Outdoor Areas: There is a verandah right around the house with sitting areas on three sides of the house. Savour your morning coffee while relaxing in woven lounge chairs on the front verandah watching the sunrise over the water. Or enjoy a snack at the casual wooden table and chairs at the southern end of the verandah while watching your children on the rope swings in the tree, still overlooking the large garden and water views. There is a very large northern outdoor, undercover verandah barbecue/dining/entertaining area with bright or dimmable lighting. Here there is an outdoor dining table and bar bench where you can enjoy the peaceful, picturesque views while having a drink and/or dining in style! This northern entertaining area also has a work bench with a portable barbecue stored in the cupboard. Plus there is a table tennis table in this area. Spotlights light up the large gum trees in the garden at night. There is a firepit area at the foot of one of the large gum trees where you can sit around a warm firepit during the months from 1 May to 31 October.

Other things to note: As for all buildings in American River, our house water supply is solely from its own roof catchment into the tanks beside the house. PLEASE USE WATER SPARINGLY by: - having short showers or small baths - put plug in sink to wash dishes rather than running water over dishes under the tap - only start the dishwasher when it's full - only wash full loads of clothes in the washing machine - don't leave taps dripping. Be mindful of your electricity use and turn off all appliances when you go out, including lights, heaters, air conditioner, exhaust fan, clothes dryer, stove, oven, television, bathroom heat lights and fans etc. Things to do in American River: Take a 5 minute walk down cement steps from beside our house, to the foreshore. The wharf is a further 10 minute walk where there is good fishing from the wharf and a boat ramp alongside. See the resident seals lazing on the side of the wharf. You’ll also see pelicans, seagulls, cormorants, herons and other water birds. There's a children's playground and tennis courts near the wharf also. There are several good eating places in American River including: The Glossy Black Restaurant Wanderers Rest Reflections Restaurant at the Mercure Hotel The Oyster Farm Shop The Deck Café The General Store sells basic groceries, coffees and hot pies etc. You can also buy fishing bait and bags of firewood at the General Store. The bigger supermarkets are in Kingscote (the main town on KI) and Penneshaw. The American River Art & Crafts Centre on the esplanade is well worth a visit also. You need a car when visiting Kangaroo Island as there is no public transport. You can hire a car or take your own on the Sealink ferry. If only visiting KI for a couple of days, it is possibly cheaper to hire a car. There is no petrol available in American River - the closest petrol pumps are in Penneshaw and Kingscote, both slightly over 35km away.
