Excellent! What a lovely surprise. Intimate setting in conjunction with the artists studio/gallery…read more Very clean, very refined with bone china for the tea, awesome view and lovely ambiance. Sunday late afternoon we had two devonshire teas with meltingly delicious home made scones and homemade jam,also with the cakes of our choice which were moist and delicate homemade cupcakes. My guest had a gourmet tea, also locally blended and I had a very good skinny latte. Not at all pretentious, very friendly and what a great place to go for a little interlude and so way above a generic bustling coffee shop. I am going back on 28/2 for an evening degustation .

This pub was a little hit and miss. When I first popped into Lobethal it was closed, though that…read morewas probably because it was Christmas. However, when I managed to get back, it had opened up again. It felt somewhat older than many of the other pubs in the area, which I have to admit was pretty cool, and there was a nice verandah out the front where one could sit, though I have to admit that the foot traffic isn't particularly huge. Still, as a place for a beer it isn't too bad, even though the beer selection isn't particularly huge.

The Rising Sun Hotel is a rather small hotel in Lobethal at the top of the Main Road. The hotel is…read morerather dated looking inside and out. There is a small dining area that had plastic table clothes with plastic chairs. The bar area was very narrow all round with seating on stools only. So...with a genuinely tired looking pub what makes it good..... well that would be the prices! $5 for all aussie pints and $6 for all imperial is an excellent offer. Also on offer is a range of different shots such as Jager Bombs, Jam Donuts and Skittle Bombs...which is a little strange for country hotel. Unfortunately we never got to eat here as we went on Pageant day and didn't think i would have to book - turns out i was wrong so the limited dining area filled very quickly. However the food i witnessed look going to people looks to be good serves of everything and i will be head back one day to try! When i get to try the food it may up the stars...but for a place to drink there is better available in Lobethal if you dont mind paying a little more!

Hubby and I stayed here for my birthday weekend in a king spa balcony room. It was amazing! So…read moreclean, comfortable and modern on the inside, whilst quaint, quirky, rustic and warm on the outside. Beautiful hand carved wooden furniture all over the property, original artworks on the walls, several local antique items decorating the outdoors, excellent black out curtains to allow for a good sleep-in, quiet location, hospitable staff who catered to our every need and who went above and beyond with a smile. The attention to detail was astounding, as were the additions. Soft close drawers/cupboards/bins, make up remover towels, extendable magnifying mirror on the bathroom wall, great coffee machine. The bed was very comfortable. Air con/heating is very efficient. Huge smart tv facing the bed. Everything you will need is here. Well stocked kitchenette. I cannot fault this place and will be recommending to all my travelling friends. It's gorgeous, and cute... still, the rooms are spacious. 10/10!

"Amazing - Above & Beyond!"…read more WOW, this was amazing, absolutely above and beyond anything we had imagined! We arrived at the cottage with trepidation (as we have had bad experiences in the past) Form the outside OK but oh boy wait till you get inside! The cottage was beautiful, rooms delightful, beds so comfy could have stayed there all day, furnishings beautiful. Bathroom, only one but again spacious fantastic large shower, underfloor heating and the range and amount of toiletries and towels etc amazing definetly above and beyond any thing we have ever experienced. And then the kitchen, the food for breakfast was awesome, as well as fruit, chocolates and wine again above and beyond! The lounge with the beautiful fire and the amazing magazines. I have run out of words I need more stars, 5 don't do this justice! The town itself is pretty cool, go down for a walk by the river! We thought being out of the Barossa might be too far but it was fine. I would like to keep this cottage a secret because once this gets out it will be booked for months in advance!

The best way to describe this place is as your rather typical country pub. Yet despite the limited…read morechoice in beers, there is still something about this place that I did quite appreciate. I guess the rather relaxed country charm had something to do with it, even though this place really isn't one of those tourist havens. I guess the relaxed nature of the place really did warm me up somewhat.

As our first choice didn't pan out, we trooped into this country pub tired and hungry expecting…read moremediocrity. The patrons looked a tad 'rough'. The interior and soft furnishings has seen better days. Everything looked dated and tired. The poor lighting doesn't help either. Mind your step if you are heading to their cosy dining space. It was occupied by a group of 8 people. A slow lunch it seems in the middle of the lunch trade. After deciding from the menu and Specials Board, we trooped to the bar to place our orders for drinks and food. Food came out in a timely manner, and was all served together - kudos to the kitchen for getting this small, but important point right. A couple of people had the garlic prawns, I chose the Kassler plate. Other dishes included a vegetarian lasagne and schnitzels. Presentation was rather old-fashioned, but that's okay, as long as the food quality is there. And....it was! Everyone praised their meals. The portion size was just right, some on the generous side like mine. Having said that, I had one issue, which was how salty my meal was. The horseradish and sauerkraut did little to balance. I did drink a fair bit of water while eating my meal. For what it is, I think it pumps out decent pub fare. Happy to stop in again if I ever come this way.
