Harvest the Fleurieu — Attraction in Mount Compass

We came here for our anniversary today because we heard things from coeliac pages about it having good options and the wife is coeliac.

We were pretty disappointed that after travelling over an hour the only savoury option for us was to share the singular pie available. The pie itself has an amazing filling but as a 110kg male having to choose between half a pie or not being able to kiss my wife (because of lack of gluten free pies) was a downer, also the crust of the pie was soft and had a less than good texture.

The chocolate eclair we had was very tasty and was better than average. It was rather delicious.

The Black Forest we shared was dry but other than that had great flavours.

Something to note is this place no longer has indoor seating as it was all moved outside and there are a lot of flies.

We came back later in the day for ginger bread ice cream later in the day and it was amazing.

All in all there are some redeeming qualities but it was in many ways disappointing.

I’m hoping this review is fair as I pride myself on fair reviews if I could I would have added another half star but there was just too many things that could have been done better to warrant a full extra star.

Edit: I can’t figure out how to reply to your reply but we’ll drop around when we get another chance. To maintain the integrity of the review which is a little hobby of mine I won’t let you know who we are and if it’s a better experience we will edit the review and give you guys a shout out on all the coeliac pages. I much rather give glowing reviews than reviews that...

Beautiful place to pick Strawberries. The best time to come to pick is Jan till March. We went late Dec and as you can see from the photos there were not much red/ripe strawberries. There are a few wheelchair access lanes which is a plus to cater to wider demographic. The strawberry ice cream is worth a try. There is also a small picnic area with tables and benches for picnic. (Edited to mention the correct months to pick and changed rating from 4 stars to 5 stars). Also worth noting this is a child friendly place. Highly recommended for families with little ones. When we were there, there were some people (teenagers) who picked strawberries and returned to refilled the strawberries (double or triple picking). As much as we would like stricter monitoring by the business, this is a family place and I think the business's priority is having satisfied customers. We can all do our part by helping local businesses (through sharing honest feedbacks and giving out positive feedbacks when they deserve it, and buying local produce). My family will definitely come back to this place. 😊 The only drawback is no bags (even small sling bags) are allowed when picking strawberries with the exception of people with medical issues. This is sometimes tricky for parents with...

Wednesday 3rd Jan, I felt truly embarrassed when, about 50 meters into the strawberry patch, a team member loudly signaled me to remove my bag, drawing EVERYONE’s attention. Despite my bag being smaller than an A5 notebook, the focus was on me, the supposed strawberry thief. The situation was confusing and humiliating, especially considering others were wearing backpacks.

There should be a clearer way to inform people unfamiliar with the rules, perhaps with visible guidelines at the entrance. I couldn't find the rules before leaving, and they weren't explained when I purchased the punnet.

Although I understand one person's actions don't represent the entire business, the incident spoiled my experience, leaving me feeling embarrassed as I passed through the patch with all those witnesses. I recognize the employee's passion for doing her job accurately.

Please find a better way to communicate those already in the field as someone more vulnerable than me could find this quite distressing.

Unfortunately, I have not heard back from the company after private messaging them with my concern.
