I stayed for 4 days and I could have stayed forever! The most beautiful, pristine place I have ever been to! The wildlife, bird life and scenery was so beautiful! The only noise I heard were all the birds singing and the gentle waves….stunning

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.

The price is good and and view is so amazing with the beautiful blue ocean . The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting downtown Kangaroo island Thank you Dhea and Family for an excellent stay. You guys were professional in every way. Accommodation and food was of the highest standard specially the Dinner that is so amazing and a wonderful experience for us. Looking forward to booking with you again.

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..

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.
