Wanderers Rest B&B

American River sits in an idyllic position on Kangaroo Island. On one side is bush and on the other is the sea. The people here seem to value their tranquillity and lifestyle and it is easy to see why. There is a 90 minute bush walk that takes you along the water to the site of the old fish canning factory. Not far from the town and nestled in the bush is the Wanderers Rest. This guesthouse is in the tradition of country Inns with room for just 18 guests at a time. "I think I see why people like coming here. It is so peaceful and you can enjoy doing nothing." Each of the guest rooms has a view of the gardens and the ocean and there is a central dining room where a cooked breakfast is served every morning. In the evening the room becomes a dining room with an al-a-carte menu. A stay at the Wanderers Rest starts at $150 per double including breakfast and Margaret can organise transfers by air or sea from Adelaide. In addition there is a hire car service available and tours can be booked. Don't forget to ask about wildlife walks to see wallabies, echidnas, fairy penguins and a colony of rare glossy black cockatoos.
