Interview with a local business: Willunga Hotel

Nick van Vliet presents a series of interviews with local businesses in the Willunga, McLaren Vale, Mount Compass & surrounding areas.

Nick visits the Willunga Hotel and meets Heath DeBoo. This year the Willunga Hotel celebrates its 150th Anniversary. 

 

  

Business Name: Willunga Hotel

 

What is different about the Willunga Hotel?

The historic building and the good old fashioned service with the premium meals. We cater for everyone, down from schnitzels and a pint in the front bar through to a nice restaurant meal in the front bar. 

What are some of the secrets you like to share with interstate visitors and tourists when they stop in?

I definitely think the Aldinga Beach itself is a pretty rare opportunity to have a drive along the beach. It’s also very kid friendly with shallow waters. We sit right in the hard of a wine region which is a definite draw card.

Why did you choose Willunga to set up the business?

I’m a born and bred Willunga starter through my school days and football club. Being a publican in different areas the opportunity to move back to Willunga came up and we moved back to Willunga 9 years ago.
