Would recommend

The place is beautiful especially the garden, felt very comfortable and homely. We took our dog who loved exploring the place and had the whole yard as the entire property was fenced. Beautiful location and loved each morning sitting on the deck looking over the beach having my coffee.

Ironstone Cottage

What a fantastic spot to stay; the views are incredible, it doesn't matter where you are in the home you have a amazing view. The gardens, inviting, so many flowering plants that invite birds and butterflies to linger. The home, itself is so warm and inviting, so many lovely personal touches that make you feel at home. A vase filled with flowers in the kitchen, a plate of milky way on the bench, a packet of Tim Tams in the fridge, and more.

Great cottage

Loved the generosity and comfort of Ironstone Cottage. Also would stay in Penneshaw rather than anywhere else. Could watch the ferry coming in and leaving. See the passenger liners anchored out the front. Can see pods of dolphins close to shore. Heartily recommend.

Ironstone Cottage

My husband and I, with our daughter, two granddaughters, and a colleague from Greece, spent two weeks in Ironstone Cottage in January this year. We enjoyed the beautiful views of the sea from the verandahs, watched dolphins mist days, swam at Penneshaw Beach and fossicked in the local rock pools. We did not lack anything and found Sandy a wonderful host. Our dog Matey also had a great time with a lovely big garden and plenty of room to play in. We are coming back next year.

Amazing spot.

Kangaroo island is the world’s best kept secret. It’s quiet, beautiful and such a friendly place. Ironstone Cottage was incredible accommodation and we had the best time. 2 days is definitely not enough.

Lovely family holiday

We had an excellent family holiday at Ironstone cottage for 2 weeks in January. The house is bigger than it appears in photos and we loved sitting out on the deck looking at the beautiful view. Our groodle was also very happy in the fully fenced in yard. The house is walking distance from town (there are some hills and no footpath) and next to a really lovely walk in the national park. Sandy was a great host and we're keen to go back!

Charming, rustic and beautiful. There is an amazing view and a stunning, well established garden in this superbly located cottage. Great for people with dogs due to the secure fenced in garden. Thank you for a great stay Sandy.

Stunning home away from home.

The cottage sits on top of hill looking over the bay at Penneshaw Kangaroo Island. A short walk into the town and beautiful white beachside. The house is quaint, warm & welcoming. Verandahs on all sides to enjoy the sunrise or sunset. Bed was comfortable and lovely linen. The owner has included many household necessities to make your stay enjoyable. Coffee machine, teas, sugar, spices, sauces, oil for cooking and sundries. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this little getaway cottage.
