    The location was gorgeous with stunning views! The owners were both lovely and incredibly helpful. Highly recommend dinner at Samphire Restaurant attached to the property for a wonderful dining experience.

    This is not a criticism at all. Was looking forward to the degustation menu but restaurant only operates from Wednesday-Sunday.

    Modern, clean and minimalist designs. Friendly dog to keep you company and very attentive host. My son loved the breakfast bar. It was a real hit for my 2 yr old.

    There’s nothing to dislike about The Riverview Suites!

    The rooms were tastefully styled and the view out over American River to Island Beach was stunning. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and the complimentary breakfast complete with freshly baked pastries and coffee was a pleasant surprise. I look forward to visiting again.

    The River Suites are very modern, very clean and very comfortable. The hosts are lovely people, very obliging. The bed was extremely comfortable and the breakfast was excellent.

    We had breakfast and dinner at River Suites. The food was absolutely fabulous and our hosts were lovely. The impression was this is a much loved family business. River Suites was fully booked during our stay but the owners still managed to remember the names of all seven of our family. Impressive!

    The suite was so beautiful and clean. After a restful sleep, waking up to a beautiful view of American River and gum trees from our balcony, we went across to the house for a perfect breakfast and coffee - home made bread and jams, with the owners cooking and serving with a smile made for a friendly, family atmosphere and cosy, trendy vibe. Highly recommend this stay with no hesitation to anyone wanting to feel safe, rested and relaxed in a classy and beautiful setting in KI.
