    Kerry’s welcome was warm and the provisions were beyond our expectation. Walking up the back of the property in the natural settings was bird and fauna rich.

Company information

We purchased the 86 acre property in 2021, which we share with several mobs of kangaroos and wallabies, and a wide selection of native Australian birds. Wehave been operating the cottages, re branded and refurbished for three years. During this time we have secured a Tourism Industry 4 star rating and continued to secure 5 star reviews.

Property information

Battunga Cottages, the perfect Watervale hideaway, in the Clare Valley. The four Battunga cottages are fully equipped with all modern amenities and include a separate living area with a kitchenette, bathroom, and a wood fireplace.“So perfectly Clare”, is how one of our guests described their stay. At dusk, after a day of wine tasting and epicurean delights, sip your cellar door bootie, relaxing on your private veranda, and watch the glorious colours of the sunset over the Skilly Hills. Listen to the chorus of magpies, galahs, and kookaburras sing their evening song. And don't forget, before you go to bed, look up and view the magnificent stars of southern skies. “…just hide away in Upper Skilly Road - you'll love it!” We provide hearty breakfast provisions and a complimentary welcome pack described by one fan as “The best B&B experience ever!”
