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.
Everything about this property is amazing. The view location cleanliness owners and most of all breakfast. Most of the things in breakfast home made or collected locally. Yoghurt, jam, caramel, bread were home made and had a unique taste to all of them. Breakfast is included in the room booking. I would say that’s the best breakfast I’ve had in a hotel. The owners are so nice and friendly. Everything about this hotel is so good.
The house is beautifully decorated, it has everything you need. The host had thought of everything, even provided oil, basic condiments if you like to do some cooking. The bed is very comfortable. Quality linen. I particularly like those photograph work on the wall which were all done by one of the hosts. Because of that I found a hidden gem in American River, the Red Banks. The place was simply stunning during sunset.
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.
Nice cosy & spacious cottage.
Had everything we needed.. lovely bathroom!
Loved the fact there were heaters in every room as we wasn't expecting it to be cold..
Good location though American River itself didn't have much and couldn't really go to the beach there as muddy.
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.
Located just infront of American river(perfect location), the house is clean, beautifully decorated and well equipped with every little item you need for a vaccay. Overall experience was awesome.
