Total serenity

We loved our stay here. The view and peacefullness was amazing. Central to many attractions and the tennis/basketball courts and jetty nearby kept the boys occupied. Accommodation was very comfortable and had everything you need. We would definately stay again.

The missing link between good and excellent

We found Stringy Bark at American River to be in an excellent location with great sea views and coastal vistas. It is conveniently located between Kingscote and Penneshaw which made touring around the island easy and all within a comfortable days drive in whichever direction one took. The house is spacious and vey homely ,in fact a bit of an overkill for just two people but that is not a criticism. The amenities and fixtures were more than adequate . The house was clean and well presented. The only criticism would be that internet access for guests was not available. In this day and age the internet is a useful tool not just for entertainment but a means of communicating and researching nearby facilities and other attractions, such as eateries etc. It is not simply a way to keep children entertained. Othewise this rating would have been higher.

Stay at Stringy

Our stay at Stringy Bark was very comfortable, quiet and relaxing. It was lovely to wake up and look out at the birds on the water. House was well stocked with all the necessities required and we loved having a cozy fire in the evening. Some hanging space in 'The Pod' would have been good and some kind of overhead cover between the house and the pod would make it even better as it was quite wet on a couple of the days. Overall though it was a wonderful place to stay, highly recommend.
