Cozy property, very nice location, great service, peaceful and serene with the aura & greenery around. WiFi worked well, had a homely feeling with the hospitality of the owner. Value for the buck. Worth attending.

There’s literally nothing at American River except the lovely oyster farm shop that has terrific seafood. If you go to Kangaroo Island, which is beautiful, stay at Kingscote. The Ozone Hotel has good food and rooms as a start.

American river is quiet and has interesting history and little walks. With driving after 6pm not recommended it is rather good that the restaurant is excellent. (some hire car companies offer NO INSURANCE COVERAGE if vehicles are driven after 6pm - because of likelihood of wildlife strike).

It's a peaceful place and cool to see pelicans, black swans and the rare glossy black cockatoos. However, there isn't really a swimming beach so it is maybe more for fishing trips than beach-goers. Staying in the hotel means you are limited to eating out and there are few options (the hotel is excellent but expensive) - 2 nights here was great but we were happy to move on where we had more options of activities and food for the rest of our trip.

Well equipped house, very comfortable and roomy.
Well equipped house, very comfortable and roomy. Has 2 separate toilets. Nice view from main bedroom, kitchen and living/lounge rooms, verandah/deck the full width of the house. Very pleasant to sit on the deck after a day of sightseeing, enjoying a glass of local wine. There is a small supermarket that is quite well stocked. It's 20-30 mins to Kingscote where there is a good sized Drake's supermarket and more restaurants. The local Oyster Farm shop has good fresh oysters, but is only open from 11am to 3pm.

American River is a small, quiet town located approximately half way between Penneshaw, where the ferry from the mainland arrives and the main town of Kingscote. It was an easy 30 minutes between. Cooinda was quiet, had a lovely view over the water, comfy bed, hot shower and the bonus of a good kitchen and seperate living area, if you wanted to self cater. It was good to have a space that wasn't a hotel room for a business trip.
Everything, the room was very comfortable and clean - interior was perfect. Host was amazing, breakfast provided was yummy, homemade jams were perf. - can’t complain. Unfortunately we missed out on going to dinner there but can guarantee it would’ve been much better than the hotel Resturant’s we went to.
The property is in a great spot in American River. Surrounded by nature, but walking distance from some town amenities. Staff were really lovely and the place was comfortable. For a place so remote the staff do a great job of making the stay comfortable and relaxing.
Wonderful penthouse views overlooking the tranquil American River. The place was so comfortable and quiet for a great relax and sit on the balcony watching the world go by in a remote peaceful setting.
