The location, view and facilities absolutely exceeded my expectations! The view from the couch was amazing, we saw dolphins multiple times per day, saw a couple of seals and wallabies! Kitchen was super well equipped, rooms were comfy and place was so spacious!

What wasn’t to like, absolutely stunning

Stayed in May 2025

Nothing.

The house overlooks the ocean and the property is large and beautifully furnished. We loved our stay.

All overhead fans were very dusty. Mop and water marks across the floor in the lounge and dining area giving it the appearance of being dirty. Dining table and coffee table also very worn and marked, again giving the impression both were dirty. Coffee supplied was very stale, discoloured and hard. No sugar or substitute supplied. Though host informed of this on our arrival, none provided.

Felt secluded, though really easy access. Great views, spacious, and very comfortable. A lovely place.

No screens to opening doors on deck area, flies.....

Great location, quiet no through road, overlooking Bay. Dolphin visits daily. Close to all KI has to offer.

The location was amazing, we could easily walk into Penneshaw. So much wildlife around the house, we even saw dolphins from our window. The house is next to a wallaby trail, so we saw lots of wallabies and kangaroos. Some beautiful walks around the area. I can't wait to come back.

Fabulous location overlooking the bay, dolphins and kangeroos to watch, what more could you want.

Only thing we were worried about was the balcony stairs with very young children…a gate across there would have been ideal

Nothing at all!

Well maintained, & well equipped home, with everything we needed. Ideal location with an unrestricted view of the ocean. With the wonderful outdoor setting on the front deck, we could sit back and relax while watching ferries, two cruise ships and regular morning dolphins frolicking!

The location was wonderful - we watched dolphins most days. The house had everything. A great place to relax.

It was good so no complaints

It was very private and quiet - lovely place

Stayed in August 2023

The second bedroom too small and the bed not so comfy and was a bit noisy when one person moved. No door on ensuite. Would prefer a TV in the kitchen lounge area. Would like some paytv to watch the footy.

Views and location were the best. The house was warm and the kitchen facilities great. Main bed was super comfy.

The only drawback was the steep driveway but our car managed it fine

The most amazing and private location and only a short walk into Penneshaw. it was comfortable and had everything we needed.

Nothing we didn't like

The location is excellent both for staying local and enjoying walks and wildlife and as a base for exploring the island on day drives. Magnificent views over the ocean . Everything provided there was of high quality, clean and allowed for meals and picnics to be prepared in the kitchen or BBQ. Very comfortable warm bedding.

For our tastes there was nothing we didn't like except maybe the dead kangaroo under the tree. :)

This place is fantastic. The views of the strait between Kangaroo Island and the Main land of Australia is wonderful from the settee in the main room. To sit on the verandah and have a quiet drink ( of any kind) in the evening or breakfast with dolphins frolicking in the gulf is just awesome. The beds are very comfortable, the main bedroom has a huge ensuite with a lovely shower. The family living room space is big enough to have a party in. (not that we had one :)). The cupboards are stocked with so many things that are available to use such as cutlery, crockery and even coffee, sugar, condiments etc. We have stayed here twice now, the second time to give our cousin from the Netherlands a look at Kangaroo Island and its wonderful attractions. Wineries, the Raptors, Flinders Chase, Kingscote, honey and eucalyptus farms are just a few. Penneshaw also has a great Hotel for meals and the people are very friendly. I would recommend Ashenden's to anyone who is looking to stay on Kangaroo Island. Thank you again Helen and family for allowing us to stay in your beautiful holiday house. We will definitely come again.
