Sunset dinners are available Oct through Dec, or a relaxing Sunday breakfast / brunch. We enjoyed a pancake, with Quandong ice cream and Quandong sauce, finishing with a very nice cheese and fruit platter, enjoying the views along with the air conditioning. The cafe is of a modern design with exposed tubular steel arch supports, the floor is concrete inlayed with small stones, walls of wood and ply. Tables wooden with chrome supports, the dining chairs are black with chrome legs. The colour scheme of the Cafe is earthy, with some light bottle green walls. The building is designed to maximise views, of the gardens and the magnificent back drop of the Flinders ranges, while you relax and enjoy your desired food preference. The gardens are festooned with plants and shrubs, this time of the year many in bloom, most travellers would be unaware of the existence of many of these species. Great to view Sturts Desert Wild Pea in flower, the tracks are well signed, along with every plant and shrub which number in their hundreds. The back drop to the gardens are the Flinders Ranges beckoning you to drive over. A very memorable, relaxing visit.

You will have someone to talk to here as the staff are more then up for a good chat. Atmosphere is superb. Recommend for breakfast, lunch dinner and small functions also. Wheelchair access is available, toilet facilities may be a problem for some.

It's truly a shame when change for the worse comes to a favourite dining establishment and this is…read moredefinitely the case with the new management of the Watersedge Restaurant. The wine and beer selection has changed from one of the best in the region to standard pub fare. The meals, while still varied, were nothing spectacular (as they almost always used to be) and in fact ours was missing a major component (full disclosure, we were offered a round of drinks as recompense). I'm hopeful that things will improve and that this is only a temporary stumble but based on the first impression we'll probably wait for the menu to cycle before we try again.

The more 'upmarket' and tourist oriented pub in town, the North Star has a real funky interior and…read moreoffers a great atmosphere to patrons. With a funky outback theme you definitely feel like you're outside of the city in this awesome pub and the menu certainly matches with many kangaroo options included - even roo schnitzels are available! The prices are really reasonable - for both food and drink and the staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating - we were there on a busy long weekend and they went out of their way to make sure that we had a table. I ordered the King of The Mount Kangaroo Schnitzel with beetroot, salsa, cheese and pieces of lamb (crazy!) but delicious! I also sampled some of their yummy steak and a taste of the fiery spicy snitty! Almost a perfect score, if only the offerings in the salad bar had been a little nicer - and maybe a little more broad!

The hotel was lovely and in an old building (which I love) and well maintained. We opted for the budget accom which included shared bathroom and toilets, which was no problems at all. It had everything we needed and was clean. There was a nice dog hanging around, who was friendly and quiet. Not too sure if he belonged to anyone or the hotel. In all, I would stay again if I can back to the area. Thanks
