Great 4.0

The ventilation after cooking was not ideal, and the water pressure in the bathroom shower was quite weak. The dryer was old and made a loud noise. Parking required using the car park across the street. However, the location was very convenient, close to the Central Market and Chinatown.

Thank you tour guide as well as bus driver, Dave. Dave gave a great explanation along Kangaroo Island. Dave was also the one who drove me and the others to Hahndorf (I just found out his name Dave during this Kangaroo Island Tour). Although the journey from Adelaide center bus station to Cape Jervis is 2 hours and then a 45-minute ferry ride to Kangaroo Island. 👍 Thanks again Dave 👍

Great itinerary for an afternoon trip. You get to explore the little town of Hahndorf, Beerenberg Farm and the Adelaide Hills. Beautiful afternoon worth your time if you've never been yet. Great for first timer in Adelaide or even if you just want to have a lovely afternoon meeting new people :)
