We had a wonderful stay at Battunga Cottages. Slightly off the main road which is perfect for a peaceful stay enjoying the wildlife. They are fully equipped with god quality items, everything you need. The fire ensures for a cosy warm evening. The welcome treats and breakfast provisions are exceptional. Highly recommend.

It was set among the gum trees overlooking a creek opposite the main homestead. It was quiet but for the birdsong. A beautiful setting for relaxing. There were a number of home touches and a well stocked fridge.

This is a stunning property - the owners Kerry and Mark have added unique touches to the cottages , chilled eon and cheeses awaiting for you on arrival along with a freshly baked loaf of bread and a bowl of fruit . The breakfast items consisted three different choices of breakfast cereal , yogurt as well as bacon , eggs, mushrooms . A very relaxing place to stay surrounded by beautiful gardens and gum trees . It is a very short drive to Clare from the cottages and surrounding wineries. We highly recommend this property .

This place is a MUST if you’re heading to the Clare Valley. An absolutely beautiful tranquil spot and food for days! The hosts are so generous with their food gifts that you won’t need to go out for breakfast or snacks. The cozy wood fire keeps you warm at night & adds to the country feel. Would highly recommend and would stay again and again.

One of four independent cottages located in an idyllic rural setting less than two kilometres of the township of Watervale and a dedicated cycling and walking trail. A host of wineries and other attractions are within a short driving distance. A welcome basket of goodies including local produce provided us with our needs for breakfasts and nibbles for the duration of our stay.

Loved the quiet location. Breakfast provisions were first class. No cooktop but electric frypan and microwave oven were more than sufficient for cooking. Comfortable and very nicely decorated.
