About this property
Talinga on the Bay, Penneshaw
This 3-bedroom house sleeps up to 6 people with 2 queen and 2 single beds. The renovations include a new wood fired heater to embrace the winter months, whilst still enjoying the wonderful views of Penneshaw beach. Free WiFi, With two showers and two toilets everyone is happy. The billiard table has always offered a great opportunity for bonding or socializing with family or friends. Talinga On The Bay features floor to ceiling glass doors with spectacular views overlooking the beach, the Sealink passenger and vehicle ferry and mainland. Air-con, private courtyard, poolroom, and gas BBQ. Kangaroo Island is fresh air, pristine beaches, dramatic scenery and thriving native wildlife. Small tours, cycling, horse riding, diving, farming, walking and fishing all adhere to the rules of eco-friendly treatment. Walk close to wildlife. Delight in the abundance of wildflowers. At Seal Bay an experienced interpretive guide gives you an insight into the lives of Australian Sea lions. Flinders Chase Nat. Park is home to the Remarkable Rocks, Admirals Arch and the Rocky River information center - go back in time looking for fossils. Fur seals, koalas, platypus, glossy black cockatoos, cape barren geese and of course kangaroos will welcome you to the park and keep you entertained along the many walking trails - many leading to secluded, isolated beaches. Imagine waking to the gentle lap of the waves spilling onto the clean sandy beach, a refreshing walk collecting shells - possibly a nautilus, watching entranced as a pod of dolphins leap and frolic out of the water chasing after a school of salmon. A short walk takes you up to shops, fine cafes and restaurants or along to Baudin Conservation Park to spot some of our endangered wildlife. The experience is here for you to enjoy!!!

Thanks Terri. You are more than welcome anytime. I found one of the tennis balls i think!
Loved our 2 nights at Talinga!Perfect location - easy walk from the ferry and a short walk to the supermarket & shops in Penneshaw. Really comfortable space for 2 friends, with plenty of spare room. The hosts have done a great job with renovations & the house felt really lovely!Both of us are already planning our next stay, thank you!
Great views, close to beach and a lovely stroll into town. Very comfy beds. All in all a lovely stay with our daughter and her partner (from Mexico) who specifically requested a trip to Kangaroo Island in the 7 days they were here.Highlights were Flinders Chase NP, Seal Bay and Clifford’s Honey Farm.Thanks so much Ros for allowing us to stay in your gorgeous cottage, Best regards Harry and Dee

About the host
Hosted by Roslyn Willson
Our family has been farming at Penneshaw since 1870. The Hog Bay beach has been our local retreat to fish, swim, socialise and genuinely relax in a beautiful environment. We are privileged to be able to share this wonderful experience to others with our beach house.
Why they chose this property
Talinga Tce is a safe, quiet cul de sac without flow through traffic. It provides easy access to the beach (150m) with cafes, IGA, shops, oval, tennis courts, play ground and skate park at the end of the street (200-300m). How convenient is that! The sculpture trail (with Tamar wallabies) is only 50m away and longer walking trails with more wildlife can be found in Baudin conservation park, 2km. There are pedestrian walkways around the town and onto our very special golf course with magnificent flowering gums trees. Grab your clubs and have a hit.
What makes this property unique
Recently renovated with new kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and flooring in the bedrooms. Plenty of space to find your own relaxation hideaway. Family friendly games or billiard competition. Awesome views and the best value for money in Penneshaw.
