Peace, serenity & sea views - dolphins, wallabies & coastal walks

Imagine an island, not far from the mainland, with pristine beaches, sweeping farmland and trees as old as time. Now imagine a house, all windows and views, nestled on a hillside. Now picture a deck, and a chair. Intrigued? This is Ashendens at Penneshaw.
Lazy mornings on the deck. Swimming in the summer sun. Watching storms roll over the ocean. Sharing local food and wine with family and friends. Family holidays that start a tradition; 'Remember when...' Falling asleep to the sound of the sea.
Ashenden's at Penneshaw is the ideal beach-front getaway for your next family holiday or time away with friends. Set on the eastern side of Penneshaw township, Kangaroo Island, on a rocky shore, it is a short walk to a family-friendly beach.
Local attractions such as wineries, farmers markets and wildlife parks are close by for those wishing to explore, or the expansive deck offers the perfect location for eating, reading, entertaining and relaxing.
The ocean views are completely unrestricted - you can spot the ferry and watch for the pod of dolphins that frequently patrol the cove. You might even spot a friendly seal! By night, creep quietly and watch closely for the penguins that make their home on the shore.

Peaceful wilderness get away
The property is beautiful and light filled with a view which is unmatched! Regular wildlife encounters including kangaroos, dolphins and wallabies from the deck. Well stocked and well maintained facilities made for a fantastic week away

Peace & wildlife with views
Fantastic location with great views. We saw dolphins from balcony, plus wallabies and kangaroos out the back. Ideal for 2 couples. We had friends from UK visiting for my husband's 70th birthday and the house offered a great base for us to show them around KI. Also close to the ferry for the early morning start back to the mainland!

Great spot to stay when visiting Peneshaw
We stayed at Ashendens for last 3 nights of our KI holiday. Great spot to visit the Peneshaw end of the island! Fortunately Ashendens had lots of windows as last two days were too wet to utilise the deck! From those windows we saw the dolphins playing and the Sealink activity. Out the back of property we saw a lot of wallabies. Thankyou to Helen for sharing you holiday home with KI visitors.

Spot the dolphins
Where dolphins come to rest, must be the perfect spot for a beach house. We loved the house- need to come back with a bigger group of friends to make the most of it!
