About the host
Hosted by April Jenkins
I live in Adelaide but have had the pleasure in visiting Kangaroo Island for the past 15 years. I love my family, keeping active and travel. I look forward to sharing the beautiful experience of Kangaroo Island for those choosing to visit.
Why they chose this property
This block of land has been in our family for 15 years, and it holds a lot of special memories. For many of those years, we camped here, soaking in the peaceful island atmosphere, enjoying the local fishing, and exploring the nearby attractions. My dad, a builder by trade, and I worked together to design and build the home just four years ago. It’s been a long, thoughtful journey, but I’m incredibly proud of the finished product and the quality we achieved. The home was designed to showcase the stunning views, welcome in natural light, and offer a safe, accessible space for everyone. I’ve truly loved my time in American River, and I hope it becomes a place where you can make just as many meaningful memories.
