My husband and I chanced upon the Vine Inn as a result of a 'South Aussie with Cossie' travel…read moreauction. We stayed for three nights in room 13. Our room was very clean and appeared to have been recently updated with a new bathroom, toilet and soft furnishings. The bed was so comfortable I found it quite difficult to rise in the mornings. Being at the back of the Inn proved to be a little noisy at times due to customers leaving the bottle-o at quite a speed and a generator kicking in from time to time. It was hot the afternoon we arrived, fortunately we remembered to pack our bathers and we went for a dip and a spa in the generously furnished and well-kept fenced pool area. Dinner in the bistro the first night was plentiful and delicious. We had the fried cheeses and arancini balls for entree followed by the seafood platter for two, all complimented by the Kellermiester Pinot Gris. Had we realised how large the platter would be we would have reconsidered entree as we were unable to finish it, leaving the chips and salt and pepper squid. Dinner on the second night was still delicious though the chicken in my chicken and prawn larb salad was very dry and I left it aside. The salad was very generous and despite leaving the chicken I still left feeling satisfied. My husband had the heidelberg chicken breast and thoroughly enjoyed it. All-in-all our stay at the Vine Inn was comfortable and enjoyable and I would recommend the Inn as an affordable base-camp for families looking to experience the Barossa Valley.

I had the beef brisket and It was outstanding! A smokey flavour with a rich sauce. They have removed the use of discounts and no longer a salad bar. No real deserts for kids if they want something simple like icecream, and charged me $4 per scoop in a bowl for it. The have a kids play room equipped with TV, Bean bags, electronic games and drawing area. All in all I am impressed and glad that there is a nice place to eat in the northern suburbs however, not sure if many people around the area can afford the higher prices..

However, like a lot of these places there is a bar attached to it, and that is basically what I visited. Honestly, it really isn't all that great, and while there were a couple of nice beers, the atmosphere really didn't grab me. In fact, it felt as if there were some much better places out there that I could get a drink at, and I really only stopped off here to pretty much mark it off as one of the places that I have visited.

Another personal fave when I visit Barossa Valley. The Lyndoch Lavender farm. Not a place where you…read morecan visit all year round, so make sure you check out when is the blooming season. When the flowers are blooming, seriously, even guys will love it. There's a cafe and also a souvenir shop operating here. The staff is always friendly. On the few occasion when we visited when the flowers aren't blooming, we weren't charged for the visit. The shop sells everything that you can think of that's related to lavender, from perfume, to sauce to sweets. Yeah. But seriously don't try the sweets.. it's just weird... The farm itself is not very big, but there are many variety of lavenders around. Be sure to capture some of the most beautiful shots there while you are at Barossa valley. :)

Family owned, the Lavender farm host a unique Lavender Kitchen and I highly recommend sampling every produce here. There are delightful lavender jams, mustards, chutneys, breads and even lavender ice cream! Perfect on a summer day. Being family owned you can tell how much effort, dedication and love goes into each one of their products. It's evident when you take a bite into their lavender bread or any lavender produce. Take home a lavender plants ( there are many here!) or one of their beautiful lavender products. My favourite has got to be the lavender bath crystals. A must visit!

Bowling is an awesome activity, I used to love going during school holidays and for birthday parties, and have been hanging out for ages to go lately! Golden Grove is one of the biggest and oldest bowling centres I've been to around Adelaide, and the place is very open and fun. The lanes are quite easy, have bumpers, are quite well serviced and the technology has been upgrading constantly. There are plenty of balls to choose from, good food, a bar and pro shop. One thing with bowling though, it's not the cheapest.. so take advantage of holiday deals and get a group together. But it's a nice, cool way to spend a few hours in a hot summer.
