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.
We had a wonderful stay. The house is exactly as depicted. Loved hearing the sea as we went to sleep. Amazing views and a joy to be surrounded by nature.
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.
Gorgeous house, with everything supplied to make our stay very comfortable, in a gorgeous location, wonderful views, dolphins and wallabies galore.
Great spot to tour KI from, or just relax and enjoy.
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 canât recommend it enough!!
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
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!
Throughly enjoyed returning each day to relax on the decking and watch for the dolphins. Main bedroom had a perfect vista and very roomy ensuite. Main bathroom included laundry in shower area. Kitchen well equipped. We all recommend this lovely sanctuary.
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.
It was indeed an awesome place to stay in. Has all the amenities and stuff which makes the stay feel at home. Was really impressed the way the owner guided and responded quickly over any concerns raised.
Thank you for making our vacation such a memorable one âșïž
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!
Upon arrival the house was very tidy and everything well organised. The accommodation was the best we had in many years. Spectacular views and spacious. We will definitely strongly recommend this place to friends.
