I took my car in to get a dash light fixed and they said they also do car engine services, oil change and the like. So I drove my car in for a service one morning, went to work, came back after work and drove home. When you work in the city, they make getting the car serviced easy.

Firstly, let me say I have never been made to feel so welcome at any restaurant as I was by the hostess at Bombora. It was a cold, windy, winters day when we first went there and she cheerfully invited us in and sat us down with perfect views of the ocean through the big windows. We were holidaying some distance away at Victor Harbor and towards the end of the holiday we discovered Bombora and from then on we drove there every day for afternoon tea. My wife said the apple cake was the best she had ever had and the brazil nut cake was my favourite. We asked the hostess where she bought the cakes from, thinking we would get some to take back home with us. She said she baked them herself! Multi-talented for sure. Their wine menu includes wine from France that I had never heard of before. We found it very relaxing sipping French wine while watching the surfers. When I got back home and Googled the word Bombora I discovered it is a surfing term, very appropriate. A few days ago we went back to Bombora with some friends and we all totally enjoyed the food, wine and views.

We have been buying food from Botanic Chickens for nearly two decades. The ownership changes occasionally but the food is always great. If someone in the family says "let's have some ***** (= the local nickname for Botanic Chickens) tonight," there is a loud cheer all round.
