Talinga on the Bay, Penneshaw
About this house rental
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!!!

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.

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

A comfortable and convenient property to explore Kangaroo Island, with good views of Penneshaw Bay (and the mainland in the distance). Very spacious for 3 adults plus a large dog. The property had a multi-level fenced area for our dog to roam. There was an IGA supermarket within easy walking distance. The property host /manager very generously express-posted some prescription eye drops that we left behind when we checked out.
Highly recommended.

Great uninterrupted view of the beach, adjacent harbour and across the ocean to Cape Jervis. The property is much larger than we expected and the pool table was a big bonus. The yard is secure and was ample for our dogs. It was a privilege to stay in such a nice property in a great location and not be prejudiced by having pets. A truly serene and relaxing location in a well serviced and friendly town

This property is within a short walk to the local amenities and beach. There is an IGA, pub, 2 cafes, fish and chip shop, post office, petrol station including hardware store, pharmacy and restaurant. You have stunning views of the beach and ocean, on our last night we were treated to a pod of dolphins fishing in the bay and a fantastic lightning storm.
The property is in need of some modernisation and a lick of paint, however there are modern amenities including washing machine, oven and TV. You do have everything you need, plenty of towels, toiletries and pantry items. The property is clean, however we did find a broken cup under one of the kids beds. The kids were entertained for hours by the pool table, all of the beds were very comfortable, there are 2 queens and 2 singles, the singles were a bit small for our 14 year old son who is touching 6 foot, be he was comfortable.
The house makes a lot of noise on a windy night, so take your earplugs, there are also possums who like to run across the roof like a herd of elephants at 4am, presume for fruits from the 2 fruit trees in the back yard.
Our dog was secure in the back yard after we closed the gate and there was a garden area for her to be able to do the essentials.
All in all we were pleased, good value for money and would certainly return.

Talinga on the Bay is one of the original shacks on The Levels which has amazing views to the mainland. It is an honest, value for money place to stay. Nothing flash although it has a new laundry and bathroom. Walking distance to the Sealink Ferry and IGA. Convenient and easy. Would recommend.

Talinga on the Bay is an excellent holiday house for a couple or a family. A view that cant be beaten, close to the beach and shops, clean, comfortable. Great beds and pillows. Good books on the history and flora and fauna of the area. Everything that one could hope for in a home away from home. We stayed 10 days and couldn’t fault the house. Thanks Ros. We had a superb time.

Property was great for us, we travelled with our dog so great to have a location so close to the beach. The bed in the main bedroom was comfortable. Although we didn’t cook the kitchen is well set up for anyone who likes to cook. We had a great stay and would happily recommend this property

The house was super clean, Ros was very good at communicating, the bed was so comfortable, the view was just great and the kitchen was fully equiped. There was even a pool table to use. This is an older place but made no difference to the pleasant stay as all the appointments were just great. Will be staying again.
