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.

Nice quiet area, pretty and not too far from Kingscote where there are some pubs, shops and fishing off the Jetty. If you're looking for a peaceful area to stay them American River is the place for you.

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.
Property was relatively new build. Bedrooms were on the small side but comfortable. Open plan living area worked OK for our family of 4. All necessary facilities were included. Though it's located around 400m from the beach/dock. It's quite a hike up the hill back to the property. We did find some beautifully scenic walks in and around American River which we enjoyed..
The hosts were friendly and gave us a lots of useful information to enjoy our stay. Full size fridge was very useful. Kitchen had all essential and outside bbq was a bonus. Beautiful garden, quiet neighborhood, koaras and tamar wallabies in the garden, short walk on the foot path to American River township, and the bush walking track.
New management are literally sweeping this place clean.
They even prepared us a table for dining outdoors! A first for the restaurant - ever!
I think that with some attention to detail and some renovation relevant to today - this will be a great hotel to stay at
Excellent view over American River. Fully equipped kitchen on gas was great. Comfortable lounges, tv in lounge and each bedroom. Excellent shower with high water pressure. Lots of books, cds, games to access. Plenty of room to spread out.
Photo's of the property were taken quite a while ago, It was a bit like stepping back into a 1980's motel. Bed was comfortable. Dining menu was limited but food was good quality. Location was lovely. Housekeeping staff were excellent.
The location in American River was lovely and peaceful. Views from breakfast were gorgeous and the breakfast was delicious with fresh homemade bread and provisions. Very clean and friendly owners.
Location was excellent. Walking distance to everything in American River. Very peaceful. Well appointed for short stay. Very clean. Staff friendly and helpful.
