ADELAIDE HILLS
OLD IS NEW
THE Adelaide Hills are dotted with old country pubs that have been refurbed; one of the best is the Uraidla Hotel, furnished in a country/rustic chic style – with a bakery, brewery and café added next door.

The burned timbers are visible with the ceiling structure exposed. As per the fashion of the 1930s, the front foyer entrance was renovated in the Art Deco style – and that vibe remains.

Opening hours are 11am-midnight daily with lunch served from noon to 2.30pm and dinner from 6-8.30pm.
