Penneshaw Retreat

This is a terrific house and was perfectly appointed by the hosts. The little touches made us feel quite secure, and the position of the home allowed us to arrive late and leave early. Instructions came through a couple of days after we had booked, but they were clear and comprehensive when they did.

Amazing Property with Spectacular Views

If you are looking for accommodation that has the most spectacular views, is extremely well appointed, exceptionally clean and comfortable then "Bower by the Sea" is the place for you. Our family felt very lucky to have had 11 nights at this amazing property. Everything you could need and want was supplied. Watching dolphin play from the front deck was a highlight on most days....incredible views. Thank you so much Darian and Peggy for sharing your little piece of paradise with us.
