Not my favourite stay....even on rustic KI
This stay started off terribly after a 5 hour car ride and ferry crossing. There was no one at the property when we arrived to welcome us. (We may have been sent an email with instructions but I must have missed it.) We called the posted cell number and the call was dropped, then drove out to another property 1 km away and finally found someone to help us. The cabin had been left open and the key on the table! GRRR! The cabin was nicely set up. Somewhat comfortable but not like in the photo. The property was tricky to find, hidden off the road. Have everything that you need for your stay here. There is nothing available nearby. And no management to help you out.

A beautiful area, peaceful and relaxing. A variety of places to dine. Shower quite dated and sofa bed not very comfortable . Expedia had incorrect contact details so was difficult to contact Villa to confirm booking, hopefully this is now being rectified.

Terrible service. When we arrived, rang the number to gain access to the cabin, reception told us that the property manager would ring us back with the details. After an hour of waiting we rang again to be told the same thing, still no answer from the manager. The only reason we managed to get access to our cabin was because the cleaner was there getting it ready and she let us in, which is not part of her job. We never received a call from the manager

2/10 Poor

Not where I would return to stay. The reception was hard to find. Couldn't get through their landline , and Kim's mobile was never been answered, just texted back after a while. Not responsive to their customers. We booked two cabins. One wasn't ready while we arrived. One cook stove, one external cooking pan, and outdoor bbq were not working. The facilities are pretty run down. Need a good improvement on both services and facilities.

The room would be good for a family with kids since there are 2 bedrooms, one of them with bunk beds. I dont think it was the room I booked, although I cant even see the one I booked anymore since they don’t take anymore booking at this time. I thought I would get a separate villa, but this one is one of many connected in a building. The facility is old, but well looked after and clean. Master bedroom is pretty small, it was a bit hard to walk on the side of one of the bed. But the view is beautiful because you can see the bay and there are many trees around too. Overall I was happy with my stay except that we had to ask for extra toiletries. They dont clean or restock the room everyday and that’s fine for us but they should have given us extra things since we were staying for 5 nights, but only given things for one night stay. The lady who has been checking us in and giving us more toiletries are very lovely and friendly, but since no reception in the facility, would be better to give extra things at the beginning of stay.

Traditional quiet holiday accommodation
A quiet place to stay a short walk to the waterfront. Large old fashioned unit with plenty of space. Worked well for two people but has the bathroom with ill fitting sliding doors between the two bedrooms which might concern larger groups. Friendly host, no Wifi as yet. American River is very quiet which is fine if that is what you want. Do not believe the brochures about choice of restaurants and cafes! Nice dinner at the local club. Koala in a tree and a seal on the wharf, lots of birds. Cheap for Kangaroo Island.

4 nights on Kangaroo Island
The checkin was made very easy with Danielle. A lot of the photos of the villas cabins were not for Kangaroo Island Coastal Villas. The villas were very small. Very disappointed with the villa as the hoots on the website made it look so much more roomy.

Stayed at the KI Coastal Villas for a few days as a base while I went driving around the island. I was in one of the air conditioned family units, which had a kitchenette with a stove and a full sized fridge. This was handy as there aren't a lot of places that are open after 5.00 in American River most nights, and driving to either Kingscote or Penneshaw for dinner runs the risk of roadkill, so being able to cook for myself was useful. If you're happy to have an early dinner though, there's plenty of options within a 30 minute drive if you don't want to eat at the three or four places in American River. The cabin was small but comfortable. There were two bedrooms, one with a king size bed that took up a lot of the room, and another with a bunk bed. There aren't much in the way of cupboards, but the shelves are enough to store a few days worth of clothes. Bring some coathangers if you want to hang anything up. The main living area had a small round table for four and a couch with a TV above the fridge. There's a small deck with a small table and a couple of chairs if you want to take in the sounds of wildlife. The beach is at the end of the driveway, with a playground, tennis and basketball court, and a 'take-a-book, leave-a-book' library attached to the shelter shed nearby. The boatramp is a five minute walk away with a cafe open 9-5 (try the eggs benny!). Great spot to unwind at and just relax.
