Guest Reviews
- peiqi (6/5): -
- Abhishek (9/5): Spacious comfortable accommodation in beautiful Penneshaw. - Great location in Penneshaw - fantastic view of the expanse of the ocean from the balcony, very close to the ferry terminal, marina and pristine Hogs Beach.
The house is well-appointed with very comfortable.beds, plenty of space and a well-equipped kitchen. A cot, high chair, plenty of toys and even wet wipes were provided for our toddler. There are several minor maintenance issues in the house.
While Penneshaw is beautiful and convenient area and the starting point of marine adventures, be mindful that most land-based adventure activities are in Kingscote, more than 100 km away.
- C (10/5): -
- Karen (9/5): Almost perfect - The property was just as described and was comfortable and clean. The view was fabulous. I don't have a problem with cleaning up after myself and I actually like to leave a property tidy. However, the bbq had to be cleaned before we could use it which was annoying especially as the information said that we'd get charged if it wasn't left clean.
- VICKI (9/5): Really enjoyable - Great location and great views Noise carries through the units
- Clare (10/5): Wonderful base for a KI adventure. - It was comfortable, clean and in a great location. Close to cafes and shops and the ferry if you have an early departure. Staff were lovely and we had everything we needed.
- Leanne (10/5): Wonderful -
- Clau (10/5): Excellent location with great ocean views and all the comfort of a home away from home. - Excellent location and great ocean views. The townhouse was fully equipped for a family to cook their meals and enjoy a peaceful holidays. Car park was outside in a funny angle, but it was fine.
- Craig (5/5): -
- Thakshila (10/5): - Very convenient location. Very Close to the ferry terminal, local grocery and restaurants. Stunning views from the balcony. Very spacious house.
- Yu Qing (8/5): - This two-story apartment is very close to the ferry terminal, and you can have a barbeque on the balcony. The scenery is also very beautiful. I hope the hygiene work can be done better, especially the cleaning of the bathroom and bath towels and face towels.
- Alison (10/5): Excellent place to stay, will definitely be back! - Everything, views from property were amazing Nothing
- Philip (4/5): - Nice house, probably wasn’t what we needed as only 2 of us with up and down stairs The bed sheets were not clean. We went and bought our own clean sheets to use.
The cleaner was still there 10 mins after check in time.
- Roberto (9/5): - Ottima posizione, fronte oceano.
- Mahmud (10/5): Amazing stay with superb view - Amazing stay with a superb ocean view!
The host provided everything we could possibly need — handwash, soap, shampoo, wipes, cleaning spray, tea, coffee, and more.
A morning walk to the penguin viewing platform or the ferry terminal was simply wonderful.
- Dan (10/5): - Close to ferry landing and the view was excellent.
- SHALINI (9/5): Wonderful holiday in a very clean, cozy and comfortable apartment with ocean views. - Great location, very close to Ferry Terminal and shops.
Clean and comfortable with all amenities.
- Mike (9/5): Very well appointed facility with everthyging we needed for a great family stay. Hosts were great -
- Ceciley (10/5): - We had a lovely stay whilst waiting for our ferry back to the mainland. It is huge and had a great view of the wild seas. A short walk away from the local pub, cafes and supermarkets. The owners were very accomodating of our booking (made just a few hours before check in), and they made sure everything was set up and ready for us. Will definitely stay there again when I back on KI.
- Luther (9/5): Excellent and comfortable. Including facilities for a toddler. - Modern and clean with an equipped kitchen. Nothing to dislike.
- Tony (9/5): Superb -
- Rajneesh (9/5): Superb -
- Maurice (10/5): Perfect stay on Kangaroo Island - Well positioned. Absolutely best position possible. When needed to contact owner - immediate response. House had everything that was needed. Comfortable beds. Heating worked well. Plenty of towels. Could go on and on. Just perfect. Even when the ferry was cancelled back to the mainland - very understanding and gave a discounted rate for the additional time here. Nothing
- Helen (8/5): Very relaxing, which is what I needed. I've been recently had some health issues, but felt happy, s - The property was huge and very spacious.
Plenty of bedrooms for a whole family.
The views were gorgeous and it was wonderful to wake up to the ocean waves and seeing dolphins every morning.
The proximity to sealing was fabulous and nothing seemed too far away.
My partner and I only used the upstairs area, and were barely there because there was so much to see and do but we loved our stay and would definitely go back again. The upstairs sliding door - right hand side - felt like it wasn't on the rails properly which made it hard to open let alone close, so we left it closed.
The kettle needs replacing as there seems to be a lot of rust inside.
I found one bowl that hadn't been washed properly.
Took photo just in case.
Sink tap in ensuite seems to be leaking slowly.
I guess these are more maintenance issues.
- Kate (10/5): Outstanding accomodation with a great host! - The view was outstanding, the facilities were excellent. The quality of sheets and towels. Attention to detail: quality toilet paper, shampoo and conditioner provided etc. Close to pub, cafes and IGA. They even had a fishing rod to use.
The BBQ was excellent but was not a 8 person size it was a Weber Q, it was not a problem and cooked perfectly.
The host was responsive and accomodating! Nothing!!

