SADDLES Mount White: A Day Out in the Mazda CX-90: Best Food Destinations Australia
SADDLES MOUNT WHITE, Fuel to Feast visit - Best Food Destinations Australia
If you’ve ever wanted to combine the joy of a scenic drive with a top-notch dining experience, let me tell you about the day I took the Mazda CX-90 on a road trip to Saddles Mount White.
Picture this: It’s a crisp, sunny morning, the kind where the sky is so blue it makes you want to just get out there and drive. And what better car for the job than the Mazda CX-90, courtesy of Sutherland Mazda? This SUV isn’t just about looks (although it’s definitely easy on the eyes); it’s got the kind of power and comfort that makes you want to keep driving just for the heck of it.
Hitting the Road
As soon as I slid into the driver’s seat, I could feel this was going to be a good day. The leather seats felt like a warm hug, and the interior had that new car smell that’s just addictive. The drive up to Mount White was a breeze, with the CX-90 handling the winding roads like a champ. The engine had enough grunt to make overtaking those slow Sunday drivers a breeze, and the suspension smoothed out the bumps like they weren’t even there.
One of the best things about the CX-90 is the tech. The heads-up display kept me informed without having to take my eyes off the road, and the Bose sound system? Let’s just say it turned my playlist into a concert.
The Destination: Saddles Mount White
After about an hour of cruising, I pulled up to Saddles, and wow—what a spot! Nestled by a picturesque lake, Saddles is the kind of place that feels like a hidden gem. The moment you step out of the car, you’re greeted by the smell of fresh country air and the sight of that inviting lake, sparkling in the sunlight.
The vibe at Saddles is relaxed yet refined. You’ve got rustic wooden interiors, cozy fireplaces, and an open kitchen where you can see the chefs working their magic. The place was buzzing with people, but it still felt like our own little slice of paradise.
Lunch with a View
Now, let’s talk food. The menu at Saddles is all about fresh, local ingredients, and it doesn’t disappoint. I started with the house-baked bread—warm, crusty, and perfect with a pat of butter. For the main, I went with their signature Sirloin steak with super buttery potato mash....YUMMO. Every bite was like a warm hug from the inside out.
Sitting there, enjoying my meal by the lake, it was easy to forget about everything else. The world just seemed to slow down, and all that mattered was good food, great company, and that stunning view.
The Drive Home
After lunch, I took a leisurely stroll around the lake, just soaking it all in. But all good things must come to an end, and soon it was time to head back. Luckily, the CX-90 was waiting to make the drive home just as enjoyable as the trip out. With the sun starting to set, I rolled down the windows, turned up the music, and let the CX-90 take me home.
If you’re looking for a perfect day trip, I can’t recommend this combo enough: a Mazda CX-90 from Sutherland Mazda and a lunch at Saddles, Mount White. The drive is a pleasure, the destination is unbeatable, and the memories you’ll make? Priceless. So, what are you waiting for? Grab your keys, hit the road, and enjoy the ride!
