We enjoyed the breakfast recommendations that the host had given. It was absolutely delicious. We decided to have dinner at the hotel at the last minute, the chef manage to accommodate our request and the wagyu for the night was divine. We could not stop raving about it, especially the Asian Fusion shallot infused sauce. Yums! The host were really thoughtful. They catered for the needs of our little one. Our little one had a great experience at the property!

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!

    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.

  • Cooinda Eco Holiday Village

    Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.7
    Good - What previous guests thought, 54 reviews
    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.

    The rooms were tastefully styled and the view out over American River to Island Beach was stunning. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and the complimentary breakfast complete with freshly baked pastries and coffee was a pleasant surprise. I look forward to visiting again.

    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.
