Cudlee Creek Restaurant Tavern and Caravan Park 2121 Gorge Road, Cudlee Creek, South Australia 5232

"I’ve never reviewed a business before but Cudlee Creek Caravan Park is so terrible I felt compelled to leave a review to warn people before they stay there. Where do I start? The parks permanent residents live in absolute squalor. I have no problem with people needing a place to live but I was very surprised at the awful conditions these people were living in, yet somehow the owner allows it. The residents we did have the delight of meeting were either drunk creepy old men or people that were clearly on drugs. Did not feel like a very safe and relaxing place! Furthermore, the bathrooms are very outdated and filthy. There appears to be huge piles of rubbish dumped in the creek, surely done illegally. The caravan park itself is just overall very run down and a creepy place, felt more like a homeless congregation than a caravan park. If you are travelling, particularly alone or with kids, don’t stop there. I can’t say much about the pub side of things as I didn’t go in there but it appears based on the reviews I’ve read that the owner can’t take honest feedback and lives in denial that his caravan park is horrible. The worst caravan park I’ve ever stay at…"

"Popped in for a quick meal and a cold drink after a long day on the Heysen Trail, only 3 people in the bar. Barman didn’t acknowledge us as we walked in, was calling out to get the attention of someone else walking out to see if he wanted another beer. We stood at the bar awkwardly and waited till we got the look and a brisk ‘yep’ from the barman. We asked if food was available and were told that yes they do meals with no offer of a menu, we said we were after something that could be prepared quickly as we’re time poor and asked what the options were. We were told to go to Gorge Wildlife Park instead as ‘that’s for fast food and tourists’. Left and pulled in elsewhere on the way back to Adelaide. It’s a shame as we’d heard the food was delish but we didn’t feel welcome to stay."

"Our Thurs. night, $12 eat all U want, 6-9pm smorgasboard meal was very much appreciated & enjoyed- bookings esential. It was good 2 how well attended, especially by the locals. Building & Caravan park especially, very much in need of major renovation 2 bring them up 2 current standards, especially re disabilities. No current cabins have an ensuite. Location is excellent with lots of potential. Very close 2 the Gorge Wild Life Sanctuary. Easy access & parking."

"I went for lunch with some friends, never eaten here before but the reviews looked good. We were able to sit in their beer garden which was great on the warm sunny day. All four of us ordered their chicken schnitzel but with different toppings and they were all delicious. Karen was very friendly and accommodating."
