Dining Options - during your stay at Riverview Rise Retreats

Mannum is a small town nestled on the banks of the Murray River just one hour from Adelaide. As a tourist destination Mannum is not suffering from the typical "Tourist overload" symptoms which can be seen in places like the Barossa Valley and Hahndorf. It therefore stands to reason that you will not find a vast selection of restaurants that you might expect in areas where tourism is highly developed. Tourism in Mannum is only now becoming the destination of discerning travelers who seek to sample a taste of local river culture, history and lifestyle. What Mannum has to offer is uniquely different from that which you will find elsewhere in the world. This is the birthplace of the Australian Paddle Steamers so the focus is fair and squarely on the river and her people.

Regarding cuisine, Mannum is a typical Australian county town offering traditional meals via the two hotels, the local Community Club and a Motel. We have a nice Coffee shop and a couple of take-away's for those impromptu meals we all have occasionally.
