Penghana B&B offers a rare opportunity to stay in this historic west coast Arts & Crafts Movement mansion and be immersed in its history.
Penghana, built in 1898, is an excellent example of American-influenced Arts & Crafts Movement architecture by Launceston architects, Alfred and Sidney Luttrell.
It was built as the home of the General Manager of the Mt Lyell Mining Company, the brilliant American metallurgist, Robert Carl Sticht (1856-1922)
Sticht was known for his concern for the social and industrial welfare of My Lyell’s workers and their families, and had a deep interest in science, literature and the arts.
Sticht’s large and valuable collection of paintings and rare books was housed at Penghana. Part of his manuscript collection survives at the University of Melbourne.
Today Penghana operates as Penghana B&B.
It is an ideal base for discerning independent travellers who want to engage with the history, environment and culture of Tasmania’s West Coast and enjoy a relaxing and memorable holiday, business trip or small group event.
