotten to mention so many others). The personal tour, by Steve, of the attic and secret rooms was a real treat for me!!!. I will forever treasure the commentary. Their attention to detail in the guest bedrooms, (including full toiletries, full bath room and hairdryer and specific decor), skipped nothing, including hot-water bottles, fluffy dressing gown, etc, if needed, but my room heating was more than adequate.) The thoughtfulness given to every room, & amenities (common kitchen with all one would need) can not be overlooked. Fully stocked licenced bar and the 3 course silver service Breakfast was one of the best!!!! Steve cooks the breakfast himself. My only regret was not staying longer... Lovely, caring, GENUINE people and good friends now. Karen & Steve excel at what they do.!! I cannot wait to return one day.

Nothing!

The spacious thoughtfully decorated bedroom and other associated rooms, plus the lofty town view. Walking to and from the premises to town via the rain forest gardens and steps. We greatly appreciated the offer from Karen and Steve to drive us both ways from in town dining. Good recommendations about places to eat in the evening in Queenstown. We especially enjoyed the Thai restaurant with its gregarious "ORANGE man" owner.

The breakfast was absolutely perfect. At home we grind our own coffee and use a really nice coffee machine, that produces lots of coffee flavor. Its an Spanish Expobar machine from Medhurst Kitchen Supplies in Hobart - So yes we like strong coffee.-

Breakfast was a great start to the day - timely, impeccable food and service - delightful choices. The house is a National Trust property - interesting, historical, and elegant. It is comprehensively embellished and decorated. With its elevated position above Queenstown, guests feel 'kings of the castle'. Parking is convenient and secure.

The internal stairs could be challenge for some.

It is by far the best B&B we have stayed. Karen & Steve have put so much love into the place and services. They gave excellent helps even before we got there, providing detailed instructions on how to get there, booking the restaurant & activities for us, etc. It was an experience we'd never forget. Highly recommend to anyone who visit Queenstown/Strahan area!

Nothing. It's a shame it is too far for us to visit and stay more often.

Penghana B&B was exceptional in every way. From the status of the house high on the hill overlooking Queenstown to all the exquisite furnishings and facilities that Karen & Steve provided and the sumptuous cooked breakfast we could not fault our stay. Thank you Steve and Karen for the time you spent talking to us and showing us your beautiful house, Joy & Chris.

Absolutely nothing.

Karen and Steve went above and beyond to ensuring our stay was nothing short of amazing! It's was a breath of fresh air staying at their bed and breakfast , they have taken so much attention to the finer details. On arrival we were taken for a tour of the heritage home, Steve is charming and qecky and he made the tour very pleasant. He recommended places for us to dine , even booked in dinner of us at a local restaurant and went an extra mile to chauffeur us to and from.. The bed and pillows were super comfortable and clean .Breakfast was to die for, everything was locally sourced and prepared to perfection. Karen and Steve are knowledge in their craft as well as thier surroundings. We felt spoilt and would certainly return on our next trip to Tassie. Marcel & Thabo

It was immaculately presented and the hosts were eager to make the stay enjoyable. When you first step into the room you have so much appreciation of the detail they have included in each room. Years of collecting pieces of furniture has certainly been our reward . Breakfast was amazing and nothing was too much trouble.

There was nothing that we didn’t appreciate.
