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 :)

Fabulous property with panoramic views of Backstairs Passage across Hog Bay to Cape Jervis. Within easy walking distance to supermarket, hotel and ferry terminal. This home has all the amenities we have in our own home. Eddie is very responsive to any questions. We had another great day at the Kangaroo Island races. Thanks Eddie and Rhonda.

Beautiful spot in Penneshaw
This place was so perfect for our holiday on Kangaroo Island. Easy check-in process once getting off the boat. The ocean views are very relaxing to wake up to and finish the day off after a day out seeing the beautiful spots on the island. Being so close to the beach and able to easily walk to is a big bonus. Communication is very responsive and accomodating. Highly recommend this place and we will be back for sure. Thank you to the hosts Eddie and Rhonda.

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.

Wow, what a pick! Great views, perfect home, super impressive hosts. We were kept so informed leading up to our visit. The home has everything (absolutely everything) you need.

Everything you could ever need
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Millpond, a beautiful house in a wonderful place with amazing views. The kitchen was decked out with everything you could ever want and lighting the fire on a cold winter’s day and snuggling up on the couch to watch DVDs (a very big collection!) was a real treat. Would definitely stay here again
