Great breakfast. Great restaurant for evening meal & casual bar area for drinks & more casual dinning.

Dhea and Nicolas were excellent, friendly and informative hosts. Their lovable dog Lloyd kept us amused. We chose The River Suites and the Samphire Restaurant to stay at to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. We were not disappointed. The breakfast was a superior continental style - everything was fresh and plentiful. The coffee was excellent. The views from the balcony of our room and the restaurant were stunning. The 7 course degustation meal was exceptional. We enjoyed our 4 day stay at American River, experiencing all the Town and surrounds had to offer.

The rooms were very cosy and the paintings amazing.
The view from our ocean view room is stunning. We would open up our curtains and enjoy the beautiful views from our room.

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.
Lovely and neat accommodation in calm American River which just sits between (for KI) busy Kingscote and Penneshaw (where all the ferries arrive and leave) - perfect if you’re looking for peace and quiet! We enjoyed the picturesque view from the balcony onto the sea. We were visited twice by a kangaroo and have seen many birds like the rare black-tailed cockatoos - awesome! Many thanks to Kevin & his wife who have been very helpful and made us feel welcome and well.
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.
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..
Everything!! The hosts were awesome, heaps friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfy, but it was the view on our private balcony across American river from room 6 that blew us away. They do brekkie and soon to be dinner as well ( i heard on the grape vine ) the pool was crystal clean, and my son said that the walkway to the rooms felt like a tropical walk.
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.
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 hotel blends perfectly into the bush and makes you feel like your in a remote escape. The staff are excellent especially Yuki who went above above and beyond our whole trip. Also the food was 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.
