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 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. 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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33570000/33569700/33569672/b3d2491d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean Blue KI.

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!).
