You can enjoy a day out bushwalking around Penneshaw and KI then retreat to the main apartment at days end to celebrate the days walking adventures.
Susan understands this concept well after decades of walking with her Sole Mates bush walking group, 12 women who go where no woman has gone before, making their own way along the stunning cliff tops of KI. Susan and her bush walking buddy Donna once walked from Cape Border to Cape Willoughby to raise awareness and funds for Motor Neuron Disease research.
