Talinga on the Bay, Penneshaw

This 3-bedroom house sleeps up to 6 people with 2 queen and 2 single beds.
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. The house has been renovated over winter 2023 so now boasts a new kitchen, two new bathrooms and new walls and flooring in the bedrooms -so fresh and clean.
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!!!

Top spot
Clean, comfortable, well equipped property within walking distance of the IGA, the pub and the beach. The standout is the view over Backstairs Passage to the mainland. Just need some hanging space in the front room and a champagne stopper 😁

Work stay
Beautiful location and very clean property….although it was a work trip it was a treat to be able to relax after work with a walk to the beach. Proximity to shops and services was a big plus for us with this trip. With future work coming up I hope to stay again.

Beautiful views, wonderful property
A freshly renovated house with amazing views of Penneshaw’s beach and bay. Sparklingly clean with many thoughtful features and a friendly host. The pool table was great entertainment for the kids. We loved our stay in the house - it was so impressive and a short walk from cafes, the pub and shops. Highly recommend

What a view! A homely place to stay. Had a couple of unforeseen issues but Ros was so friendly, helpful and accessible that they were quickly rectified. So close to the ferry and local shops and cafe. Also perfect for your furbaby. Just be mindful if you need to work or be contactable there is no WiFi. We hope to return soon
