The Madsen is a great choice for a stay in Penguin. Location is great, the room was immaculate and the breakfast was delicious. The extras like freshly ground coffee available 24/7 was a nice touch. Thank you for the chance to stay in the 'vault'.

This motel is small but very comfortable right in the middle of the beautiful little seaside town of Penguin. In the right season you can see the penguins coming in to the beach. The staff were very pleasant and obliging. We had breakfast included in the price of our stay and it was excellent. There are plenty of cafes and... More

I’m not usually one to write negative comments about accommodation but sometimes the experience should be revealed! As there were so many good comments on Tripadvisor about the Madsen, I was really disappointed. When I first booked the executive spa suite through Wotif, I included the request ‘non-smoking, quiet spot, a bit of a view would be greatly appreciated’. I... More

Stayed here for the first time recently - up the coast for work. I had one of the side rooms and found the room more than adequate. Lovely bathroom, with the bonus of a bath. Bed comfy, lovely sheets and an electric blanket! Quiet house too, considering the fact that it was full. Fabulous. I think the only let down... More

The Madsen has been tastefully renovated and has a very welcoming feel. The entrance and breakfast area is a nice spot to sit and enjoy the view. I stayed for business in a side room which was nice, but did not quite have the polish of the other rooms. The breakfast was great and staff went out of their way... More

The staff at... More

We stayed at the Madsen on our last night in Tasmania before boarding the 9am ferry to Melbourne. We stayed in the Waterfront Room (room1)....Excellent accomodation, clean, good quality fitting and linen. Breakfast included was very good with fresh farmed eggs, bacon, tomotoes, on sourdough. We ate breakfast at 7am, left about 7.30 and drove 30min to Devonport and straight... More

The bed is very comfortable also. The cooked breakfast is included in the price and is of excellent quality. Amanda is great, she allowed us to park our... More
