A great location, very beautiful outlook and close to Watervale eating spots. Kerry was lovely to deal with and the cottage was loaded up with local supplies including freshly baked bread.

Magical place to stay for a little getaway. The environment was very peaceful and charming. The breakfast foods we were left were incredible (including homemade bread!) and made for lovely weekend mornings, sitting outside with a coffee and delicious home-cooked brekkie. Kerry was lovely and easy to contact. Would recommend.

We really enjoy Battunga Cottages, the location is great we awoke this morning to the Kookaburras laughing in the trees. It is a very handy location in the Clare Valley, close to everything but quiet and peaceful. The little cottages are very nice well provisioned and very comfortable. We have stayed at Battunga Cottages 4 time in the last 18 months. If you are looking for peace and quiet that is close to restaurants and wineries and the Riesling Trail this is the place to be. We had dinner at Mr Mick's which was excellent, a very nice lunch at the Magpie and Stump at historic Mintaro and an awesome lunch at Paulette's Winery today. We also drive to Burra and had a very nice day exploring the history of the Burra mine and Township a very underrated place to visit in South Australia, if you're into history, go and visit, you need more than one day to visit. Then you can head back to Battunga Cottages and enjoy a wine and platter and relax for a while before the sunsets over the property.

The breakfast provisions were very generous and delicious and fresh and more than I expected. Kerry greeted me on my arrival with fresh baked bread and provided cheese and nibbles and a chilled bottle of local white wine. Superb.

So much thought had gone into making our stay pleasant and memorable time - there was nothing to not like.

The cottage location was quiet and picturesque, set amidst the trees and gardens of the property, with lavender bushes at the door and grapevines framing the little patio. Inside was very well appointed with many, extra touches that made our stay so comfortable. Very comfortable bed with quality linen, period furnishings in lounge and bedroom and an unexpectedly huge array of breakfast ingredients including home baked bread, cereals, yoghurt, juice, fruit, eggs, bacon, spreads and more. A welcoming bottle of wine and cheeses awaited us on arrival. Outside, the private patio and communal BBQ area were both sunny spots to watch the birdlife. There was so much attention to detail that it was easy to see that the owners really care about their guests' comfort.

This is a boutique option for a stay in the Clare Valley. Located about a 2-minute drive from Watervale and a 15-minute drive from Clare, you’ll be staying in a with stone cottage on a country property. The grounds are beautiful, and the cottage is comfortable with a kitchenette/lounge/dining room and bathroom! Kerry is a wonderful hostess and stocks the cottage with ample breakfast provisions (fresh fruit, organic muesli, bread, a selection of jams, honey, yoghurt, bacon, eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms) and gourmet snacks. We arrived to find a bottle of Riesling in the fridge, cheese, crackers, pate and olives – this was a wonderful touch. We really appreciated the gas BBQ because there is a fabulous butcher in nearby Clare. We stayed in the Kookaburra Cottage. The space didn’t work that well for us because we are on a long road trip with lot of luggage, but this is a lovely option for a weekend treat!

Amazing…The cottage was like a small home away from home. Kerry, the owner greeted us with a fresh loaf of bread and the cottage was well stocked with breakfast foods including fresh food in the fridge. The cottage was also stocked with all sorts, from plasters to sun screen! Location was great, quiet country setting with just a short drive to places of interest. Definitely highly recommend.

Nothing ...well. ...here's a suggestion maybe a shelf in the shower to hold the soap within reach....and a small table to hold the toilet paper so that twisting to reach back is avoided. But very minor issues.

We are elderly and I am..unable to walk very far ...We were given great consideration. Our cottage booked was changed to the one very close to the parking. Thankyou. Very thoughtful of the owners. The welcome included cheese and chocolate and wine and a fire set.and ready to be lit. Breakfasts were excellent..bacon ,eggs fruit and fresh bread. We chose to stay in rather than go out on the first night. We were warm and comfortable and v happy. Next day..We could sit in the sunshine and enjoy the smell of the eucalypts,the lavender and the sound of the birds. We were delighted to explore the local scene from here and return to our cottage after dining out.. So pretty.

The cottage surprisingly wasn't stand alone, but one of a group of four. The access was quite narrow to get our luggage in, although we did appreciate the trolley supplied to do so.

After a warm welcome from Kerry we discovered the our cozy cottage was a treasure trove of gourmet treats. The two bedroom cottage wasn't huge, but on a chilly autumn night with the fire going it was a wonderful place to stay in the Clare Valley.

There is nothing we don't like.

This is our third time staying at Battunga Cottages, the cottages are excellent, great location in the heart of the Clare Valley. They are quiet, well appointed the food and wine supplied is always brilliant. It's close to the Reisling Trail. A short drive to Clare. All you can hear is the birds and the rain on the roof. Just fantastic.

The cottage was really well appointed and Kerry supplied us with the most amazing goodies for breakfast. The nibbles and wine that was waiting for us after a long day was a wonderful surprise.

I loved it all.

The cottage was perfect in every way, I would definitely return and probably want to stay longer. The property is beautiful and so peaceful, birdlife and gardens to enjoy, close to the Riesling Trail and Watervale. I loved our stay, the fireplace, the thoughtful breakfast provisions, wine, dips, fruit and cheese waiting for us and a warm, freshly baked loaf of bread on arrival. I also found the gorgeous rocking chair outside our door to be the perfect place to sit with a book or magazine, and enjoy the tranquility and beautiful surroundings.

We stayed four nights in April and were pleasantly surprised. There were very generous breakfast provisions including bacon, eggs, tomatoes, avocado, mushrooms, cereals, yoghurt, fruit and orange juice. We even enjoyed a loaf of freshly baked bread. There was cheese and biscuits and seasonal Easter eggs! It was an extremely comfortable bed with lots of thoughtfulness in how things were arranged. There was ample wood for fires (you don't need much) and we lit up on three nights. Battunga cottages are in a quiet location behind Watervale and I would certainly stay here again.

Lighting above the bathroom mirror would be helpful.

Seats of dining chairs not all that comfortable. Gravel path not friendly for trolley cases.

Fabulous setting, surrounded by trees, sounds of birds, fresh air, lavender hedge after rain. Local kangas a delight. Provisions for breakfast were more than adequate. Mushrooms, eggs, jams and fresh bread especially appreciated. Coffee maker was a bonus. Furniture and furnishings amazing. Parrot cottage has the best view! Wish we could have stayed longer!

From the warm welcome, to the beautiful homely touches in our cabin, I could not flaw our stay. Kerry went above and beyond any other host I've stayed with and it really did make our stay all the more special as a result. The cottage was pristine and full of local fresh goods like cheese, wine, chocolates, preservatives, eggs, bacon, veggies, fresh bread, milk, the list goes on. She has taken the time to really consider what it would take to make a cottage stay 5 star and I will give her that rating as a result. The setting in farmland makes a tranquil backdrop for these cottages, and I can say I've never enjoyed sitting with a cup of tea and listening to the birds chatter amongst the gentle sway of the eucalyptus trees so much. I will most certainly be back for another visit.

A tastefully decorated cottage that oozed charm. peaceful location allowing deep and uninterrupted sleep. Beautiful food and ambiance that positively distracted our immediate plans to just stay longer to enjoy the moment.
