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.

Rooms: Large rooms in a historic home. Beds are very comfortable and with plush carpet and good heating, these rooms are a delight to sleep in. Noteworthy details: This is a unique experience with two highly experienced hosts that know how to give you a genuine A level B&B experience!

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.
5/5

Top of the class

Absolutely the best BnB we have been to including overseas in UK. Attention to detail, quality, cleanliness and friendliness is top class. Steve and Karen are both great hosts and very generous with their time to make recommendations and explain the extensive history of the building.
A genuine review from a Tripadvisor member
We stayed in the Owen Room which was huge with a great view, but the other rooms look equally impressive.

Cannot rate this any more highly. Great stay and find.

5/5

Warm welcome and history!

A truly warm welcome to a historic house placed within a walk of the Wilderness Railway in Queenstown. Karen and Stephen are super hosts committed to the history of the house and delivering for their guests. Comfort and interest abound! We had a great stay!

Beautiful stay in a grand old house

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at Penghana. Two couples travelling together, we each had an ensuite room. The rooms were spacious, warm, well appointed and very comfortable with so much attention to detail – a full suite of towels – including a nice big bath sheet which you don’t usually get in most accommodation.
A genuine review from a Tripadvisor member
Breakfasts were delicious, I felt very spoilt rocking up to an elegantly laid out dining room and placing my order.

Nothing seemed too much trouble in this grand old house.

Penghana Bed and Breakfast

We stayed at Penghana B & B for 3 incredible nights while visiting Queenstown. Our wonderful hosts, Steve and Karen became instant friends as soon as we walked through the magnificent front door of this historic property. Our stay there was the highlight of our two week tour of Tasmania.
Genuine review from a guest via Google
Steve and Karen certainly know how to make guests feel so welcome and look after you beyond all expectations, including the superb cooked breakfast and coffee each morning in the dining room

We would certainly recommend a stay here while in Queenstown.

An outstanding B&B in Queenstown

We recently stayed at Penghana B&B which can only be described as perfect! The historic nature and presence of this grand house built in 1898 is simply stunning. The location of this residence overlooking Queenstown is magnificent. It’s hard to fathom how a house of this grandeur could have ever been built in such a harsh and isolated environment if it were not for the mining boom during this period. Karen and Steve are such marvellous hosts. We were made to feel very welcome from the first greeting. The introduction to the residence with a tour set the scene for a great stay. The rooms and facilities were excellent.

If you’re planning to stay in Queenstown, do yourself a favour and make a plan to stay in a grand Queen Anne Federation style residence.

The Pinnacle of Queenstown Accommodation

Penghana B&B is a treasure. Karen & Steve are warm, welcoming & personable hosts. The house is magnificent & our room for 2 nights, the Owen room overlooking Mt Owen was sensational. Spacious, very well appointed with generous little touches including robes, slippers, home made cake on arrival, tea, coffee & biscuits. The silver service breakfast was sensationally prepared to order by Steve who excelled. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & the guidance Karen & Steve offered us.
