About this property

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.

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 !!

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.

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.

Fairview

Loved the location and would go back again. Tho I think the house is due for an update. There were cobwebs all around the house. There is mice poo in the bunk room behind the book case. I also asked for a cot but when we got there the cot was in the closet stacked full of lots of stuff which clearly wasn't freshly made up so I put my 2 yr in a single bed and hoped for the best. There were barely 10 pegs on the line to hang washing out with so had to buy some. The washing machine leaked as well. Ariel wouldn't work for the TV because it was broken so we rigged it up so we could get reception. I did notify owner if that one. The front blind wouldn't roll up but was lucky to have an uncle there that fixed that one. Microwave was missing a little foot underneath so was quite wonky. Would have been nice to have some microwave safe dishes to cook or reheat with. Sounds abit like I'm complaining but I'm wondering whether other guests have failed to mention these things and gradually the little jobs are getting more and more of a list. We would absolutely still stay again there but just thought I'd let you know a few things incase you wanted to get them sorted before the next people stay
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Aug 2023
Thank you for your feedback Amy. We are only ever a phone call away if there any issues during your stay. The house was de-cobwebbed prior to your 8 night stay. Unfortunately spiders can rebuild webs overnight. We aren't aware of any mice issues and and thank you for phoning us in regards to the TV antenna connection which has now been fixed. There is a peg bucket with a supply of extra pegs in addition to pegs on the line. We would have been more than happy to provide a portacot for your 2 year old. Just a phone call away. All the minor issues mentioned in your review have now been resolved. Thanks again.

The Good Life!

Thouroughly enjoyed the 'peace and tranquility', the house was well stocked for total self sufficient living away from home. The added bonus was the log fire in the cool evenings, very cosy. Wonderful walks along the beach collecting shells etc. our 14 year old dog became a pup again, running around off her lead!
