Great Host & a Wonderful Property
Host, Brendan went out of his way to make our stay most enjoyable. There were a couple of Hick Ups ( Not of Brendan's doing) Ferry cancellations. He really stepped up to ensure things went smoothly for us.
The property is true to label as presented on the website.
Would happily stay here again.

2 families
We had 2 families staying. Really enjoyed being on the marina. Caught fish for tea and children spent hours looking for crabs under the rocks.

We moored our boat at Christmas Cove which is a 2 minute walk from the house.

Fantastic KI stay
This property was fantastic for our group holiday! Very rare to find a place with 3 queen beds for a trip with 6 adults. So clean, well equip and great location. Only wish it was better weather to sit on the balcony and enjoy the amazing views.

Amazing location and comfortable house
Brendan has been great with communicating with us throughout the booking process until checkout. The house is immaculate, spacious and perfect for our extended family who were visiting. The location is a stone’s throw from Penneshaw with great cafes nearby and IGA which served us very well. We would definitely come back again and stay here! Highly recommended!

Great spot in the heart of Penneshaw. Neat, clean and tidy. Great views of the sea.
Great spot. Huge home for a few couples or families. Right opposite the Christmas Cove. Cute little beach great for collecting shells. Close to the sea safari. Everything you need in the house to make your stay easy and enjoyable. Brendan was very quick to respond to any questions. Close to the pub and The Shy Wren. Definitely recommend staying here.

What a view
We had our honeymoon in KI. That was 41 years ago. We thought it time to go back. We loved our 10 day stay in Penneshaw. Our place was great with the views & ocean breeze. It is within walking distance to everything. Millie Mae,s pantry is a must to go to but we also enjoyed meals from the hotel, KI fire & smoke & Sorrentos. Enjoyed the many walks also around Penneshaw. If you stay here you won't regret it. Brendan was a wonderful host & any questions I had he got back to me promptly. Chris, Bruce & Sean. Adelaide
