Hanlon Guest House

Lovely area close to the beach and walking distance to the main street. Room and other areas were clean and beautifully presented. Katinka, our host, was friendly and explained the current history of the place (as we had stayed there on previous occassions). It was nice to see the extra effort with the Easterdecoration and chocolate eggs throughout.

Gorgeous historical guesthouse. Quiet. Easy parking. Very close to the nut walking track, penguins, beach and couple of minutes walk into central township.

I had a lovely separate guest house at the back of the property that did not have a direct view but the beach and penguin viewing platform is literally around the corner so a view from my room was irrelevant. The room was clean, cozy and very, very comfortable. The owners were very welcoming. Also the walk to the top of the Nut starts a couple of blocks from the property. There are limited dining options nearby and sometimes things are closed but what is there is good so it is important to plan ahead and it is possible to cook or warm things up so planning = being very happy! December was the beginning of peak penguin breeding season so there were a LOT of penguins not only at the viewing platforms but also after one thought that the penguins must be settled in their nests but, no, they were still checking things out in the streets and around bushes and in driveways. It tooks a few hours for them to get settled and the babies to get fed for everything to settle down! They are quite loud! It is quite amazing! A special place....
