With just a two-night stay (our third stay over some 20 years), we have ambitions to return.
😀 - 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.

A must stay on the West Coast
An amazing trip - I was here for a conference, but the West Coast, Queenstown and Penghana B & B made this feel like a holiday. Karen is an amazing host - from the cosy bedsheets and fruitcake to the well-stocked wine cellar and rooms to explore (thanks for the tour, Karen!). I cannot recommend highly enough - stay here, you will not be disappointed!

The supreme Bed & Breakfast stay
Firstly, Karen's meticulous eye to detail is second to none. From her welcome at the door to the next morning's amazing breakfast this lovely lady and Steve host a superb Bed & Breakfast. (Speaking of breakfast, you must try her bircher muesli. And Steve's bread.) Authentic period decor, wonderful linen and beds, lovely thoughtful touches throughout; there is too much to mention individually. Every industry award is well deserved. The best part though is how welcome and comfortable Karen made us feel. We loved every minute of our stay. Thank you!

Excellent historic accommodation and awesome hosts
😀 - Excellent old mansion with a huge history in Queenstown. Susanna and Gordon are excellent hosts, nothing was too much trouble and they provided information on what to see and helped with bookings. Gordon's breakfast is the best! Highly recommend the stay. 😞 - A power board in the room would be helpful.

Wonderful Experience
When we first come into Queenstown, Penghana stood out high on a beautiful hill. It did not disappoint. As soon as we entered the front door, we were made very welcome. The old mansion was beautifully kept, with history on the walls, old style furniture and a feel of going back in time. We stayed in the Owen Suit which had a great view of Queenstown, nicely laid out antique furniture and a lovely decanter of Port. Steven & Karen went beyond our expectations, even chauffeuring us into town for dinner and picking us up. We what else can l say! You will just have to find out when you get here.

Thank you so much for the unforgettable memories!

It has been several years since we were passing through and stayed in this beautiful place for just one night. We still remember this wonderful corner and Steve’s unsurpassed attention.

We would return again with great pleasure.

A history experience in the wilds of southwest Tasssie

This most beautiful National Trust property is now the most delightful and sumptuous B and B. The rooms are stuffed with gorgeous furniture, super comfortable big beds and lovely art. Linen is top quality, towels are fluffy, hot water is generous and consistent, a bugbear of mine is dodgy showers! The hosts, Karen and Steve know their business and it’s their little touches that raise this place up.

A complimentary taxi down to the pub and back goes above and beyond.

Wonderful home and amazing hosts. A home away from home.

High on a hill in picturesque Queenstown sits Penghana, a charming period homestead. Once inside we were welcomed by the most delightful hosts and stunning accommodation with superb attention to detail. Karen and Steve were so kind and thoughtful and made us feel truly at home.
A genuine review from a Tripadvisor member
The rooms are beautifully fitted out and the beds wonderfully comfortable.

Penghana is the perfect base to explore the west of Tasmania. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Spacious rooms, thoughtful amenities, quiet rooms

We absolutely delighted in the Owen Suite – so gorgeous, huge room, such thoughtful touches and topping it of – Katen and Steve, the genuine hosts with the most. Amazing breakfast, and gorgeous Devonshire Tea. Spoilt and a much enjoyed indulgence. 6/5

Fabulous location, gracious, helpful hosts

We recently stayed for 3 nights at Penghana. It exceeded our expectations. It is obvious why this opulent house is a National Trust listing. The hosts, Karen and Steve, are knowledgeable, passionate and accommodating. The breakfasts are legendary. The hosts’ attention to detail makes for a comfortable, memorable and enjoyable experience. Would highly recommend.

…the jewel of the West Coast

The facilities, top class fittings & furniture are beyond expectations of a home of this age. Karen and Steve are great hosts providing a beautiful breakfast served on the finest china in the formal dining room. We enjoyed the comfort of the shared sitting room adjacent to our rooms on the upper floor, and the materials and local tips provided by our hosts to make the most of our visit out west.
