Great host who reacted quickly and pleasantly to any requests. The 6 cabins are well appointed and have all you need. Having koala in the grounds was an amazing experience and got to have dinner with fellow guests in the garden which was a bonus

It was a bigger place than we had expected with extra amenities. It was very clean and furniture was comfortable. The owner was very communicative and friendly. They had even labelled the light switches and had provided board games ready to go!

This apartment had everything needed for a few nights' stay. The pictures don't really do it justice. There's more outside space, with BBQ, table and chairs, than the pictures show. It's next to the main road, so there's some traffic noise during busy times, but virtually nothing at night during our visit. Jane was very helpful and responded quickly to queries. Easy to access from Penneshaw even after dark. Good access to the eastern end of the island. Plenty of birdlife around too.

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.

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.

Quirky little spot in American River, with a nice stroll to the jetty/wharf. Place was clean however, the multiple little steps and ledges made it a bit challenging for my mum (74yo) to navigate through the house, but no big deal (we managed). The little deck was a great spot for a bbq dinner and to watch the sunset. Our only regret was that the oyster shack right next to the property was shut! Not the fault of the host, but as an oyster fanatic, I was pretty sad to see the oyster shack closed :(...
