    george - April 2006
    I visited Penneshaw APRIL 2006 for 3 days. This was a business trip for a major study for the University of South Australia. Westerns Rest was a great accommodation. I was surprised on how clean the place was, they had also some in-house DVD’s and other little things that made us comfortable. Beautiful views, close to the beach with wallabies and rabbits coming on the front lawn at night. It was a real heaven and I highly recommend westerns rest. I hope to one day come back for a holiday to Penneshaw and once again stay there.
    Greg - May 2006
    A brilliant spot with just the right facilities at a fair price.
