Brilliant place with exceptional hosts, fantastic views from every angle. Could not wish for a better place to relax and enjoy the surrounds. Great provisions included, loved the bottle of wine that was left for us to indulge in and the bonfire under the full moon was a treat. A beautiful house that is thoroughly recommended.

Joy Saudi Arabia

The peaceful and private location with stunning views of the vineyard and farming area around Clare. The pool and outside area and the spacious interior made this an ideal package for our 4 couples. The warmth, friendliness and attention to detail from our hosts was memorable. The amenities and breakfast provisions were generous and all we needed. We particularly enjoyed the provision of games for our evening relaxation time after touring the Clare. Finska was a major winner.

Robert Australia

Great location, excellent facilities and incredibly well appointed.

Stuart United States of America

Susan Australia

Great breakfast provisions were left for us by Steve & Katrina. Everything was spotless and the house is so well fitted out, with good quality furnishings and linens. We all liked our roomy bedrooms. Wonderful views across the vineyards and rolling hills from the living area and some bedrooms. The pool was great, and some of our group enjoyed the table tennis set up in a distant shed. Ideal location for a large group, just 4km or so from Clare. We even had late-afternoon visits from a couple of kangaroos who wandered between the rows of vines. This property would suit guests of a range of age groups.

Di Australia

Absolutely sensational. We had a large group of friends and it accommodated everyone perfectly. Views are so picturesque and relaxing, it's tucked away from the world where it belongs 😊 yet just a short drive away from the beautiful wineries of the Clare Valley. The retreat was everything we needed and has everything you need. The hosts were fabulous, cheers Steve and Katrina for hosting us.

Kara Australia

Provisions for breakfast were generous and delicious. The ambiance of the house was relaxed and warm and friendly. Hosts were welcoming and discreet. Beds were very comfortable, and we all loved the quality of the bedding. Kitchen was so well stocked with all the crockery ,cutlery and everything we needed to use. So many quiet places to find a minute to yourself and soak in the views

Cassandra Australia

Everything. We did not want for anything. Beautiful surroundings and very comfortable home. So impressed that we have already booked another stay. The owners certainly know how to provide for guests.

Elizabeth Australia

Good quality breakfast provisions. Magnificent views over the valley. Glorious sunrises. Warm cosy fireplace. Every room tastefully furnished. Quiet and peaceful rural setting.

Scobie Lane is a working vineyard and cattle property. 80 acres to yourself with stunning views to the north from the living room, and a 10 acre scrub block with views over the Blyth Plains. Kangaroos and native birds are regularly sighted on the property and on occasion wild deer will wander through. The original home comprises 4 beautifully appointed bedrooms (3 with queen and 1 with 2 king singles) and the extension built in 2002 holds the 5th bedroom (with queen and en-suite) and a large open plan living and kitchen. Free WIFI, Foxtel with TVs and Air conditioners in every bedroom. Take a refreshing dip in the pool during summer and relax in the spa as you sip a local wine. Enjoy the cosy wood fire in the main living room for those cold winter nights. Full breakfast provisions with local produce and a coffee machine. All linen and towels supplied.

We are a farming family producing wine grapes, cereal crop production and we run a Murray Grey Beef Cattle Stud "Ballyvaughan Murray Greys". Born and raised in the local area we love the Clare Valley and all it has to offer.

The Clare Valley is a great central location with many options to either visit the local wineries and restaurants, or take day trips to Burra, Yorke Peninsula, Upper mid North or even the Barossa Valley. The Clare Valley hosts 30 fantastic wineries all making top quality wines, and numerous stunning Restaurants, Pubs and Tapas bars allow opportunities for all food lovers.
