If you are heading further down the south coast, going for a blissful drive through the Hindmarsh Tiers or a ramble around the Myponga Reservoir your first stop should be for a coffee and breakfast at Valley of Yore – coffee and concept store. This welcoming space is housed inside the old cheese factory. Holly and Nigel have maintained the wall patina and exposed ceilings and floors. Highlighted with a cute loft to dine in and some clever styling. The delicious coffee is roasted by our Port Elliot buddies – DeGroot Coffee. There are cabinets and countertops of tempting croissants, cakes
and delicious pastries to fill your bellies. Valley of Yore oozes of sentiment, values and community and should not be missed.

The folks at Ogre Brewing are committed to the artistry of crafting beer. The Ogre Brewing blends tradition, creativity and boldness which match any of the great brews on the Fleurieu. Their traditional methods are inspired by their roots in Ogre, Latvia. The hospitality, vibe and food menu will keep this business in the ‘must go to’ itinerary of visitor and locals alike.  I mean where else can you get a pork and black pudding picnic pie with beer mustard?

The reservoir park has been increasing in popularity since it has been opened as a recreation park. The trail follows the edge of the reservoir taking you through open plains, forested area’s and native vegetation, with a couple of viewing areas along the way. Further developments include recreational fishing! Make sure you grab a permit and are in the shore-based fishing zones. It is an angler’s delight with thousands of Murray cod fingerlings, silver and golden perch released early Feb 2020. There is talk of yearling trout stocking sometime in the near future. Grab a permit and cast a line.
