Spacious House With Sea Views
Penneshaw Family Beachhouse is in a great location close to rhe ferry, shops and beach. There are great views of the sea. It is spacious and the kitchen is well equipped. Beds and linen were comfortable. The TV is equipped with a Fetch box so I was able to log on to my own streaming platforms.

Idyllic beach getaway
Light and spacious with everything we needed. Relaxing at the beach or on the verandah with a lovely view and wallabies at dusk. I would highly recommend this property for charm and location! I hope to be back.

Great Ocean view, Relaxing spot
- Great spot 10 min walk to centre of town (Very Good supermarket for a small town, multiple good coffee locations) - Super close to good swimming beach - Lots of Kangaroos around the house. - Short walk to see Tammar Wallabies, seals frocking and dolphins in late afternoon/evening (along Wallaby track) - House great layout, spacious - Big kitchen. Plus a few extras herbs & spices, oil, sugar, glad wrap etc.. - Sheridan towels and comfortable pillows - Amazing view from the verandas - Penneshaw while close to the ferry and a quieter location is a bit of a drive to the main tourist attractions. Saying that we could definitely stay at the same house/ location if we visited again.

Wonderful stay !
Lovely, spacious, comfortable house in a great location. Host was great and Penneshaw itself is a gorgeous little town . Went to Millie Mae's Pantry every day for breakfast, what a superb cafe ! Everything was so beautiful. Really enjoyed watching the ferries come and go from the front verandah.

Perfect Family Friendly Home
Jonathan is an amazing host and has perfectly put touches to the house which makes it a home! We were able to settle in comfortably quickly. The photos do not serve justice to the size of the house or it’s location! Short 2min stroll to the beach, 2min drive to the supermarket/ferry/pub .. or leave the car at the house (undercover parking available) and walk around the area - so much wild life to see.. just absolutely perfect! We can’t wait to return - and stay longer! Thank you again to Jonathan!

Amazing View
This place is huge, clean and has everything. We are a family of 4 and could have our own space without being on top of each other. It is a beautifully kept home with fantastic views across the bay and Jonathan communicated really well and made sure we were looked after. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Great stay at Beau Rivage Penneshaw
The photos on Stayz just don't do this property justice, it's a beautiful house with awesome views and great facilities. The owner couldn't do enough for us which was so appreciated. You wont regret staying here and Penneshaw is a great location with heaps to do and see nearby. The kids loved watching the ferries and cruise ships from our balcony. We'll definitely be back!!
