Nightcap at Burnie Townhouse

8/10 Good
"The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable, and the location was very convenient, within easy walking distance of Burnie town centre and local restaurants. The main downside was the parking. We werenโ€™t able to get a parking spot at the hotel during our stay and had to use paid parking in the surrounding streets. The hotel restaurant kitchen also closes at 8:30pm on weekends, which was a little inconvenient when working late and returning to the hotel in the evening. Other than those two issues, we were happy with our stay and the hotel overall."

"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!"
