Swagman Chargrill @ Softfoot

Found this beautiful place while camping locally. Had a decent coffee and nice walk around the grounds, pretty birds and a couple of koalas in open enclosures while red kangaroos roam around.

My husband had tried to find somewhere special for a celebratory lunch, and Swagman certainly filled the bill. On a cold drizzly day we sat near a huge wood heater with a wonderful view of the valley below. Everything about our lunch dining experience was first class and the food was just that little bit different but absolutely superb. Will certainly be back again.

Amazing experience with the alpaca safari we had. We took our 6 year old kids there and they loved the entire experience. Starting from the reptiles, seeing the baby emus, patting the bettongs, feeding the kangaroos, going through the swamps, hearing the love story between Gary and Sandy, and of course, feeding the lovely alpacas. I can really feel the love and care Gary and Sandy have put into this place. And thank you to Alex who was super knowledgeable in both the animals and the history of the place. An experience we weren’t forget.

What a place. Friendly staff, great service, delicious food and wonderful views. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Absolutely amazing place, Great atmosphere in the restaurant and a beautiful view looking out. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was cooked perfectly, and all the ingredients complimented each other well. It was worth the 2-hour drive from Gawler East to be there. We look forward to visiting the place again and trying other wonderful dishes.

Such a lovely experience. We were taken care of from the moment we arrived. The food is terrific and the service friendly and impeccable. We will be back!

I celebrated birthday recently at Swagman Dining and the whole experience couldn't have been better. The staff were so friendly and accommodating for all our wishes, while the food was amazing. A very pleasant experience which I would thoroughly recommend to anyone wishing to celebrate a special occasion or to just have a meal and take in the warmth and picturesque surrounds.

4 of us dined at The Swagman yesterday (21/6/23)
we were very impressed with the quality of the food and the great service.the views from our table were magnificent, but the food was even better
Best dining experience I have ever had (and I have had many)
If we could give it 10 stars we would!

Privately owned reserve and alpaca farm. Alen was our guide and he was a pleasure to be with. We saw hand reared Kangaroos and a Koala which was resued from a recent bush fire.

The Swagman country dining had some extraordinary food. A big high five to the chef

We had a fantastic lunch for 6 people today. The food was exceptional. We all of had something different from the menu and all love every bit. Beautiful surroundings and a fireplace to stay cosy. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend!

We had a fantastic lunch! And the service was amazing! Thank you for the wonderful afternoon at the swagman restaurant will be recommending you to our friends!

We thoroughly enjoyed our buggy tour of Softfoot. Our guide, Alex, was terrific: friendly, knowledgeable with great passion for wildlife and Softfoot. Wonderful to see what Gary and Sandy have done to the regenerate the land. We are now going to book the night tour.

I had a wonderful experience at Softfoot Alpacas farm and retreat. The alpacas are beautiful, and you can also see different wildlife in the sanctuary. The owner and staffs are full of passion for wildlife and what they’ve done in the sanctuary is admirable. I stayed one night in the retreat, it is very clean and a great place to relax after a long day. I also recommend the Softfoot dining restaurant, lovely foods and excellent customer service. Prices are reasonable and they offer discount and tour packages. I will definitely go back again!

It was an amazing experience to see this absolutely beautiful place and cute animals. It was also fun on a buggy! Strongly recommend!

The food was absolutely delicious, we both had the ribeye steak and it was easily one of the best steaks we’ve ever had. The view from the restaurant was gorgeous and we had phenomenal service. Would absolutely recommend.

Very awesome alpaca farm tour. Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide and had a lot of time with the alpacas.

Alpaca tour with Amy was informative, engaging and so much fun. Huge property to traverse in buggy with many animal and scenery highlights on the way. Delicious food at restaurant after the guided tour. Highly recommend!

Amazing wildlife and scenery. Service was excellent despite some mess up with our breakfast package.
Felt the accommodation was a bit wanting though. Our stay was nice, but we left the room cleaner than we found it. The room was pretty filthy when we checked in and we spent a good half hour to forty minutes cleaning the place ourselves. Would suggest management to invest in better cleaners as it really ruined our first impression.

Had a great time on the alpaca tour. Guide was lovely and very Informative. Would recommend for all ages.

I highly recommend taking the kids for a alpaca tour. The food at the swagman was delicious, portions generous for the price, the service attentive and staff so friendly.
