Origin Coffee Bar – coffee and a free indoor playground – Review 2013
The Origin Coffee Bar is an initiative by the Victory Church in Pooraka. It’s not specifically a play cafe as such, it’s more like a cafe with a children’s indoor playground attached.
And unlike a play cafe, the play area is a separate room […]
A Winter Weekend in Hahndorf
Hahndorf, Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement, is one of my family’s favourite places to visit at any time of the year.
In summer it’s always cooler than the city, in autumn the colours are breathtaking, in spring everything is so fresh and in winter it’s so inviting to find a warm cosy spot to enjoy a […]
Yankalilla & Normanville – Places to Eat for Families
One of the great things about Normanville & Yankalilla is that there are many great options for food.
If you want a night off (or three) from cooking (why not when you’re on holidays?) you can check out these places we’ve tried over the years.
The Peninsular Restaurant & […]
Henley Beach
Henley Beach is one of our favourite places to visit, especially during summer.
On a hot day we usually aim to get there around 5.30pm or later to avoid the burning sun and to take advantage of the warmer water, which has had time during the day to heat up. The waters at Henley are […]
Exploring Waterfall Gully & Breakfast at Utopia Restaurant
Just ten minutes east of the city, along a winding road through the Adelaide foothills, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the stunning natural landscape of Waterfall Gully.
Located in Cleland Conservation Park, Waterfall Gully is home to the impressive First Falls, an 18 metre waterfall that flows all year round. Equally stunning in […]
When it’s a hot day and you’ve been hanging out at home all day, sometimes things get a bit stir crazy by the afternoon. Especially if you have kids like mine who like to be out and about or just outside. Sometimes this calls for a little ice cream outing.
You could go to an […]
The Belair Hotel is spacious and inviting with a modern stylish design. There is plenty of room for families either in the dining area or on the communal tables, with also a lounge area to relax in. The wall of glass along the dining room looks out with views of the Adelaide Hills. A gorgeous large […]

Bracegirdle’s House of Fine Chocolate is one of our favourite cafes to visit for a chocolatey treat. You could take the kids there as a holiday treat, a reward for doing something great or perhaps for a Birthday treat on a non-party year…or just because!
If your kids like lollies and they like chocolate, they will […]
Mount Lofty Summit Lookout, Restaurant, Cafe & Visitor Centre
There are so many places that I love to visit around Adelaide, but Mount Lofty Summit would have to be one of the most special.
Only 15km from the city and you’re well into the Adelaide Hills, just a short drive up the South Eastern Freeway. Part of Cleland Conservation Park, […]
Thanks to a handy resource online – Great Food Great Value – it’s easy to find a family friendly venue and enjoy a meal you haven’t had to prepare yourself at home in the kitchen! Catching up with extended family, good friends or a school social group is a lot easier in a venue that welcomes […]
IKEA Playland & Restaurant Adelaide Review 2012
IKEA are one of the rare ‘family friendly’ shopping venues that really do try to make visiting IKEA fun for children and grown ups alike.
Starting with the car park you will see special ‘pram friendly’ car parks located very close to the entrance of the store. As you come through the revolving […]
Adelaide Central Market Weekend Breakfast Outing
Going to the Adelaide Central Market for breakfast on a Saturday morning is a great family outing.
Our favourite breakfast spot is Zuma Caffe, located on Gouger Street near the car park entrance. The cafe itself is not very big so you are best to find a table inside the markets. Once […]
