About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beachfront

Baudin House is a luxurious three-bedroom home featuring spectacular views overlooking the beach and mainland. It is a beautifully presented holiday home with all modern facilities and amenities. Designed for comfort, you’ll relax and enjoy wonderful views and magnificent sunsets over Penneshaw beach and Backstairs Passage to the mainland. A large open plan living area and expansive deck with a barbeque and outdoor furniture provide a haven for entertaining and is the perfect setting to enjoy good company and spectacular views. You can enjoy the Wallabies feeding on the lawn and Fairy Penguins wandering through the area at night.​ Only 50 metres walk to Penneshaw’s pristine swimming beach and close to local conveniences, it can accommodate eight people.

The essence of the property was eloquently captured by a recent guest " perfectly located within Penneshaw. Fantastic views of the ocean. Very close to the beach. You can hear the waves crashing by the beach as you listen to the crackle of the fireplace. So close to beach, its a short walk to be down on the sand. Situated close to the main centre, a short walk to all of the facilities (shops, restaurents and cafes). Several trails in close proximity too that are worth seeing. The house has everything you need to enjoy your stay, all the mod cons and more. Nicely secluded and quiet neighborhood- so all you can hear is nature."

If you are visiting Kangaroo Island, the Baudin House is the place to live! We recently stayed there and loved it. Highly recommended to anyone if you're going to KI with a family or a group of friends.

Sweeping views, great location, lacks in cleanliness
Great location walking distance to grocery and restaurants in Penneshaw. Views were unmatched. Unfortunately that is somewhat where the positives end. A day or two prior to check in we got an informational email very subtly saying that 2 (of 3) bedrooms had been prepared for our stay. I emailed the owner and said that we were a family of 4 and want to use all 3 bedrooms. He said that essentially it’s harder to clean 3 bedrooms and that’s why he prepared two. After some back and forth he agreed to have all 3 bedrooms available for our use. I’m glad I picked up on this because if I would have got there and one bedroom had been locked I would have been livid. The email also warned us that hot water was extremely limited and if we used it all up we wouldn’t get anymore. While I understand freshwater is in short supply, after talking to some natives on the island, this seemed to be unusual. If anything, this should have been put in the listing. The whole stay just had the air of an owner who was trying to pinch Pennies at the expense of guest comfort. The house was not clean. There were fresh mouse droppings under the sink. We were dodging mice in the garage. The tea kettle had obviously not been washed in some time and was unusable. In the bunk room, the bottom bunks have been made, but not the top ones the smaller children want to sleep on the top bunk’s, and had been looking forward to it. All in all the location and views are stunning but if you’re looking for a luxury and comfort, maybe look elsewhere.

Clean,quiet with great views
This is a very clean and spacious property with views of the ocean from the large deck and through the massive glass front wall. Its a 3 minute walk to the beach but far enough away from the ferry terminal to avoid any noise problems. The kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms were generously provisioned for the length of our stay. Internet access was good. We had a great time.
