HECTOR'S ON THE WHARF
Ideally located on the dockside of the river, Goolwa’s Hectors on the Wharf is the perfect place to grab a coffee, dine for lunch, or enjoy an indulgent dinner. With traditional timber flooring, distressed tables, a cray net decoration and chalkboards inside, Hector’s combines the rustic past with a modern charm. Watch boats bobbing in the water and admire pelicans perched on the jetty, all the while enjoying the modern Australian cuisine and fresh seafood. But, what’s more, the popular eatery will now include a kiosk on the eastern side, perfect for the kids to enjoy an ice-cream, bike riders to grab a cool drink, or hungry passers-by to tempt their tummies.

CLARE VALLEY CHEESE AND WINE TOUR
Starting at Cygnets at Auburn to pick up your cheese hamper, the trail requires between three to five hours and takes you on a scenic drive through the region’s varied landscapes. Wines from some the region’s best wineries have been matched to cheeses produced by local artisans for your enjoyment. An appreciation of the fact that both the grapes for the wine and the milk for the cheese have been produced in the same area somehow enhances the enjoyment of indulging in them together.

STEAM EXCHANGE BREWERY
Find the perfect pint at the Steam Exchange Brewery, home of the Encounter Bay Brewing Company. Located in Goolwa’s Railway Goods Shed – which was originally built in 1879 and extensively renovated last year – the brewery offers visitors tastings of boutique beers, and tours of its in-house micro-brewery. Visitors to the Goolwa Wharf precinct can now experience a unique blending of the old with the new: paddlesteamers and steam engines, boat building and brewing.
