Madsen Retreat

Madsen Retreat is a guest accommodation property in Penguin, Tasmania, with a seaside setting and views across Bass Strait. The retreat occupies landscaped lawns and gardens at 6A King Edward Street, placing guests close to the village’s beaches, shops, cafes and everyday services. Penguin also provides a practical base for exploring Tasmania’s north-west coast.

The accommodation includes several room styles suited to different stays. The Penthouse Suite and Deluxe Seaview Suite are ocean-facing rooms with ensuite bathrooms and considered interiors. The Superior Spa Suite has a queen bed, a couch and a spa bathroom, with access by a staircase fitted with banister rails. The Deluxe Double Queen Spa Suite consists of two adjoining queen-bed rooms, a small lounge area, ocean outlooks and a bathroom with a spa bath and separate shower.

For larger bookings, the whole-floor group suite combines four rooms with upstairs shared space and facilities. The booking also includes access to downstairs lounge areas, a sunroom, outdoor lawns, a deck and barbecue facilities. This arrangement suits families, friends or small groups seeking shared space while retaining separate bedrooms.

Food service has a simple, relaxed accommodation style. A continental breakfast is available in the morning, with a brunch option for late check-outs. Cheese and fruit platters are offered in the late afternoon or early evening. The property also provides a sunroom and patio, giving guests additional areas to sit beyond their rooms.

Madsen Retreat welcomes dogs and provides free Wi-Fi, comfortable rooms, television, bicycles, business facilities and secure premises. The atmosphere is residential and unhurried, with garden areas and coastal outlooks contributing to a restful stay. Penguin’s location makes the retreat suitable for visitors travelling through the Central Coast, while nearby Ulverstone and Burnie provide larger-town services within a scenic coastal drive. Cradle Mountain is also within driving range for a longer regional outing.
