Location is amazing and the view from room 1 upstairs was lovely. We specifically booked 2 rooms with fold out couches, as we are 4 single people. So this review is really a heads up for those needing extra fold out beds. The couches in rooms 1 & 5 are the type where the back folds down…. They are not beds and were ‘unsleepable’. They also don’t have linen to suit these couch beds. The regular beds were fine - quite comfy. The appliances could do with an upgrade, especially the toaster.

It's a guest house, with 3 private rooms, and a common area downstairs if you choose to use it. The host Ting was in contact before we arrived to find out arrival time. On arrival, she met us and showed us to our room. She was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Our room had ocean views and a nice cross breeze from the open windows. Very modern, king-sized bed, and roomy. The room was very comfortable with good sleep quality. Complimentary continental breakfast, which you could order the night before with a form, rounded out the pleasant stay. Oh yeah, easy walking distance to eateries, although 2 or 3 aren't open Mondays and Tuesdays. Considering the room rate, this place is EXCEPTIONAL value. Would recommend.

We had a wonderful stay in apartment 1. The whole booking experience was super easy with Matt and the apartment was clean spacious felt like a home there moment we walked it. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the wifi was included, reliable and fast. There were lots of little touches in the apartment to make it welcoming and it is centrally located to everything you need in town. The bathroom is accessibility friendly so there’s a shower and toilet beside each other but we knew this when we booked. The view out the main windows is stunning. Would have loved the decorative fireplace to work but understand why it’s not. The reverse air con and big cosy bed kept us warm and toastee. If you are a couple and are staying in Penguin, then look no further than this apartment. We had such a great stay. Thanks

There are not enough stars to say how wonderful this place is. From the moment we booked till a lovely visit when we arrived the host Terry has been fantastic. We arrived to a complimentary port and the most beautiful clean house. The area is unbelievably pretty, the view out across the ocean uncomparible. My only regret is not booking for longer.

Ideal for business and sightseeing alone. Breakfast was ok. The price was reasonable and the cost performance was perfect.

Beachway is not in any way luxurious, but it is a good country town motel with very reasonable room rates. Ulverstone is not a big town, so pretty much everything is close. The town centre is within easy reach of Beachway. The parking is easy and safe. Reception is efficient. The room are clean and comfortable. The wall heater did not work in my room but, upon reporting this, the helpful receptionist immediately fetched a portable heater, which worked fine. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A basic continental breakfast is included in the room cost. I stayed two nights, and had dinner in the restaurant once. The menu offers many choices, which made me a bit suspicious that perhaps some things are pre-made and frozen, but my meal was clearly freshly made with fresh ingredient. It was delicious. But the star attraction of this motel is the staff. Mind you, there aren't that many of them! The Receptionist - a young man - appears to work there 24/7! He serves breakfast and dinner, and overseas checks-in-and-out in between. The cook is also busy. Both are friendly and helpful. There are nice gardens and a pool.
