WE COME BACK”
The hotel is super on all points especially the kindness of the staff, the food prepared by the chef and of course all that goodness offered on the beautiful Kangaroo Island. See you in November with another group

Comfortable and relaxing”
The hotel has a guest house feel which is very pleasant. Comfortable rather than over luxurious - has everything that most travellers would want and need. Very quiet location (although we were there in Winter so may be different in Summer. You do need a car however as the hotel is a fair distance from other attractions - in fact the island is big so we would recommend either having an overall tour package or hiring a car for the duration of your stay. Altogether a very pleasant stay on Kangaroo Island.

remote and simple comfort”
We had a nice stay at Mercure. The room was clean and well kept although did not have a bath which for the price was disappointing. The counter staff was a Scottish girl who helped us even though she was not on duty and was delightful. The meal was simple but no problems. The sauna was hot and good. The walls between rooms are paper thin so pray for nice 'neighbours' - luckily lots of old people come here so everyone sleeps early. Check out is 10am! - very early. Beds were comfortable and furniture all good. Carpet was clean. The balcony overlooked the sea and was beautiful.

Lovely location”
Lovely stay at the Mercure. Great for the kids, right across the road from a calm beach, pelican feeding and other wildlife too, torches provided for night walks to see the animals, shame about the rain! Good food in the restaurant and tasty breakfast buffet including some local produce. Staff lovely too.

Not what we expected”
We did not realise that American River had so few tourist facilities. We didn't eat in the hotel as the vegetarian options were very limited and not to our taste. On Friday afternoon, the only cafés in American River were closed and the only store in the place had closed down.

Hi Mavis, Thank you for your review. American River is located in a quieter part of Kangaroo Island but that's also our charm. We allow our guests to get away from it all. We do have a number of vegetarian options at the hotels restaurant, Reflections, however if they were not sufficient, we would have been more than happy to accommodate your needs and offer an alternative. Unfortunately sometimes places if interest on Kangaroo Island are closed. They are run by families and occasionally other commitments arise forcing them to close early. The General Store in American River is now open again with new management which we are very excited about. Thanks again for your review Mavis. Kind regards Amy (Business Development Manager)
Perfect spot”

Hi Warren, Thank you for your review. Our Superior Queen Poolview rooms were refurbished in 2014 and have had touch ups done since then. We are an historic building, being the first guesthouse built on Kangaroo Island. Our pool area will be receiving an update this winter with new paint. We apologise your TV did not work as expected and hope this was reported to reception so we can fix it. There are actually several other places to eat in American River including restaurants at other hotels and cafes for lunch on the American River wharf. For any enquiries about the area, our reception staff are well versed in what the area has to offer and can provide recommendations. Thanks again for your review Warren, we appreciate you taking the time. Kind regards Amy (Business Development Manager)

Needed more clean”
Our room was not same as we ordered and we found many dead insect there. They came and cleaned up immediately but we were not happy... A staff helped nicely but he could not get another room coz all booked out. The lodge was very old and facilities need to maintain. I was not sure the sauna and shower room next that when they cleaned... The restaurant was very nice and delicious, so we were little bit disappointed.

Alright hotel, a little tired”
This was a decent hotel. The room is a little tired and could use a little updating, but given the remoteness, big city expectations are probably not appropriate. Good location and cheap happy hour.

Attractive and relaxing place on Kangaroo Island”
The staff made us very welcome and the room was clean. The water pressure however was low and hot water took a minute or two to arrive, so better turn on the water before undressing. The mattress springs were a bit close to the surface as well. The restaurant was easily as good as in the best KI resorts so that was a real plus.

Basic decor, but everything works well and the pool is great”
We stayed here for two nights. It is a bit out of the way (6 miles off the main road), but the local area is worth a quick tour. The hotel decor is quite dated, but everything worked (especially the air conditioning) and the outdoor pool is great!

Hi Ronald, Thank you for your review. We are located in a quieter part of Kangaroo Island but that's also our charm. It's a great way to get away from it all. We are an historic hotel, being the first guesthouse on Kangaroo Island and maintain a real "Lodge" feel. The Mercure Kangaroo Island Lodge is continually receiving soft refurbishments and keep our facilities as up to date as possible. Glad you enjoyed the pool! Thanks again for your review Ronald. Kind regards Amy (Business Development Manager)
Pretty spot at American River”
We enjoyed very good service with a comfy king bed and expansive views of the sea. The hot breakfast was great with perfect poached eggs! Ensuites are small with tight toilet space.
