About us

Island Coastal Units on Kangaroo Island opened in late 2003.

Originally, the site was location for the local school at American River, complete with bomb shelter! A house was later constructed on the site. From 1993 professional fisherman Dave used this as his base. The location was idyllic, with large shady trees surrounding the house and wide views to the sea. The close proximity to the wharf and boat ramp was a fisherman’s dream. The sheltered waters offered fishing on most days with catches of King George Whiting, Garfish, Squid and many other varieties.

Dave and Jeannie enjoy the peaceful, community friendly lifestyle of Kangaroo Island and American River, with central access to the beautiful beaches and countryside that makes Kangaroo Island a unique and unspoilt adventure paradise.

With a wealth of 30 years professional fishing expertise, Dave is happy to share his tips with guests. If you are looking for a holiday that offers relaxation, bush walks, bird watching and wildlife experiences, then American River on Kangaroo Island will suit you.
