Food scene

Such a warm and beautiful interior. The staff are welcoming and friendly, the drinks menu is vast and the menu options are plenty. It's a really nice experience to dine out for Indian cuisine and be able to be adventurous with your choices rather than your normal choices and that adventure pays off with delicious well-sized meals. Excellent service, delicious food, good vegetarian options.

Seed is modern, sophisticated, and industrial chic. We rocked up without a booking but were lucky enough to score a table on the rooftop. Their cocktail menu and gin selection satisfied our thirsts, whilst their pizza and snack offerings sorted out our taste buds. Lovely new venue, the service is exceptional and the woodfired pizza is absolutely perfect.

Excellent set up with great tracks, bridges, and a tunnel surrounded by lovely gardens. Wonderful volunteers who make the rides fun for the kids young and old. Absolutely great fun for the family. Really friendly, with plenty of trains and a decent-sized track.

Definitely one of the nicer info & tourism visitors centre we’ve visited in SA. Offer art, food & drinks, and even tastings. Staff are helpful but we came in a peak time so felt a little rushed off. Post cards and souvenirs need a revamp to match the rest of the contents in the centre.

The place looks really good. An excellent place to take the kids to. Follow them on Facebook to get all the times they're open. Such a wonderful little place. All the beautiful craftsmenship that has gone into creating a genuine + authentic replica of the old railways and trains are astounding. A must visit if you have children or if you’re adults who simply want a little step back in history. All time given to run + maintain this is donated, so they rely on your generosity to help keep this little gem alive. We will definite come again.

Sports

Great facility for all ages. Friendly, helpful staff who go out of their way to be of assistance. I do water walking and aqua aerobics. I feel safe at the lifestyle centre. Extremely professional and city standard. I look forward to my sessions. There have gym, heated indoor pool. And there have some playing. Clean and tidy well.

Drinks and Nightlife

We enjoyed our wine tasting experience. The place was lovely and staff was also friendly. Did the Riesling Trail ride with friends between Auburn and Clare. We stopped by cafès instead wineries. We went in Mr. Mick as we arrived in Clare in the late afternoon and some cafès are closed. It was fully booked at the indoor dining area. The very friendly staff members managed a table outside near the fireplace for us even we just want snacks and coffee. Foods are very good too! If you like wine tasting with good food and great services. You definitely should try Mr. Mick. But make sure you book your table as it looks very busy on the weekend. A beautiful place to visit, hidden in one of the backstreets of Clare. We were hosted by a well knowledged and friendly waitress, she may have been the manager. We decided to try the $44 chef selection with wine pairing. The food was full of flavour and matched perfectly with the wine. The cost of the selection ends up being the same as the a-la-carte prices but it's a good alternative if you want to try their wines without doing tastings at the cellar. Highly recommended.

Fred & Janine the owners were so friendly, the dining room is large, heated and a beautiful setting. Stayed for lunch, the beef & chicken was the best I have had, good prices. Huge bar, pokies rooms, front bar and rooms you can stay in. Plenty of parking. Always great service, kid friendly, food is very good and reasonably priced. Good selection of beer on tap. Always good for a group where kids can play and adults can chat. Situated on the main road, lovely looking place. The hotel was busy for a midweek dinner service. The staff are attentive and did a great job on the floor & servicing the bar. The food was quick to table,

Seed is modern, sophisticated and industrial chic. We rocked up without a booking, but were lucky enough to score a table on the roof top. Their cocktail menu and gin selection satisfied our thirsts, whilst their pizza and snack offerings sorted out our taste buds. Special shout out to the kitchen for taking the time to make their own GF pizza bases. Can't wait to return for dinner downstairs. Sooooo good! This place had just the best coffee, bacon egg bap and peeps serving The review is about the roof top bar. Very chic, great decor. Fantastic staff. Great choice of beers and excellent cocktails. Love the new venue, service was exceptional and the woodfired pizza was absolutely perfect. Can't wait to see the bistro side open up. Well done team.

Enjoyed some great food accompanied by a bottle of 2021 Tim Adam’s Riesling. A gorgeous spot tucked away in the trees along the Riesling Trail. Friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely go back! Staff was absolutely lovely, combined with amazing wine! Definitely recommend! This is a great place to stop along the Riesling trail; loved the Fiano, and the reds; especially the 2018 shiraz; will definitely return.

One of my favourite wines to come of out Adelaide. The Riesling is one of the better to come out of the Clare Valley. The wines are incredible. They’re palatable for the new drinker, but are textural and complex for our friends that knew wines. Can’t forget the amazing labels too! Beautiful wines!

Best experience with Kaden. Incredible wine and best service Love this winery ❤️ Great atmosphere & very nice wines. Staff were friendly & knowledgeable. I can highly recommend Lauren who looked after us. She made us feel very welcome & was more than happy to help us with our wine selections. Well worth a visit, you won’t be disappointed What a gorgeous, welcoming winery. Even served up some complimentary cheese and crackers, the stuff of a bygone era. Loved this place and excellent wine.
