Madsen Retreat

10/10 Excellent
"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!"
