Talinga on the Bay, Penneshaw

This 3-bedroom house sleeps up to 6 people with 2 queen and 2 single beds. The renovations include a new wood fired heater to embrace the winter months, whilst still enjoying the wonderful views of Penneshaw beach. Free WiFi, With two showers and two toilets everyone is happy.
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.
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!!!