- Lakshika (10/5): A perfect seaside getaway with stunning views, incredible wildlife, and unbeatable convenience. - This property is in a fantastic location, right on the seafront and just 3–4 minutes’ drive from the ferry terminal. The convenience of being within walking distance to the visitor information center and local shops made our stay incredibly easy and enjoyable. From the front balcony, we could see dolphins and whales, which was an unforgettable experience. The sunsets were absolutely amazing, and the views overall were stunning. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area! If we could access the garage. It would be good . But it’s not an issue . Just a suggestion .
- Giovanni (10/5): - War eifach super. Grosse Wohnung mit sehr schönem Blick aufs Meer.
- Sarah (10/5): Beautiful place to stay with family - I booked two apartments for me and my family for 3 nights. The properties are only 3 minutes away from the ferry. The house is spacious and clean. IGA and cafes are within walking distance. Ellie was responsive to my requests and questions. The view from the property is just wonderful! Recommend. Thank you! ☺️
- Laura (8/5): Very good - Views, location and updated Need to know before that you need a vehicle to get around. Kangaroo island is much bigger then you think
- Michelle (7/5): Good - Need improvement on cleaning such as dirty kettle with all rusting inside, unable to use at all for hygiene purpose.Small insects found every corner inside the house. No rubbish bag on the lower level. Bathroom upstairs inside main bedroom and caused inconvenience for both people living inside the room or living outside the room

- Bernard (9/5): Highly recommended - Great location with great views
- Florent (8/5): A good house for your stay but prepare your arrival well - Big house
Well located close to the ferry and to Penneshaw where you will find everything you need
Good choice to spend a few nights on the island Access was not great. We didn’t receive the code and the mobile phone was not working well
Entry has to be made from the backdoor. When you arrive at night this is not very intuitive and it took us 1h and we had to borrow a phone in a pub to solve the problem
Requirements when you leave are tight (actually you almost have to do the cleaning yourself) which was a bit surprising
- Anonymous (9/5): Superb - Hi Ellie, I just wanted to let you know that I couldn’t get the dryer to work. We didn’t use the washing machine, my jeans got wet on the ocean Safari tour on our last day. Thanks so much for the late checkout.
- Il (10/5): Exceptional -

- Roger (9/5): Superb - Brilliant location. A large and well equipped property. Comfortable. Large beds. Good shower. Laundry area a bonus. All great. Nothing
- Lorna (10/5): We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend the Penneshaw Apartments for large groups. - Beautiful apartment with a large living/dining area and 4 spacious bedrooms for 7 adults. Beautiful view of Christmas Cove from the living areas. Kitchen and Laundry was well equipped. Lovely and clean on arrival with plenty of towels. Our host Ellie was super helpful. Its on the main road to the ferry so can be a bit noisy early in the morning.
- Heather (8/5): Very relaxing and comfortable stay. - Great location. Lovely views. Very relaxing to sit on the balcony. Excellent for 3 couples. Comfortable beds.
- Jinshen (8/5): Overall it’s not bad. - modern and spacious Sound proofing is not very good. Next door neighbours were playing loud music on the balcony which is right next to my bedroom. Fortunately they were nice and reasonable people and stopped after I talked to them. When they talked inside their house using reasonable volume, I can still hear fairly clearly. It’s more about the quality of the building. Maybe going forward the owners of both properties can make house rules clear about sound.
- Neville (8/5): Very good -
- Amimo (10/5): Amazing family holiday at Penneshaw ocean view apartments - The views of the ocean from the apartment were breathtaking and the apartment was well furnished and clean. Attach a video with the entry code instructions.
We were not aware that the door lock was touch screen.
- Alison (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yan (8/5): Very good -
- Michael (9/5): Superb -
- Anonymous (10/5): excellent - Every thing is perfect. Perfect location, beautiful sea view👍🏻 The wifi works not good at the ground floor
- Vienna (8/5): brilliant! the host was so nice! - the view!:) the bath was located in one room so we had to go into someone’s else’s room. but other than that it was great!
- Tapanee (10/5): - The house very great. Perfect location. Nice host.
- Jane (9/5): Everything about Kangaroo Island exceeded my expectations and the apartment was so ideally located - The property totally exceeded expectations. It was ideally located an easy ten minute walk to the centre of Penneshaw, directly opposite the Visitor Centre. The views were spectacular and the balcony was perfect for afternoon sundowners. There was parking at the rear of the property which was convenient. Despite being on a main road it was very quiet. There was only three mismatched wine glasses, plenty of champagne flutes but only three wine glasses which was fine for us as we were only three people but we were supposed to be four and the property can easily accommodate 8 people. First world problem.
