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 thesea.
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.

    Absolutely beautiful property perfectly positioned in Penneshaw. We spent 3 lovely days and wished that it could have been more. The house has everything that you might need and is very comfortable after a day exploring the island. I can’t recommend it enough!!

    Excellent open plan kitchen and lounge room with beautiful views of the ocean. Amazing deck overlooking the turquoise sea and mainland to look out for dolphins. Facilities in house make it a very comfortable place to stay. Communication with host always prompt.

    Loved how the house opened up to the deck! And loved the view from the deck of the ocean, the dolphins and the kangaroos. The house was comfortable and clean and had everything we needed. Penneshaw beach was my favourite beach, there was a well stocked grocery store in town and we loved the vibe at the pub.

    We loved the location of Ashendens on the hilltop overlooking the beautiful turquoise waters of Penneshaw. The dolphins were regular visitors and we enjoyed watching them from the deck. My son swam peacefully with them on several occasions. The house has great facilities and the open plan kitchen, dining and lounge room is open and spacious, taking advantage of the amazing views of the ocean and mainland. The large deck was also a favourite place to enjoy the scenery and wildlife (many wallabies!). Helen, the host was very good at communicating promptly and providing information about the house.
