    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.

    We loved this place. My children are very keen to come back again. They loved this space especially, as the internet is fast and the TV set is of good quality. I loved the kitchen and appliances and enjoyed cooking. It is a stunning location. Our US friends who stayed with us escaped to the hotel, as they found this place too cold. The heating is only in the living room. We still enjoyed it, as we prefer to sleep in cool rooms. Kids loved splashing in the bathtub.

    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.
