Stopped in here on our wine tasting journey loved the driveway which was lined with trees and then opening up to a fabulous cellar door with gorgeous views of the vineyards and surrounds. We were greeted by a lovely German lady who enjoyed informing us of the history of the vineyard and offering us many wines to taste. Not only do they sell wines they also have some great merchandise as well as jams, dips, oil dressings, chocolates, nuts etc. They had quite a few samples there which we tried with some warmed diced bread pieces which we used for sampling. We purchased a bottle of their "Matchetts's Storm" - absolutely delicious, this is one I recommend. My in-laws joined the Black Sheep Club - you receive wine delivieries twice a year and are invited to special member only events. I believe we spent at least one hour here looking around, talking and tasting. We really enjoyed ourselves and this is one winery I highly recommend you visit, you wont be disappointed.

This review is for Red Poles, McLaren Vale SA

We decided to take my in-laws out for some wine tasting while they where staying with us. After driving past Red Poles many times we thought we should drop in. Then entry from the road isn't great but as you drive down it certainly improves. We tried a few wines and then had a coffee in their cafe whilst looking at the menu. We did not stay for a meal - just the Gnocchi was $30 and from what we could see they were rather small servings. Staff were very friendly, relaxing atmoshere, various places to sit and enjoy yourself, we liked the beer garden and enjoyed our wine tasting and coffee. Probably wont return for a meal.

OMG this cafe has the most delicious unusual desserts ever! I tried this cafe with my husband a couple of friends. When we finally got to the front of the line we ordered a couple of tasting platters because we couldn't decide on what to have. Coffee went well with our desserts. We could really taste the quality and loved the presentation as well as being reasonably priced. Friendly staff and delicious food. The only thing we disliked was waiting nearly 20 minutes in line, but I have to say it was worth it.

This is were I go regularly for the family especially on a hot day after doing my shopping late. We have never been disappointed with the quality of the fish, chips or burgers that we have tried. Always found them to supply fast friendly service. They have fixed the place up a bit, but the parking has not improved, it is difficult to get in and out especially if busy.

My family love going to this pub, it has a real country feel to eat and the owners are such nice friendly people. I went here over the weekend with my husband and in-laws and had a wonderful lunch. One of my favourites is the chicken schnitzel, my husband order the fishermen's basket and said it was great, really enjoyed his fish. Also eaten was the salt and pepper squid and beef schnitzel. All our servings were large with chips and either salad or vegies. The prices have increased since we were last here and you also have to pay an extra $3.00 for the gravy (it is worth the $3).
If you are looking for a cheaper option I suggest you go on sunday - thursday as on these days they have $10 meals. Very friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere and of course clean and tidy. Also pokies if you are into them. Definitely recommend.

Stopped in here for some coffee with family, service was very slow for just "4 coffees" , it wasn't busy, just disappointing. There were 3 girls working and they just seemed to want to talk amongst themselves. We looked over the menu, feeling a bit peckish but decided that if it takes more than 15 minutes to make 4 coffees, we would be better off eating elsewhere. I have to say I did like the look of the menu, but we didn't wish to wait for probably another 30 minutes for our meals.

This review is for Hahndorf Fish & Chips, Hahndorf SA

Whilst on one of our trips into hahndorf (my in-laws love hahndorf for some reason) we decided to try some fish and chips, what I liked about this place is that they have a special stand out the front along the sidewalk under an umbrella stating their whole menu with prices. This made it easier to pick what we wanted before going in. They have a nice eating area outside and fortunately for us it wasn't busy for a saturday. The fish tasted very fresh - reasonable size. My husband and in-laws enjoyed their prawns and calamari, and of course I cannot forget the chips, delicious! A very friendly gentleman served us with a smile. Very clean and tidy establishment. Reasonable prices. Everyone enjoyed their meals and I highly recommend you try the Calamari.

This review is for Natura's Ice Creamery, Hahndorf SA

We stopped in here as a couple of us wanted an ice-cream whilst walking around Hahndorf. Nice ice-creamery with plenty of choice. They also servce hot spuds, kranskys, hot dogs etc. They have a few tables outside, but with so many people walking by I wouldn't feel comfortable sitting their. So if it's a warm day and you are walking around hahdorf try one of their ice-creams or shakes they really are delicious.

Having family over from interestate we decided to have one of our many lunches here. They have a very extensive menu, with aussie meals as well as some german ones like their bratwurst and weisswurst sausages (which my sister-in-law tried). My husband went with the steak and I just felt like a nice burger and chips. I have to say the surf and turf did look good. The staff were friendly, a bit slow with taking our order and receiving it. It was not busy at all, infact there was only one other group of people. But besides that we thoroughly enjoyed our meals.

Currently have family over from Darwin and they wanted to visit Victor Harbor so of course we had to take them here. We really enjoyed the walk over and had a wonderful meal starting with some Mustard Damper, never tried this before - loved it! Also, we decided to have the Seafood Platter for 4 people it came with chips and dipping sauce (it was around $100, but for 4 people we thought that was pretty good value) the oysters and calamari tasted so fresh and delicious, an absolute must. The Greek salad really went well with it. Had a wonderful meal and really enjoyed the view. I felt the meals had improved since the last time we were here. Will be returning when our next lot of family visit.
