*** 2010 SOUTH AUSTRALIAN TOURISM AWARDS BRONZE MEDALIST***

An original KI settlers home, this historic stone cottage with magnificent ocean views is conveniently located only 3 minutes from the Sealink ferry terminal and has stood watch over beautuful Hog's Bay for more than 100 years.

The cottage has been lovingly restored and refurbished and offers attractive, well appointed facilities to the astute traveller. Charlie's has been described by many in the travel industry as one of the best self contained homes in its price range on the Island.

A recent extension consisting of a modern fully equipped kitchen, dining area with ocean views, laundry, spacious heated bathroom with separate shower and clawfoot bath have made this unique piece of history a fantastic accommodation choice. Curl up in front of the stunning open fire place, watch the LCD TV, read a book, or enjoy time with your loved ones.

Feed the wallabies and spectacular blue wrens on the lawn, try your hand at fishing off the Penneshaw jetty or simply relax on the verandah with your favourite glass of Kangaroo Island wine and watch the sun set over the ocean.

If there's one decision you wont regret this year, Charlie's on KI is it.

All stays of 6 nights will receive a 7th night free, all year!!

Why stay in Penneshaw?

A picture book seaside village, Penneshaw is the ideal location for your stay on Kangaroo Island. Superb swimming beaches, stunning scenery, fantastic fishing, abundant wildlife and a well serviced town centre are just some of the attractions Penneshaw has to offer.

Just at the end of the road from Charlie’s, Hog’s Bay Beach is a great place to swim, see dolphins or the occassional seal at play and has excellent grassed BBQ facilities located near the Penguin Information Centre and ferry terminal. The centre is open nightly for tours featuring Penneshaw’s cutest residents, the Little Fairy Penguins. Tammar wallabies roam the streets in the evening, stopping at Charlie's for a munch on the lawn of some fruit.

The Penneshaw Hotel and Sorrento’s Restaurant offer quality meals with ocean views, or after a hard days touring if you don’t feel like cooking or eating out, there are several take away options including a pizza bar and fish and chips.
Pack a picnic and stop at Chapman River on your way back from Cape Willoughby Lighthouse, sample wines and local produce at Sunset and Dudley Wineries or fish for the famed KI King George Whiting on the jetty. What ever your idea of the perfect Kangaroo Island holiday you're sure to find it at Charlie’s in Penneshaw.

With so much to see and do in the Penneshaw area, you could be tempted to never leave, but if you decide to discover everything the Island has to offer, all the Islands attractions are within an easy day’s driving return trip from Charlie’s. To ensure your safety, when planning day trips make sure you allow enough time to return home before dusk, as this when many of the Island’s wildlife species become active.
