The house is well equipped for a family, offering everything including toys and games for the kids. short walk to the supermarket and pub, and can hop skip and jump to the beach. the wallabys come right up to the house to feed at night, and the penquins can be seen from the deck! what a fantastic place for a holiday - you must go!"

  • "A most peaceful place in which to recharge your batteries while taking in the excellent view of Hog's Bay. The house was well equiped and clean and the local information provided by the owners made it a very enjoyable and memorable stay. The shops are just a short walk away and the local supermarket stocks absolutely everything. I can wholeheartedly recommend staying at Western's Rest and we hope to be back one day soon."

  • "We went with another family of four, the house had everything we needed and is ideally located close to Penneshaw Beach. Would recommend to friends looking to see KI. Jim "

  • "The house was in great condition and very cosy. It was a benefit to be walking distance to the main town and the beach was delightful with only a few people in sight. At night it was great to sit on the front patio and watch the wallaby's on the front lawn. Very peaceful and a great place to recharge the batteries."
    Greg, May 2008
     
  • "This was our third consecutive year staying in Penneshaw and Western's Rest has been our best accommodation so far. We have already booked 2009. The position is ideal the 2 queen size beds are very comfortable and the bunk room for the kids is at the other end of the house so we could have some privacy. The large family and dinning area was fabulous for family and friends visiting and the front deck overlooking Hog Bay was superb for early morning coffees or evening GnT's. Thanks for a great place to unwind. Cheers. David K"
    David, May 2008
     
  • "Absolutely wonderful location and view and we had a comfortable time with our extended family. The two lounge areas are a bonus. Well set up kitchen/ dining, deck, laundry and bedrooms and audio-visuals & bar b q. "
