Travellers are flocking from all over the country to dine at a Kangaroo Island restaurant appropriately named ‘The Enchanted Fig Tree’, which is visible only once guests walk inside a hidden entrance.

It is open on selected days for lunch during spring and summer and can seat up to 45 diners but those who wish to visit can only do so between November 10, 2022 and April 10, 2023.
