Choose from a two-bedroom or one-bedroom cottages or book all four for that long overdue girls/guys getaway. All cottages include a separate living area with a kitchenette, bathroom, and a wood fireplace. Cooked and continental breakfast supplies from the best local producers and a few local treats will be delivered on arrival.
The perfect spot after a day of wine tasting and epicurean delights or having enjoyed cycling the Riesling Trail appreciating the perfect panorama of the Clare Valley on one of the best bike trails in South Australia.
And while you are here, take some time to just chill. Follow the resident mob of Kangaroos trail through magnificent gums and see the sunrise over the vineyards. At sunset, sipping your cellar door bootie, relaxing on your private veranda, listen to the chorus of magpies, galahs, and kookaburras sing their evening song. And don’t forget before you go to bed, look up and view the magnificent stars of southern skies.
