Great for hiking, can continue on up to the top of Mt Lofty, which gives great City views & along the whole coastline. There is a cafe & souvenir shop at Mt Lofty, so you can have a stop & treat yourself to a snack/ meal before heading back down. A 2 hour round trip, plus time spent at Mt Lofty. Is a bit of a climb but could just do the walk to the waterfall if time or energy is lacking. Note that the waterfall flow depends on rainfall & time of year.

View the coastline stretching from south to north & locate all the main attractions, like Glenelg, the City etc. Great Cafe/restaurant & gift shop. Free admission. Have a coffee & soak in the views. Well worth a visit.

Originally a historic German settlement. Still has original buildings & holds some German culture in its food options & atmosphere. Good for sightseeing & souvenir shopping. Favorite restaurant is “The Haus”, delicious food at reasonable prices.

Local beach area with many restaurants, food outlets, cafes & a variety of shops, all along Jetty Rd. At the end of which is Glenelg Jetty. Grab an ice cream & go for a stroll. Nice beach with white sands. Boat harbor with nice restaurants along the beach front.

Great beach area further down the coast. Also with a Jetty but also a reef that is great for Snorkling & Scuba diving. More rugged feel than our local suburban beaches. Climb down the cliff stairs to the river outlet, great for swimming.

About an hours drive down south. Take a horse drawn cart along the jetty connecting Granite Island. Walk around the Island & stop for a drink & maybe a snack at the Cafe before returning back. Can be lucky to see whales in season, May- Sept

McLarenvale has numerous excellent wineries. Some offering tapas & some set up as great restaurants. EG Coriele, d’ Arenberg & Maxwells etc etc Boutique wine tasting at its best. Meals with tasteful flair! Even an art gallery in a big way- The Cube. McLarenvale township itself has some worthy eating spots, such as Pizateca, Carmel’s Cafe Bar Grill, Bracegirdles & many more from fine dining to more casual. Whatever your occasion & what ticks your boxes & your taste buds & pockets. Even organize a tour with local knowledge & insights with pick up/drop off. No need for a designated driver! EG Trail Hopper, Little Chooks - have a google for details.

Closer than Mt Lofty. Not quite as high up but with still a compelling view. Easy to access from our place. There is also a restaurant which also has these great views. Great for a special occasion.
