Top Penguin Hotel Reviews

The Waterfront Wynyard

The Waterfront Wynyard

10/10 Excellent
"We needed accommodation with our dog. The room was spotless and fresh. Parking was outside the door. And a water view from the room. I was impressed that the room had drinks and snacks to purchase in the minibar/kitchen. Something you don't even find much in large hotels these days. The staff were friendly and helpful on check in and out. Would recommend if your looking for a nice clean room in Wynard. Its quiet and had plenty of food options and nice walks close by. They also do breakfast but we left quite early so didn't have any."

"If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay, this is your place. The neighbourhood is quiet, calm and tranquil. Staying here will allow you to let out the breath you may have been holding and breathe in fresh sea air. Dining options are great; I highly recommend the burgers and fries at Penguin Beer Co. Ting is a wonderful host, the provided breakfast is a lovely way to start the day, while looking out over the ocean. Treat yourself and stay here for more than a night, so you can fully enjoy the beautiful town of Penguin and get some great rest!"
