• Kingscote - Penneshaw - home

    December 15, 2025 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Left our apartment by 8.30am to go to the Penneshaw Cruise market. We only went to buy more pastries as we knew Susie (from Les Douceurs de Sooz bakery) was planning to have a stall. Peter spotted her stall straight away. Bought 4 pastries then had a look at the other stalls.
    Drove to Kingscote (45 mins) & contacted the owners of Emu Bay Holiday homes & arranged to meet them at Amani, the accessible house in their group of houses. Dirk met us there & showed us through it. Worried the cleaner as she thought we were there to move in because apparently they have many moving out/ in today. The house was amazing!!! 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom & 2 living areas!! Fantastic view of Emu Bay. Just looking at it it would suit my needs better. We found our accommodation & surrounds quite difficult this week. Amani even had two sinks in the accessible bathroom so if a person is unable to stand they can use the lower basin, 👏!! This property had many other features that will make it a holiday for us, it is so well thought out.
    Went to Cactus Cafe for coffee & eggs on toast, Peter had the Mexican brekky which was much better.
    Drove back to Penneshaw , looked around. There were many people from the cruise ship wandering around aimlessly 🤨! All we felt like was an ice cream 🍦, we finally got one from Drakes Foodland 😜. My drumstick ice cream was good but the cone was stale. Doesn't seem like ice cream is popular here. I always feel like one at the beach.
    The trip back on the ferry was an hour. It was only half full.
