Ideally positioned in American River, a 50 metre stroll to the Oyster Farm shop for all your seafood and around the corner from the cafe and jetty. This place is straight out of the 60's yet has all the amenities you want for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Tony, the owner, is ready to assist with anything you might need and of course he will entice you to KI Tru Thai for a unique dining experience, just 10 minutes away.
