Built in 1902 by prominent Launceston businessman George Colville McKinlay, Penghana (the Turret House) remains a landmark of Tasmanian heritage and enduring craftsmanship. Its distinctive turret, originally designed to view ships entering the old seaport, now frames sweeping outlooks across the Seaport and city skyline. Inside, five ensuite bedrooms blend period grace with modern comfort-high ceilings, ornate cornices, leadlight windows, original Baltic Cedar and Huon Pine doors.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area feature quality appliances and a walk-in pantry, while the main suite adds a walk-in robe and heated-floor ensuite. Constructed with impressive solidity and fitted with specialised heritage-grade acoustic glazing, the home maintains a calm, quiet interior.
With prior approval and proven success as a Heritage Bed & Breakfast, Penghana offers versatility to live and host guests or operate as a dedicated boutique accommodation business, just minutes from the Gorge, Seaport and CBD.
