Fantastic

We spent one fantastic night at Penguin. And what a view - the photos don’t do it justice. Location is spot on with everything nearby. Apartment is extremely well thought out and has everything you need. The deck was the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy a coffee in the morning and a drink in the evening. Wish we could have stayed longer - plan on heading back one day!
