Thinking of an Adelaide Hills adventure these school holidays? 🌿

Book a table at The Bridgewater Inn for lunch, or settle in for their all-day dining menu from 2pm. Creekside tables, umbrellas, heaters and an all-weather pavilion mean you can cross your fingers for sunshine… but you’re covered if Adelaide decides otherwise.

The food is brilliant and well priced, the kids’ options are genuinely great and the setting is nothing short of dreamy. We spotted fluffy baby ducklings, the kids can have a little creekside explore, there’s loads of room to move and Bridgewater Playground is just a short stroll away.

Basically, lunch + fresh Hills air + happy kids. We’ll take it.
