This was our second stay at dolphins lookout and won’t be our last. The house and views are beautiful. Our kids love watching the ferry come and go and having wallabies and kangaroos outside the front door every night. We love being a short walk from Penneshaw bay and having the convenience of the IGA, pub and cute cafes while still being in a small town. A magical place we are always sad to leave.

We loved our stay at Dolphins Lookout. The house was very comfortable and well equipped. We saw Dolphins from the deck on our first night. Our host Prue was very accommodating when our plans changed and sent us great sightseeing tips. She was very easy to communicate with. Overall we would happily stay there again

Dolphin Lookout certainly lived up to our expectations. Not only is it a perfect location, it had everything we needed for a beautiful 6 day holiday. Penneshaw was the perfect location to stay for fabulous food at the hotel, The Shy Wren and Millie Mae. Thanks Prue for providing a great holiday venue. And the Dolphins made an appearance on a few occasions. Perfect. Thanks Kangaroo Island for having us. Love it. 💗💗💗

Fabulous View
Our stay in Dolphin Lookout was perfect. The view from the deck was amazing. Watching the Ferry come and go day and night just added to the experience. Very clean, an easy walk to the main part of town and the beach. The house had everything we needed and was a great base to go exploring the Island from.

Great view!
Lovely kitchen and deck area with view of the ferry coming and going - and yes you can spot dolphins swimming past! (ocean safari can take you closer!)
Penneshaw has some great cafes and restaurants that were very busy but still top notch. The weather was surprisingly wet during our stay so we spent a lot of time driving all over the island to see the amazing coastline and visit the brilliant wineries / shops / farms eg honey farm, eucalyptus distillery, kangaroo island spirits, kangaroo island brewery, lavender farm

Family Holiday
We enjoyed a wonderful holiday at Dolphins Lookout with our family and friends. The home is clean, comfortable and very well equipped. The views from the large deck are superb and it is a great place to relax. All our evening meals were taken here. The house is located within easy walking distance to the beach. Prue, the owner was excellent with all communication. Given the opportunity we would certainly stay here again.

Fabulous
We loved everything about this accommodation! Very clean, well equipped and excellent location. Prue was excellent communicating with us promptly. The only thing i like to point out is the fly screen which needs repair. We would definitely stay there again next time we travel to KI.

Lovely, Relaxing
A clean, well-lit place with beautiful views.
It was our base for 5 days exploring the island but in fact the loveliest day was when we decided not to drive elsewhere, simply enjoyed the view, watched the ferry come and go and played on the beach down the road.
And yes, there were dolphins!
