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!”
