Parkside Hotel
We’re fan-girls of The Parkside for a nice bite or a quick drink anytime, but it’s amazing for a function, too. Getting your mates together or need a venue big enough for your whole work crew?
This place has options galore and caters for up to 100 guests. Choose from their dining room, the main bar or function area — they’re all family friendly — then, order from the party-perfect function menu or pre-book platters for a more casual feel. Add drinks, a great vibe and you’re set.

The uber cute Bob & Olive’s Garden is made for kids’ birthdays and fam-friendly catch-ups all year-round, with an enclosed play area filled with ever-changing toys and activities. And kids can even play pizza chef for the day for just $30 per tot.
Mick O’Shea’s Hotel
Located on the edge of the Fleurieu Peninsula and McLaren Vale, Mick O’Shea’s in Hackham is perfect for every occasion, big or small budgets, lots of guests or a more intimate gathering.
