    Only thing we were worried about was the balcony stairs with very young children…a gate across there would have been ideal

    Maybe could install a few more flyscreens on the windows and doors to allow them to be opened in the evenings.

    Fantastic location, beautiful surroundings, great facilities. Everything was very comfortable.

    Well maintained, & well equipped home, with everything we needed. Ideal location with an unrestricted view of the ocean. With the wonderful outdoor setting on the front deck, we could sit back and relax while watching ferries, two cruise ships and regular morning dolphins frolicking!

    The second bedroom too small and the bed not so comfy and was a bit noisy when one person moved. No door on ensuite. Would prefer a TV in the kitchen lounge area. Would like some paytv to watch the footy.

    Views and location were the best. The house was warm and the kitchen facilities great. Main bed was super comfy.

    Nothing we didn't like

    The location is excellent both for staying local and enjoying walks and wildlife and as a base for exploring the island on day drives. Magnificent views over the ocean . Everything provided there was of high quality, clean and allowed for meals and picnics to be prepared in the kitchen or BBQ. Very comfortable warm bedding.

    For our tastes there was nothing we didn't like except maybe the dead kangaroo under the tree. :)

    This place is fantastic. The views of the strait between Kangaroo Island and the Main land of Australia is wonderful from the settee in the main room. To sit on the verandah and have a quiet drink ( of any kind) in the evening or breakfast with dolphins frolicking in the gulf is just awesome. The beds are very comfortable, the main bedroom has a huge ensuite with a lovely shower. The family living room space is big enough to have a party in. (not that we had one :)). The cupboards are stocked with so many things that are available to use such as cutlery, crockery and even coffee, sugar, condiments etc. We have stayed here twice now, the second time to give our cousin from the Netherlands a look at Kangaroo Island and its wonderful attractions. Wineries, the Raptors, Flinders Chase, Kingscote, honey and eucalyptus farms are just a few. Penneshaw also has a great Hotel for meals and the people are very friendly. I would recommend Ashenden's to anyone who is looking to stay on Kangaroo Island. Thank you again Helen and family for allowing us to stay in your beautiful holiday house. We will definitely come again.

    We were sad when it was time to leave!

    Ashendens is in a great location with great views. Everything one could possibly need while on holidays was provided by our hosts. And more! The house was clean and comfortable and our directions to get there were accurate and easy. Watching the ferry go by from the living room window was relaxing and felt like time stood still. We really felt like we were on holidays. Even the kangaroos visited us while we stayed there. We would highly recommend Ashendens to anyone visiting Kangaroo Island and would definitely stay again.

    I have a movement disability and is essential that I have grab rails in the bathroom / shower. It was very dangerous without these, but I would visit again if installed. NOTE : There was a 'dead mouse' odor at times in the bunk bedroom.

    Everything was great. Will try to come back in summer.

    The bed in the Master was small and a drying rack would have been good to dry woollens etc.

    spacious, extremely well fitted out, it had everything you could possibly want, close to the Sealink Ferry.
