What a magical place with endless views and a garden of Eden. The privacy of this lovely accommodation is amazing we wish we stayed longer but will definitely come back. James the manager was so kind friendly and helpful. Lovely owner and so welcoming. My daughter of 2 years old was heaven with the garden and ducks on the water.

What an amazing spot for a couple to spend some quality time together. The private little forest stroll down to your own little lawn right on the river, the beautiful antiques in the room, the magnificent fireplace, being completely private yet so close to the hustle and bustle and of course the friendly James- who is an absolute GEM!! Thank you Ymile for the wonderful welcome and the gorgeous stay!

I needed a port in a storm and Kennedy’s provided just such a haven. It is a magnificent property, a really magical place. You will experience; tranquility for the mind, rest and recuperation for the body (call Lucinda) and serenity for your soul. The Villa is a Grand old lady with antiques which have interesting stories behind the, exquisite artwork an evenings d a feeling of luxury. The bed inviting and so comfortable and fireplace warmed me on those chilly evenings. After an initial unfortunate mix up wt my booking, it seems as Mrs Kennedy is as grand a lady as the villa itself and I am pleased to say was rectified quickly and generously. But oh if not for James 😌 A more kind and wonderful man I have yet to meet. His eagerness to please and make sure you are happy is heart-warming. James is there for anything you need and those gardens James, the are enchanted with your special loving touch. I’m sure Mrs Kennedy won’t let anyone steal you! 😁James my gratitude to you is huge! We will meet again when I book next 🌈🌙🌸💕…

The Villa at Kennedy's absolutely blew our mind! I wish I could give this place more than a 5/5. The owners are lovely and James, the caretaker, is one of the sweetest, best humans you will meet... with a smile that will warm your heart. The garden(s) are amazing, and the view, while providing solitude has an amazing ocean view. As for the Villa itself, the online images don't do it justice - and you definitely get more than your money's worth (granted it is low season, but compared to other similarly priced places you're winning!) Apart from being beautiful, there's also some files with insight into the Kennedy family and the history of the building and some of the decor... It is winter, but the fireplace was perfect and created a perfect atmosphere. We'll 100% be back later in the year once summer kicks in!…

Kennedy's Beach Villa offers spectacular views of Onrus beach. It is secluded and comfortable with all the amenities you will need. Mr. James Brown did an excellent job over the weekend and Ymile Kennedy is a fantastic host. I would highly recommend Kennedy's Beach Villa if you are looking for a tranquil getaway.

We’ve been there twice and will go again for sure. Here’s why…. The accommodation is lovely, both rooms offers a view and have grand beds to sleep in. So far so normal, but really the location is the draw card. You look out on a wonderful lagoon, it reflects the hills behind, and with almost no houses to spoil your view. To the right, a beautiful beach and then the cashing sea. You can walk down to the lagoon through a special garden, a path through a tunnel of trees and bush. There’s a hot tub and then a lawn with chairs overlooking the lagoon. It’s totally private, quiet and prefect. There’s a good resturant 10 minutes walk for a coffee, lunch , or evening a meal and yes, even cocktails. All in all a top spot for a break.

This was our second time visiting.🤩 Ymile is an absolute gem of a hostess, having the skill to be attentive, but respectful of your privacy. Spend your time in nature, or make your way to the jetty where you can swim in the lagoon or appreciate the lovely view of the ocean. Enjoy the great flavours at Milk restaurant that is a walking distance from the accommodation, or pop over for a great coffee… Take the kidos for a waffle or Milkshake at the Waffel Shack. So many things to like so little time hehe Thank you for having us, it was an absolute delight!! xx
