In the immediate vicinity there is the vineyard and cellar door of an excellent independent small winery Mt Lofty Ranges Vineyard - they are open most weekends and public holidays.
If you have any energy left after tramping up our hill there is a nice walk available by turning right at the top of our road. This takes you along the edge of the state forest - initially bordering grazing land and then through natural scrub where you get views in one direction to Marble Hill and Cherryville - in the other direction right out to the Port River. Kangaroos can often be seen at dusk.
In nearby Lobethal you will find numerous attractions including winery outlets and food and craft stalls at the Heart of the Hills Market.
In 2007 the Lobethal Lights will run from 9 to 31 December with special events until 23 December.
