Schnithouse – Aston Hills

Family Friendly Eats, Hills

Schnitzel lovers of our fair Adelaide Hills….rejoice!

The stunning Aston Hills development (right smack bang in the middle of the Gather Round footy venue up at Barker) has opened a huge shopping centre (headlined by a very flash Drakes) and is now complimented by a fabulous family friendly place to take the kids for a huge feed.

Schnithouse has venues all around Adelaide (we may be pretty fond already of their fare in case you wondered) and now with the Aston Hills location, you can enjoy their German delights all around our great city. With beers the size of a small sedan, plus a gorgeous outdoor area overlooking farmland, it is a picturesque spot with spot on food to match.

Ordering your feed is a bit different here, with your table issued a small tablet to scroll through and pick your food and drinks. We found it very easy to use and better than the QR table code that you come across at other venues. Service was brilliant, even though we attended during a flat out period just after opening, but the staff did not miss a beat.

Now if you aren’t a huge shnitty fan, don’t worry because the menu is actually very diverse and with a range of burgers, steaks, wings, pastas and salads, there will surely be something to take everyone’s fancy.

Kids get 6 options in their Little Schnitters range (a missed opportunity to name it “little schnits” but maybe they will take on our suggestion!) with a decent sized meal, the usual pub fare on offer here, plus a drink and an ice cream to wash it down. If your kids are like ours and will only eat nuggets, rest assured they will be looked after.

Schnitzel lovers genuinely won’t go wrong with anything from this menu, although the Protein option was bloody delicious.

Now onto the important details. The food challenges. Man Vs Schnit and Man Vs Wings are two fights we feel destined to have and we will report our results here in due course. Until then, a 20 odd minute drive up the freeway is all that stands in the way of you and one of the best schnitzels in town!

  • Another brilliant project from the folks at TrailScapes (think Goolwa Pump Track and Angaston Mountain Bike Loop) the Aston Hills Adventure Trail Park is essentially a mountain bike playground in the middle of the new housing development of Aston Hills in Mount Barker. According to the TrailScape website "The Mountain Bike facility comprises of a descending Flow trail that incorporates timber features, berms, rollers and can be “sessioned” over and over again by climbing back up via a picturesque path weaving through giant gums. There is a pump track (like a BMX track, where the aim is to “pump” to gain momentum around the track rather than pedal), and a fun skills park where you can improve your balance skills on the timber boardwalks. The facility was designed to respect and fit its environment and cater for a wide range of users." If your little mountain bikers are a bit put off by the big hills (which to be fair are very reasonable for all ages), make sure you check out the pump track and skills track at the bottom of the trail. Designed for learner riders to hone their skills, this is where this 38 year old Dad with…

  • Cleland Wildlife Park is home to some of Australia's most iconic animals. You'll find kangaroos, koalas, echidnas, wombats, dingoes, many species of birds and reptiles and more. There are very few animal enclosures at Cleland. Most animals live in natural habitat and you can get up close for great photos. The animals are fully adapted to the park setting and accustomed to people, meaning you can pat and feed them. It's more than just looking at animals. You can do a range of experiences including an echindna experience, private koala feed, reptile experiences and birthday parties. And the animals at the park are used to being patted so they will be happy to see you! You can get up close and personal with the koalas and join a guided tours or animal presentation. Cleland is also home to South Australia’s only Butterfly Enclosure and guided tours are available Tuesday - Saturday. Walk amongst and interact with many species of colourful and spectacular butterflies. Learn all about their fascinating life cycle, the importance of butterflies in our environment and how you can attract butterflies to your own gardens. It's so close to Adelaide (less than 20 minutes from the city centre.)…
