Bridgewater Mill - Bridgewater Mill and Waterwheel. Set in the charming town of Bridgewater in the rambling scenery of the Adelaide Hills, this old mill dates back to 1860 when it was built by John Dunn, a mill engineer from Devonshire. He built a number of flour mills throughout Australia, but the Bridgewater Mill is by far his most famous.
Situated on Mount Barker Road, the mill boasts an impressive working waterwheel which was built back in the mid 1800s. Dunn chose this particular spot for the mill because it was a prime hotspot for catching traffic that passed through the area.
In 1986, the mill was bought by a consortium that renovated it and integrated an award-winning winery into the building: Petaluma wines. Today, it is both a popular restaurant and a wine cellar, drawing in crowds looking for cultural pursuits in the Adelaide area. - Captain Proud Paddle Boat Cruises - Board for your 3 Hour 2 Course Lunch Cruise. Heading up river to the spectacular cliffs is a sight to behold or enjoy the lower reaches of the Murray River surrounding Murray Bridge a relaxing time out. Either way you have the best of the Murray River at your leisure.
- Hahndorf - Enjoy free time in Hahndorf after your River Cruise. Hahndorf is classified as Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement and each year thousands of people, young and old, enjoy its charm and the hospitality.

Adelaide Hills and Murray River Cruise - Roy was a great guide, very attentive, and loves his job. He was punctual with pick up. The cruise was calm. It was good to walk around Hanhdorf at the end of the day.

The 3 hr paddle steamer trip along the Murray was relaxing with wonderful views and topped off with a lovely 2 course lunch.

Lovely Views + a note - it was great! the only note I'd give is maybe if the cruise and Handorf were 2 hours each? we got a little board on the boat that long and didn't get to see as much of Handorf as we wanted. (the cruise was 3 hours and Handorf was 1 hour)

Murray River/Adelaide Hills - Lunch cruise down the River was great, skippers knowledge of the area was great! Little disappointed with missing the Mt Lofty Summit part of the itinerary especially as it was a stunning Adelaide day. Would have loved a more detailed history of the areas we were travelling through in the bus. Was a good day, nice to meet the other travellers

Worthwhile. - A pity most of my fellow passengers talked in groups with ever- increasing volume and drowned out announcements, which were safety and journey commentary-related.

Disappointing as we did not go. - We were not able to go on our trip as we had the incorrect date on our booking. We are now hoping to go on July 30th when we will be in Adelaide and would very much appreciate our payment being transferred till then. I tried to cancel but could not get onto your website in time, despite making several attempts. it waw very frustrating!!
I have only filled in the above sections as this email would not go unless i did.
