Property was lovely with a great view.Good communication from host from booking right through.Kitchen & all other facilities well appointed.We did have to clean up ants in the dining area on 2 occasions (perhaps needs an ant treatment)Also the coffee machine was not cleaned before our visit & the 2nd bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable & dipped to the middle, we turned it around which did help a little.Otherwise, a lovely relaxing stay.Would recommend to future guests.KI is a lovely place, particularly the national park in the west.

We stayed at Millpond for a few nights to celebrate a family reunion on the Island. It was a perfect venue for four adults and two children. It is only a two-minute walk to the beach, a ten-minute walk to the centre of town, and a three-minute drive to the ferry terminal. The living space is fresh and modern, opening up onto the beautiful vista of Hog Bay. The kitchen is large and well-equipped. There is an excellent laundry with a washing machine and a dryer, as well as a clothes line out the back. The two full bathrooms make it ideal for larger groups. It was delightful being able to sit and eat cheese and drink wine on the patio. The host Eddie was outstanding to deal with. He was always prompt in communicating and flexible and accommodating when our circumstances changed. We would love to come back one day and would 10/10 recommend it to our friends and family.

Perfection in Penneshaw

Millpond is a perfectly appointed holiday home. It was an absolute delight to stay here and it will be the first place I look on my next trip to KI. All the little details are there - platters, spices, tools for seafood, puzzles/books for rainy days. The front verandah was a lovely place to relax, watch the dolphins, birds and see the wallabies :)

Well equipped holiday home in a picturesque settin

Millpond is wonderfully situated - on a quiet road, with a front terrace overlooking Hog's Bay, and a short stroll to the shops of Penneshaw. The house has a large kitchen/living/dining space and 3 good sized bedrooms and is very well presented, and equipped with everything you would need to live, let alone holiday. The owners are helpful and very communicative. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here exploring the sights of Kangaroo Island.
