Fresh eggs and toast with plentiful supplies made for a delicious breakfast. Location is within walking distance of pubs and restaurants in town Centre. Helen has the fire going and met me at the house when I arrived. The Pig and Whistle is a really cosy place to stay in winter with a well stocked pantry and everything you need to make a yummy breakfast.

The cottage is close to the shops and restaurants. The wood fire, Electric blankets and fan heaters makes the cottage nice and cosy in winter and the thick walls and air con make it cool in summer. Families and groups of three or two couples find the cottage suits their needs as the rooms are spread out and you are not on top of each other. The large garden is great for kids. Everything you need is there, robes, hairdryer,full size fridge, microwave,Coffee plunger,washing machine. Linen and towels provided. Firewood is provided free. There is a BBQ. This place has all the historic charm of the old miners cottages, with all the mod cons. Kids love the milkshake machine and the rabbits in the yard. There is a rocking horse in the single room and this room doubles as a children's lounge. There are walking trails nearby and it is actually on the Heysen trail. The cottage is in a tranquil part of town but close to everything. One night stays are available on request. I do NOT accept credit cards please make sure you have the cash upon arrival. Please don't ring on a private number I wont answer. There is a tall cactus in the driveway. Enter by rear door.

I live close by and will meet you at the cottage to hand over the key. I'm a hands on sort of host so please ask any questions you need answered.

Burra is an old copper mining town that saved South Australia from going bankrupt in the early days. It now is a tourist and farming town, but its original features are unspoiled. We have become a popular film location too, Russell Crowe filmed some of The Water Diviner around Burra. Other films including Wolf Creek and Breaker Morant have used Burra too. The Flora and Fauna are a big feature of the surrounding areas. Burra District has some great festivals. The Open Gardens is each year in October. and there is an Antique fair and The Burra Picnic Races are in as well. There is so much to do in Burra and The Clare Valley Wine Region is 25 mins away. The town of Morgan on the River Murray offers a great day trip, have lunch onthe river and come home to one of our award winning restaurants. We are spoiled for food in Burra, Italian, Indonesian, fine dining, coffee shops galore! The best breakfast places.
