Ros and Chris have been in the business for years and it so shows – lovely to stay at a B&B where the client really does come first. Rooms are a bit dated but with a nice view over the American River itself. Cooked breakfast is sumptuous, with a promotion on the fresh local produce. The hosts are extremely knowledgeable... More

We only stayed here one night, and we were the only guests as we were at the tail end of the season. Our room was lovely - very light and airy, spotlessly clean, and with views across the beautiful bay of American River, through trees bursting with birdlife (including the black glossy). The owners were extremely welcoming and attentive, without... More

My wife and I stayed here in October 2011 for two nights as a part of our honeymoon in Australia and Fiji. It is truly a lovely place, which we would highly recommend to all visitors of Kangaroo Island. Chris and his wife are very very kind, nothing is too much trouble but, if you value privacy, this too is... More

We enjoyed Chris and Ros' hospitality for three nights in September. The rooms at Wanderers' all have a view down to the water filtered through the tree tops, the early morning and evening light is beautiful and the silence ( apart from bird song) is relaxing. The rooms are well appointed, a comfortable bed, flat screen TV table and chairs... More

The Wanders' Rest affords great viewing of the endangered Glossy Black Cockatoos at treetop level. Ros and Chris are wonderful hosts, attending to every need, and preparing delicious, simple meals accompanied by excellent local wines. The rooms are cozy and private, with balconies that overlook the American River and offer good birding. Overall, a great place to stay while touring... More

Ros and Chris were so wonderful and kind. Both nights they seated me with another single traveler for dinner which was so thoughtful of them and I had a lovely time. The rooms were spectacular with an amazing view of the American River. The food at the B&B each evening was flavorful and tasty. All was reasonably priced as well.... More

My parents visiting from the UK and my partner and I spent 3 nights at this hotel at the start of 2010. The rooms were clean and neat, and offered everything you would need, including a strong hot shower. The owners were incredibly hospitable and the food in the restaurant was of exceptional quality. The location was perfect to explore... More

Chris and Ros (current owners) were fantastic, providing outstanding service and consideration. Fantastic food! Dinners were superb, with a strong emphasis on extremely fresh, local KI ingredients. Nice views of American River//Eastern Cove, with scenic and wildlife walks. Large, comfortable room with deck.
