Mercure Kangaroo Island Lodge, hotel in American River

American River is a bit out of the way, and KI Lodge is almost as far as you can go before the road ends! We had a superior King Bayview room, which had a nice balcony, 2 decent beds and was tastefully decorated. Its features include tea and coffee making facilities, a fridge, an iron and ironing board, and a room safe. And thank you to the hotel for the “welcome gift” of a bottle of wine and cookies; very thoughtful! There is an a la carte restaurant and a bar, which served food. We chose the latter and were quite happy with the selection of meals available. It has a marked walk in their rear grounds, which we did, and were lucky to see glossy black Cockatoos in the wild. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Also, it's only 40 mins to the ferry, so very convenient.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The staff were wonderful and friendly. The restaurant was ok, the facilities are clean and comfortable but pretty outdated. The location was nice with a lovely view but american river is pretty far away from everything so lots of back and forth.

    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.
