Beautiful house with large decks and windows and great views. The photos really don’t do it justice at all. The fireplace was lit for us on arrival, and kept the living area nice and warm. The split systems in the bedrooms were great for a little burst of heat when needed too. The kitchen is very well stocked with hot drinks, condiments and dishes. There were even plastic dishes for our toddler. The toys were enjoyed by our 3 year old, as was the dvd selection. I liked the romance novel selection and cookbooks. The smart tv was great. The house even had a baby bath tub and potty! Our two old dogs were thankfully welcome and enjoyed sitting out on the balcony watching the ocean. We saw wallabies, kangaroos and dolphins from the balcony and many windows. Our daughter liked watching the ferry go back and forth. I hope we get to come back! Great spot.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dolphin Encounter - We saw large pods of dolphins every morning from the deck. The space was perfect for our family and Mish provided the best communications experience that I have had in renting VRBO's..Thank you so much.

What a blissful place to stay! This place has killer views. You can watch the dolphins play right from the living room or deck. Very well furnished, clean, roomy property. Well stocked kitchen, linens and good quality toiletries. Mish is a great host and gave us local tips and kept us updated. Thank you Mish!

Our stay was amazing. Mish was great host, actual property is more beautiful than in the pictures. After driving around we realized, that the most beautiful beach is just 3 min walk. There were dolphins and kangaroos all day long. Place is equipped with absolutely everything you can possibly need. Highly recommend!!!

We chose this property for its amazing view, and it more than delivered! Every evening was spent on the beautiful deck watching the local dolphin pod, the stunning sunsets, and enjoying the time in the evening when kangaroos and wallabies emerge from the trees and cover the yard! We fell in love with Penneshaw and believe this house is the perfect home base when visiting KI!

Lovely, comfortable and peaceful place to stay in perfect location. Views across the bay were a highlight especially with the full moon and calm waters at night. Lots of wildlife, which is a huge plus for my family and it’s an easy walk into the quaint town of Penneshaw. Allowing dogs is another major attraction. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the place to family and friends.

This property has a view that is holiday material! Several times during the day we observed pods of dolphins. The property is a short walk to the beach and town centre.
