To Perk Up – Good Bank Gallery

Why not start your morning with some great coffee and some amazing art? That’s what Good Bank Gallery has to offer on McLaren Vale’s Main Rd. What used to be an old bank building has been transformed into a colourful, modern coffee bar and gallery space, by local Surf & Skate brand Daily Grind. With regular exhibitions, it’s a great way to discover new local artists, as they explore the artistic side of their surf and skate roots. A great opportunity to revive yourself physically and mentally…

One of those quaint little Port Elliot shops is Elliot & Me, a ‘one stop shop for a home and wardrobe full of individuality, colour and fun’. With such an exciting collection of Australian labels, there is so much to look at, you won’t be able to walk out without something!
