Super friendly. The service has always been good when I've been there, quick, attentive and understanding esp. when there are kids around. The owner/head chef does catering too and although i couldn't be there she catered one of my good friend's weddings this January just gone and by all reports the food was amazing. It's nestled in on the corner of a well designed hills complex next to a newsagents, a great local butcher, a chemist, and a foodland supermarket. Super convenient for the locals. Not to mention it's tucked behind the Balhannah pub and bottle shop so you can always grab a cheeky drop of plonk if you're heading home to unwind after a day out with the younguns! There used to be a great little homewares shop a stone's throw away called Balhannah by Design in the same complex but it has recently moved down the road into a newly established complex next to Mitre10. It's now called Living by Design and is also well worth checking out. Olive Branch. A great way to spend a morning, kids or not!

So I may be biased as a former employee (about 3 years ago) of The Olive Branch but this place is…read moregreat! Owner and head chef, Nicole is an absolute delight who brings a real passion for food and hills produce to the small town of Balhannah. The menu hasn't changed drastically for about the past four years but there's a good reason for that- it's all delicious and there's something on there for whatever mood you're in! There are also always specials up on the board and I believe the dinner menu does have a little variation from week to week. The other great thing is the all day breakfast because going out for breakfast is one of those great pleasures that we don't always want to wake up early for! My top picks would have to include the club sandwich- a classic, the lamb wrap, the chicken tandoori wrap and the chips. I don't know how but these girls have the ability to make basic food so delicious. Curries, salads and an array of delicious foods feature regularly on the specials boards. There's always a delicious range of cakes and treats in the fridge- all made on site and all of which match fantastically with their amazing hot chocolates (with real chocolate!) The menu features gluten free and child friendly options while there's also a small kids play area inside as well. If you're driving through on a weekend in the hills, I would highly recommend stopping in for a local wine and some tasty treats- there's a delectable tasting plate on the menu- perfect for visitors to the region!

Another delightful country pub.

Not only that, but the bistro has an outdoor deck too. Also, the beer garden was done up quite well, so that it didn't look like one of those back yards with a few benches thrown into it. Yeah, it was really quite pleasant.

The wine is top-notch. We started with a few bottles of the chardonnay, cos why not?! Refreshing, zingy with a little wooded flair but nothing like the chardys of old (think Kath and Kim. Blurgh! - nothing like that thankfully!). The pinot noir, while not always my favourite as it is a light bodied red was also delicious - complex and fruity but still quite light. We were spoilt for food on this glorious day as the guys from Africola had come up the hill to roast some treats on the open flame. Fantastic stuff. They had a coffee cart and beers from Prancing Pony also worth a look but we were there for the vino and we had a great time. I hope others get to enjoy the magnificence that is Murdoch Hill in the years to come because this little SA secret is sure to not remain that way for very long. Keep an eye out when Winter Reds 2017 is approaching in May/June next year and pop it in your calendar!
