We saw some photos of Tempest before we arrived so expectations were high. What we didn’t expect was to be absolutely blown away by this brilliant place. It was so good, that one of my kids refused to leave. She will now greet future guests on their arrival.
Located in prime position overlooking the harbour at Robe, a mere 2 min drive from main street (or a 10 minute walk…but you know how hard it is to walk home after pizza right?), it is really hard for my basic grasp of the English language to do it justice.
It boasts 3 huge bedrooms, 2 with king sized beds (have you ever tried to tell a 14yo girl who had a king sized bed that she had to leave? It is easier to get a toddler to eat vegetables or me to do ironing) and an open plan living room/kitchen with wide ranging views onto the harbour. That sounds all well and good, but without sounding like a real estate agent on The Block, this place is just the bees knees (Probably not a legit real estate agent phrase)
My kids just loved this place. It has all the comforts of home (and to be honest a lot more because this is waaaaay better than my house) like wifi, big screen TV’s (with Netflix on each I might add!) and all that jazz. But for me, my favourite memory of my stay at Tempest was waking (involuntarily…thanks Mr 5) at about 6am and sitting in the lounge room watching the sun rise over the harbour while drinking a coffee.
We didn’t want to leave. If that isn’t a ringing endorsement for a holiday home then I don’t know what is.

Hitting the Limestone Coast with kids? Namely ROBE in the states South East? You will not find a better family meal, or a better pizza than The Project Robe. Let's go one further, its a pretty hard place to beat, you probably won't find a prettier seaside town to make holiday memories in with your kids than here. Robe has it all, great pizza included, but we have know about this place for a while now. The Project at Robe is hands down our best pick for eating out in this beautiful little corner of South Australia. They are open for lunch and dinner daily, and in the few years that we have been visiting these guys - they only keep getting better and better. Pretty sure any one who has spent any amount of time in Robe will tell you, it's a must visit. Kids are fussy right. All of them in the KiA team. We have now sent three of our Kids in Adelaide Families to this little gem and it's come up trumps every.single.time with the kids. What we loved about The Project is the vibe (to quote the castle who made 'the vibe' cool way before…

We are fairly spoilt here in SA when it comes to our world famous wine regions. From McLaren Vale to the Barossa, we don’t have to venture too far from home to visit some great places. But any conversation about great wine regions in SA has to include Coonawarra. As you head down the Riddoch Highway towards Penola, you will see beautiful vineyards for miles on either side. You can bounce from cellar door to cellar door or as we did, found the best place for families and spent the afternoon at Balnaves of Coonawarra. I am not the most knowledgeable of wine buffs, but I can appreciate a great setting and cheese. Massive fan of cheese right here. With a huge grassed area next to a gorgeous lake and decked area, comfy lawn lounges and heaps of sports and games equipment, this was great fun for all ages. The kids can play while the parents hit the cellar door a few metres away. Bliss! We took advantage of the picnic box for the parents and a kids snack box each for my 3. There was a little pep talk before fussy Miss 11 took the plunge to eat a…
