Excellent hosts, beautiful surroundings. Loved so much the fresh baked bread and the the emus
AustraliaImmaculate clean, well equipped, great bed, very comfortable and functional unit
AustraliaEnjoyed the bteakfast- maybe some fresh fruit- banana or apple etc would be welcome
AustraliaImmaculately clean and very comfortable cabin, with all amenities provided including good wifi. Quality bed and linen, excellent bathroom, modern functional kitchenette with induction cooktop and microwave. An added treat was the freshly baked home made bread delivered each morning by our friendly hosts Tracey and David, supplementing the already generous breakfast provisions. We also enjoyed the opportunity provided to feed the resident emus and alpacas, a rare and great experience.
AustraliaBeautiful area, nice having the alpacas and emus nearby. A bit of history also with early farm implements around & although the road was close by, the noise was minimal. The fresh bread dropped by around 8am was the icing on the cake - absolutely delicious, reminding us all of hot bread when we were kids; also plenty of butter provided and a full litre of milk - thank you! Bathroom facilities good - heat lamp, hot shower, clean and welcoming. The owner recommended the Watervale Hotel for dinner - got a table despite not booking (recommended!) and we chose a variety of share dishes, all of which were wonderful. Also tried local wines all of which we enjoyed, later visiting the wineries to buy a bottle or two!
AustraliaLovely peaceful country surroundings close to Clare and wineries. Freshly baked bread delivered in the morning to have with jam, butter and milk already waiting in the fridge
AustraliaSet amongst the red-gums, the rosellas, the red-rump parrots, and the robins. All that with a glass of local reisling - just right. To cap that off our hosts were warm, friendly and very generous.&
AustraliaWe really liked the convenience of the location for the Clare Food and Wine weekend. It was so easy to get to our selected wineries in such a short space of time. Our cabin was clean, warm and well appointed. Tracy and David are friendly and professional, and bake the best bread (every morning). Looking forward to our visit in 2022
AustraliaAbove expectation breakfast in a most relaxing setting. Cabins were very well appointed and so many extras unexpected, from the Micellar water cleansing wipes to the selection of local Beerenberg jams to go with the freshly baked bread in the morning. Watervale is a beautiful small town in the Clare Valley, right in the middle of the fantastic Reisling Trail cycle path.
AustraliaBeautiful serene location, beautifully equipped cabin with all the comforts you would need for a short stay. Extremely enjoyable and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen, stocked with ample breakfast spreads and cereals and it was lovely to have warm fresh bread delivered each morning.
