Fareview Beach House | Emu Bay | Scenic Seaside Escape

Fareview Beach House is a comfortable and fully self-contained 3-bedroom holiday home, ideal for couples or families. Sleeping up to 9 guests, it's just a short walk from the jetty, boat ramp, and the pristine white sands of Emu Bay. Enjoy sweeping sea and beach views from the fully enclosed sundeck – the perfect spot to relax and unwind.

Features & Amenities:

Complimentary WiFi and Smart TV

Separate shower and bath

Washing machine, hairdryer, ironing facilities

Electric blankets on queen beds

Fully renovated, well-equipped kitchen with family-size fridge/freezer, full-size stove, microwave, blender, milkshake maker, sandwich press & coffee pod machine.

Hooded gas BBQ for outdoor dining

High chair and porta cot available on request (free of charge)

There’s plenty of off-street parking for vehicles and a boat, plus a shaded fish cleaning sink located beside the shed. Smoking is permitted outside only.

Pet-Friendly:
Well-behaved dogs are welcome for a small fee of $20 per night plus a $100 refundable pet bond. The enclosed sundeck provides a secure space for your furry friends.

Included in Your Stay:
All bed linen, bath towels, tea towels, tea, coffee, sugar and essential consumables are provided.

Local Highlights: Emu Bay is known for its resident koalas, dolphins, fairy penguins, pelicans, and wide sandy beach – one of the few on Kangaroo Island accessible by car. It’s popular for swimming, water sports, and beach walks, and a fantastic base for exploring attractions like Seal Bay, Flinders Chase National Park, Stokes Bay, American River, and Penneshaw.

Just 15 minutes from Kingscote, the island’s main town, you’ll have easy access to shops, supermarkets, dining, ATM, post office, fuel, hospital, laundromat, and more. A public playground and phone are just 200m away.

Getting Here:
Kangaroo Island can be reached by a 30-minute flight from Adelaide or a 45-minute Sealink ferry from Cape Jervis, approximately a 2-hour drive south of Adelaide. Bring your own car or hire one from Kingscote, Penneshaw, or the airport.

Don't Miss:
The Penneshaw Farmers Market, held on the first Sunday of each month at Lloyd Collins Reserve, is a great place to pick up fresh local produce and meet the makers.

With diverse landscapes, abundant wildlife, and stunning beaches, Kangaroo Island offers something for everyone – and Fareview Beach House puts you in the heart of it all.

K.I.Experience

We stayed 3 nights at Fairview Beach House. Great view. Short walk to the water. Sleeps up to 11, great for a family get away. Could do with a good garden tidy up, front and back. View a bit cut off. And a bit of TLC with the internal doors. But all needs provided for and in good proximity to Kingscote for supplies. Emu Bay is a beautiful spot. Will be back one day.

HOME far away from home - Amazing

The property was well-presented and neat with all basic amenities. The property owner/manager was very accommodating and understanding and was just a call (Telstra Network only and no other) away should you encounter any unexpected issues at the property. We had a great family time and would love to come back - Thank you for having us !!

Wonderful stay at Emu Bay

Emu Bay is a lovely beach and Fareview is very comfortable base to visit the Island. It is well set up with everything we needed and deck is a great space for relaxing. Our pup had some great playtime in the spacious back yard and on the beach. We would definitely recommend and hope to stay again.

Fareview ticks every box.

Fareview is an absolute gem in a beautiful part of the world. It is a very functional beach shack that has it all, price, position and presentation. The property is a credit to the owners, Christine and Steve. Upon entering Fareview, the guests want for nothing. Thank you for sharing your house with us, we will return.
