Mid-Week at Penguin Mews

I like staying at Penguin Mews because of its location and ease of parking. Yes it's getting a bit old now but it still offers the same sensational view of the lake so I can watch the tides come and go. I'll be back, cheers

Excellent location!

Excellent location, across from the water; quick stroll to shops and restaurants. Unit is accessible and has good amenities with all necessary kitchen supplies, microwave, stove and oven, full sized fridge and freezer and dishwasher. Unit also has a washing machine in the bathroom, heated towel rack and hair dryer. The cleanliness of the unit was lacking in the kitchen, living area and water closet, but the beds were very clean. As other reviews mentioned this unit is in need of a refresh. Communication with property management was excellent; very prompt and effective. Check in and check out were also very easy.

Did not match images in stayz

Location was the best thing about this stay. Condition of property was poorly maintained. Furniture was damaged carpet had big visible stains. Couch was not vacuumed and found dirt under the cushions. Courtyard was unappealing to say the least and had rotting fence palings and leaf litter. Needed a complete makeover.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Communication with the host, when needed, was great. The location was fabulous, really can't beat it - just a 2min stroll to the centre of town, water views, your own parking space. Huge sliding doors that open to the front sitting area, where there's a picnic table - great for your morning coffee. The unit itself is older style and the furniture a bit dated, but it's clean, comfortable and had everything we needed (fridge, stove and oven, microwave, dishwasher, smart tv, wifi, washing machine, split system for heating/cooling). We had our dog with us, it was very dog friendly. My only suggestion for personal preference is to bring a foam topper for your bed if you don't like a firmer mattress (I like soft beds, I brought my topper, and was completely comfortable with that). We will definitely be back.
