Perfection in Penneshaw

Millpond is a perfectly appointed holiday home. It was an absolute delight to stay here and it will be the first place I look on my next trip to KI. All the little details are there - platters, spices, tools for seafood, puzzles/books for rainy days. The front verandah was a lovely place to relax, watch the dolphins, birds and see the wallabies :)

The most perfect house with beautiful views

We couldn’t have asked for a better house than Millpond! It had everything we could possible want and Eddie and Rhonda were so helpful! The views to the white sandy beach were stunning and KI was the most heavenly place. Definitely will come back!

Holiday of memories with girlfriends

Loved this holiday experience with longtime girlfriends. The house was excellent. Loved the 2 full bathrooms as we had a girlfriend with a moon boot on and legally blind so was very easy for her to find her way around with easy access.

Best holiday home we’ve stayed at with amazing views over the bay! :) 5star!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Millpond. The location is perfect and the view is breathtaking. It was so much better than I was anticipating. The house was presented beautifully, immaculately clean and had absolutely everything you could need whilst on holiday. Would highly recommend this house for a very relaxing stay on KI. We will be back again :).

Well equipped holiday home in a picturesque settin

Millpond is wonderfully situated - on a quiet road, with a front terrace overlooking Hog's Bay, and a short stroll to the shops of Penneshaw. The house has a large kitchen/living/dining space and 3 good sized bedrooms and is very well presented, and equipped with everything you would need to live, let alone holiday. The owners are helpful and very communicative. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here exploring the sights of Kangaroo Island.

Great holiday house has everything you need

We stayed at Millpond for 3 nights. Great location, clean and tidy as advertised. Got everything we needed! Wake up with the beautiful ocean view, play at the beach with the children is so easy. Manager Eddie and Rhonda always greet and reply message in time. Great experience. Highly recommend!

4 nights in Penneshaw

Clean & spacious, with a modern feel, ample accommodation for 4 adults & 4 children if required. Nice bathrooms although the very hot water in the showers could prove a hazard to young children or the elderly. Well appointed kitchen with plenty of equipment to cook almost anything. Only a few hundreds metres from the town centre and great ocean views.
