Located high on the hillside with sea views plus native vegetation all around, this property is a bird lover's paradise.  For those wanting to relax and enjoy the luxury of this property, be it creating a meal in the kitchen, taking a spa with a view!!! or watching televison in one of the four bedrooms (or lounge), this property is for you.

This property is unsuitable for children under 14 years of age. If you have a child 14 and over, the rate per night is the same as the adult rate,  just add anyone 14 and over in the total number of people in the extra adult section, when making your booking.

The property is  on the hill,and we advise visitors the driveway (bitumen) is steep, and can take two vehicles.  Entrance to the house itself is by way of an internal staircase, so check the fitness levels of those travelling with you.   Having said this, once inside, or on the verandah, the sheer luxury and wow factor is worth a holiday at Saar River House. 

Just 3 minutes by car  to the launching ramp at American River, a 5 - 10 minute walk to the shops and restaurants, with the post office close by.   Picturesque walks with information bays along the way providing details of the prolific birdlife to be seen at close quarters in both the sea and trees.

Location Map

Includes American River, Pelican Lagoon, Muston & Red Banks

American River is KI’s most protected harbour and is a sleepy seaside fishing village. If you are looking for a quiet holiday to throw the line in off the jetty with nothing too flash but comfortable and laid back, then American River is for you. There’s also the American River Hotel restaurant which makes great meals in a relaxed environment. The ‘River’ offers amazing views over Eastern Cove, the mainland and Pelican Lagoon. Pelican Lagoon is a marine reserve with many small inaccessible islands which are home to enormous amounts of rare bird and marine life. Very picturesque indeed. It’s a 10 minute drive to the beautiful swimming waters of Island Beach.

American River is a bit built up with residential housing and has more of a ‘locals’ feel to it.

You’ll catch all the usual wildlife at night – Roos and Wallabies and more..

Eastern Cove, the outer bay, offers excellent sailing and fishing in semi-protected waters. The village of American River supports these pursuits with an excellent boat ramp, barbecue and picnic facilities, fishing charters and boat hire. The Kangaroo Island oyster industry is also housed here.

Summary: 
Sleepy 1960’s feeling local fishing village
 

Guest Reviews

Extremely well appointed from a full range of sharp kitchen knifes and all that can be needed in the kitchen to a fish cleaning sink outside.  Rob, Stirling.    January 2012

Sarr river house was a delightful house tostay in, facilities were perfect and the view was outstanding, we found it very hard to leave. We would defiantly recommend Sarr River House to our friends and family and would 100% consider returning in the future.         Kellie January 2013

 I booked this break after a family tragedy. It was the perfect place to relax in peace and quiet. To recharge the batteries. Beautiful views and the best of everything. In the tree tops like living in a perfect treehouse. Thank you.  Theresa April 2013.
