The space
Welcome to Lazy Shanty, a sun-drenched coastal getaway located in the heart of American River.

This classic South Australian two-bedroom shack is perfect for those looking to disconnect from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with nature. Enjoy a front-row seat to calm waters, observe resident birdlife, and experience absolute tranquillity.

Recently updated with vibrant colours, this property maintains its charming fisherman's shack aesthetic. Lazy Shanty features a sheltered private garden area that offers plenty of outdoor space, including a convenient outdoor fridge/freezer, a large BBQ/plancha, and a fish-cleaning bench for your catch. To embrace the local culture, Lazy Shanty offers fishing gear rentals for your stay, including two fishing rods and a tackle box. You can find out more about this once your reservation is made.

Additionally, there is an extra patio featuring a small BBQ, a table, chairs, and an outdoor cabinet stocked with recreational items, such as tennis rackets for the nearby beachside tennis court and other fitness equipment to use on your commun community oval backyard.

The shack boasts a spacious ensuite main bedroom, complete with a large queen-size bed, storage, linens, blankets, and a smart TV. It also offers a convenient study with a desk, chairs, and a USB charging station—ideal for business or focused time. The main bedroom provides direct access to the patio and the laundry shed.

The laundry shed is designed for your convenience and is furnished with a washing machine, dryer, ironing board, small iron, laundry basket, hanging rack, and shelves for laundry detergents.

The second bedroom is thoughtfully designed with a bunk bed and an additional bed, accommodating a more social and active lifestyle. This room can fit up to three people and has direct access to the bathroom and the outdoor area. Children, grandparents, and young adults appreciate its comfort and simplicity, enjoying their privacy while watching their own TV shows as the parents prepare dinner in the fully equipped kitchen. A cot and a changing table are also available upon request.

Lazy Shanty exudes a relaxing holiday atmosphere with its modest yet inviting look and facilities. Sleeping arrangements are excellent, and the garden space adds freedom to your holiday. The property includes a front door camera and free private parking. Sensor lights illuminate your path at night as you retrieve your keys.

The wharf and boat ramp are just a two-minute walk away, making it ideal for fishing. Ask the friendly fishermen for fishing advice, and consider booking an adventure tour, such as a Swimming with Dolphins or Raptor Wildlife Centre tour. Enjoy fishing, tasting local wine, or simply watching seals sunbathe from a safe distance on the shore, and be sure to check out local cafes or restaurants.

Lazy Shanty is a delightful getaway in the heart of the American River!
