Pinkerton Hill is the largest of 4 properties run by the group Naracoorte cottages. The other three…read moreare central to the Naracoorte township and Pinkerton sits just on the outer edge of the town. Convenient to the Coonawarra and Penola wine regions this is a wonderful spot for a rural getaway. Pinkerton can cater for up to 9 people, across 5 bedrooms with two bathrooms and three toilets. This is the only self catering cottage I've stayed in where you get a complimentary bottle of wine and full breakfast provisions! ... I don't just mean a box of cereal, although that is provided, you also get eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, fruit juice, bread and spreads, Beerenberg jams, tea, coffee and milk. The American style dripulator coffee is delicious and fortifys you well for a long day of wine tasting! I have stayed in so many houses like this that have virtually nothing provided, so if you want to cook for yourself you'll have to go and buy salt and pepper. Pinkerton is the opposite of this, and what a joy it is! If you read the visitors book, you will see that the place has even hosted the likes of Ricky-Lee Coulter. The furnishings are comfortable and provide plenty of living space... the photos on the website are a little out of date and the space is actually more stylish than they portray. There is even room to get away from each other if you need to. Beds are comfy and there is heating and cooling throughout. Great to use as a base to explore the area!

Yep, this is one of those basic Woolworths pubs that you tend to find pretty much everywhere (well,…read moresort of). Yeah, as a pub, it really wasn't all that flash, and like a lot of these pubs, they pretty much have the same, limited, selection of beers on tap. Honestly, it really isn't a place that I'd make much of an effort to visit a second time, particularly since there does happen to be better pubs near by.

I once ate the majority of a steak that was bigger than my head here (nb - I have quite a large…read morehead, not one of those disproportionately small freaky pin heads). It was great! I get the feeling that the Bushmans is a real family joint, their restaurant caters for kids and they finish up dining relatively early, in true country style. Everything seems to come with a jacket potato wrapped in alfoil (or is that just me?), not that I mind! It totally reminds me of my mums cooking, and what cold hearted person wouldn't love their own mum's cooking. They seem to do a lot of functions, birthday parties and the like. One thing I would say about eating out in Naracoorte on the weekend is that Everyone in town does, so make sure you book, or you may be going hungry!

The rooms are great, bathrooms all new and the accomodation is extremely comfortable. The restaurant takes this place to another level and the service is wonderful. Fantastic young family business deserving of the success it will clearly achieve.

However, as a pub it is reasonably quiet, which is something that I do like, and it certainly does carry some charm about it as well. Sure, it may not be a favourite, but it is still rather nice.

If you're in Naracoorte town centre after 10pm at night you simply can't avoid seeing and hearing the Kincraig... well, at least the attachment which is ambitiously labelled 'cocktail bar'. Please note - THIS IS NOT A COCKTAIL BAR!! For Adelaide folk - maybe think Shotz crossed with Swish. This is where you come to get really, really maggot on bacardi breezers and pick up. I think they run a video jukebox here too - or maybe it's pre selected? There's quite a big, sticky, grimey dancefloor and you'll have to smoosh yourself against a wall of people to get to the bar. My favourite part about this place when I was in my early twenties (you know - last year, ha) was the voyueristic people watching potential. It was great to see the locals in action and I quite fancied I might one day catch a country lad and don and akubra myself.
