    Great location, lovely and comfortable newly fitted out rooms, great view of American River, fast wifi. Excellent restaurant for local seafood delights - among the best seafood meal we have ever had. Friendly and hospitable owners/hosts. The parking area was being updated while we were there in early March (it’s located on a steep hill) - so the parking challenge will be solved in the near future.

    Amazing recently refurbished hotel in American River. The rooms were spacious and super comfy beds. We actually spotted the glossy black cockatoo from our balcony. The hosts were super friendly and served a delicious breakfast every morning and we went for their 7 course fine dining for dinner where we got to watch sunset and was the best meal we had on the island hands down

    All great.

    Travelling with my sister, we loved every minute of our stay at The River Suites. From the delightful breakfast (with very relaxing background music), lovely rooms with the most spectacular views (we left drapes open to see the beautiful sunrises) and choice of comfy pillows, River Suites delivers. Owners Nicolas and Dhea are delightful and we'd highly recommend having dinner at their Samphire Restaurant ... local seafood degustation was superb. Flavours exquisite... nothing not to love. These guys deserve every support and success. You won't be sorry!!

    Nothing! They were building new car spaces, very quietly which when finished will make this perfect!

    Exceptionally clean, well thought out and appointed room with a beautiful water view and balcony. Modern furnishings which someone clearly took some time to put together. Quality linen, bedding and towels. The continental breakfast was much appreciated each day by my husband whilst I enjoyed a nespresso on the balcony watching the sun rise over the waters. Bathroom was clean, water pressure perfect with the kitchenette well appointed with necessities such as Nespresso, teas & microwave. Good sized wardrobe, big screen TV, big lounge & even a dining table. After our first use of the shower we returned to find our room made up and our lovely hosts even popped a shelf into the shower for all our toiletries which they took off the floor & placed on the shelf. Its the thoughtfulness and added attention to detail which made our stay extra special. Our hosts were friendly, warm and inviting. They got our room ready early for us after having to catch the early ferry to the island. Couldn’t recommend this beautiful suite more and I am fussy (according to my husband!).

    I didn’t get to spend longer there!

    A very picturesque location overlooking the river, a gorgeous room, especially beautiful lighting used, easy parking, a super cute resident dog and a fantastic degustation dinner in the restaurant Samphire. Not to mention the breakfast included with incredible homemade jams and marmalade! Despite the power going out for an hour the coffee machine was operational and saved the day!

    Mosquitoes were somehow getting into our room. I'd recommend taking fly spray.

    The room was spacious, had everything we required, and was tastefully decorated. The dining area was welcoming and light filled with an eclectic feel. Breakfast was delicious.Very cute dog greeted us with a stick each morning.

    Absolutely, here's your glowing review for The River Suites Kangaroo Island: --- 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 **A Perfect Stay at The River Suites Kangaroo Island!** Our experience at The River Suites Kangaroo Island was nothing short of fabulous! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a genuine smile. The owner couldn't have been more hospitable, ensuring every detail was perfect for our stay. The room itself was immaculate, modern, and tastefully decorated. It was evident that a lot of thought and care had gone into the presentation. The cleanliness was impeccable, which made our stay incredibly comfortable. One of the highlights of our stay was the fantastic coffee made by the owner. Each morning, we were treated to a delicious cup that set the tone for a wonderful day exploring Kangaroo Island. It’s little touches like this that truly make The River Suites stand out. In short, our time at The River Suites was delightful. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay on Kangaroo Island!

    That we were not staying there longer but if we have the opportunity we will certainly be staying there again

    The breakfast selection was absolutely fantastic, freshly baked croissants, mini blueberry muffins, jam filled pastry, meat and cheese platter, beautiful fresh fruits and on and on, yummy. The newly renovated rooms are gorgeous.
