Battunga Cottages review…”Lovely cottage just outside Watervale. Delightful host, comfortable quality accommodation and facilities. Breakfast provisions were lovely – the fresh bread was to die for. Tranquil, just perfect rural SA, great base for touring the Clare Valley. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, our only regret is we didn’t stay long enough. We voted this the best accommodation we stayed at in our tour of the region, thanks for having us!”

THE EXPERIENCE at BATTUNGA COTTAGES – GALAH

Nestled in the tranquil village of Watervale, South Australia, Battunga Cottages offer an enchanting adults-only retreat. There are 4 super comfortable self-contained units, designed for ultimate privacy with separate entrances. Step out onto your own charming patio, where a trellis draped in grapevines overlooks fragrant lavender hedges and lush gardens. As dusk falls, listen to a little symphony of birds and in one of the state’s premier wine regions.

Battunga Cottages – Galah

Battunga Cottages – Galah, Clare Valley sleeps 4, with room for 12 across four comfy abodes. This 2-bedroom gem has a queen bed, crackling wood fire, private veranda, and a leadlight entrance that says, you’ve arrived.

Wake to the local choir of magpies and kookaburras, then tuck into a proper farmhouse brekkie basket with homemade bread, fresh eggs, butcher’s bacon, juice, and all the good stuff. (By the way, dietary requirements catered for with prior notice). Kerry and Mark even throw in local cheeses, olives, and vino… because why not?

Let’s be honest, not every B&B spoils you rotten. This one does.

Extraordinary Hosts at Battunga Cottages

Kerry and Mark’s warm country hospitality comes with fresh flowers, personal touches, and genuine care. No wonder Battunga won SA’s Top Tourism Town Voter’s Choice (2021) and Travellers’ Choice (2022).

Group Getaway at Battunga Cottages

For groups, Battunga offers 4 self-contained cottages. “Galah” and “Parrot” with two bedrooms, while “Kookaburra” and “Rosella” with one bedroom each. Battunga Cottages guarantee comfort and relaxation.

Perfectly placed, stroll to the Wine & Wilderness Trail one way, or head the other to Blue Gum Lookout and the Cascades waterfall in Spring Gully Conservation Park.

Explore Clare Valley Wine Region

Explore Clare’s renowned Riesling Trail by bike, with breathtaking views along one of South Australia’s best cycling routes. Delight in gourmet food trails, top wine experiences, or simply unwind on your private verandah under starlit skies, sipping local wine watching the sunset over the vineyards.

From Galah Cottage, you’re a stone’s throw from the award-winning Watervale Hotel — a hub for Clare’s best food and wine. Check out their Epicurean Club, and ask Kerry about her cheeky midweek “Keep Your Gin Up” tours.

Battunga’s Pet Friendly Policy

Bringing a well-behaved fur guest? Just check with Kerry first. She runs a tight (but pet-friendly) ship.
