This is a 1950's beach house which has been completely renovated, while maintaining it's lovely character. It is situated next to a penguin rookery, across the road from Picnic Point Beach in Ulverstone. The home sits on a large block, and is surrounded by trees, which affords maximum privacy from the houses to either side. The homely touches were much appreciated, the beds were comfortable, and we enjoyed the quiet location. The only sounds to be heard, were the sea-birds and penguins (at night). The swimming beach is beyond the trees, and directly across the road. We stayed in March and saw penguins every night. My husband is a complete train buff, so he really enjoyed the train passing by the kitchen window several times a day. He even got a wave from the friendly drivers. We highly recommend this house, for a quiet comfortable stay. Ulverstone has a good variety of shopping, and plenty to do in the area. (we climbed nearby Goat Rock - great fun)
