Imagine an island, not too 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. Picture the deck of this house and a deckchair in the sun. Intrigued?
This is Ashenden’s 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.
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
