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.

The property is very well appointed, superbly positioned, clean and very comfortable. It was indeed a home away from home. Add the dolphins at the beach below and it is a little piece of paradise.

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 :)

The most perfect house with beautiful views

We couldn’t have asked for a better house than Millpond! It had everything we could possible want and Eddie and Rhonda were so helpful! The views to the white sandy beach were stunning and KI was the most heavenly place. Definitely will come back!

Holiday of memories with girlfriends

Loved this holiday experience with longtime girlfriends. The house was excellent. Loved the 2 full bathrooms as we had a girlfriend with a moon boot on and legally blind so was very easy for her to find her way around with easy access.

Best holiday home we’ve stayed at with amazing views over the bay! :) 5star!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Millpond. The location is perfect and the view is breathtaking. It was so much better than I was anticipating. The house was presented beautifully, immaculately clean and had absolutely everything you could need whilst on holiday. Would highly recommend this house for a very relaxing stay on KI. We will be back again :).
