Overview

Penneshaw sits on the north‑east coast of Kangaroo Island, about 107 km south of Adelaide, and serves as the island’s main ferry gateway. A timber jetty and breakwater welcome the daily ferry from Cape Jervis and provide a tender landing for the growing number of cruise‑ship visitors, while the sheltered waters around the jetty are popular with snorkelers and scuba divers. The town’s coastal setting gives residents easy access to Hog Bay, Christmas Cove and the nearby Baudin Conservation Park, supporting an active, outdoors‑focused lifestyle.

Local amenities blend heritage and tourism. The Maritime and Folk Museum, St Columba Anglican Church, the historic Uniting Church and the Frenchman’s Rock monument all sit within walking distance of the Penneshaw Penguin Centre, which offers evening tours of the little‑penguin colony. Accommodation ranges from permanent homes to the Penneshaw Caravan Park and the Kangaroo Island Seafront hotel, providing a varied housing mix for both residents and short‑term visitors.
