The Shanty

Step back in time and relax in this bright and cheerful 1970s holiday home, lovingly refreshed with a splash of colour and coastal charm. Perfectly positioned in the peaceful seaside town of American River, this two-bedroom retreat offers a laid-back island experience surrounded by nature and native birdlife.

There are two comfortable bedrooms and one bathroom to help recharge after a day of island exploring.

The Shanty enjoys a peaceful location in the heart of American River, with The Oyster Farm Shop and Deck Café just a short stroll away — perfect for a delicious seafood lunch or a relaxed coffee overlooking the water. You’ll also find public tennis courts nearby if you fancy a friendly match before heading out to explore. Take a short drive to Penneshaw or Kingscote to explore more of the island’s attractions, cafes and beaches.

Experience the charm of a true Kangaroo Island original — a bright and happy holiday house where families and friends can relax and make lasting memories together.
