he Clare Valley is one of SA’s ‘must visit’ regions. Why? Because it’s overflowing with picturesque scenes, bountiful produce, award-winning wines and cosy accommodation. If you’re not sure where to start, we’re here to take you on a tour of spots in Clare that we can’t stop thinking about…
WATERVALE Battunga Cottages
Our hearts are fluttering at the thought of staying in one of Battunga’s four self-contained cottages on a privately-owned property surrounded by rural landscapes. Two of these nineteenth-century-style cottages can host up to four guests, so you can hire them privately or fill each one with your friends for a 12 person getaway. Each cottage includes a separate living area, kitchenette, bathroom and wood fireplace, plus all the modern amenities. And on arrival, prepare to be wowed with brekky supplies from the best local producers — plus some extra treats! battungacottages.com.au @battungacottages
Watervale Hotel
The multi-award-winning Watervale Hotel offers ethical, epicurean experiences that celebrate local and seasonal produce. Let your senses sing with their four different dining styles — there’s à la carte or a Feed Me menu featuring organic produce from Penobscot Farm; a Gourmet or Farm Feast with shared plates best enjoyed in a group; or a six-course degustation menu that can be matched with Clare Valley wines or mocktails. Fancy! You can also make a day of it by booking a signature experience like the Six Senses Penobscot Farm Tour or a full-day interactive cooking masterclass. watervalehotel.com.au | @watervalehotel - 10
