CLARE VALLEY B&B | WILDLIFE & VINEYARDS | FOODIES BEHOLD!

“We stayed for two nights in the one-bedroom Battunga Cottages – Kookaburra (a kookaburra visited us on our last morning), which was very generously supplied with a fruit basket, grazing basket, with dip, olives, cheese etc, and bottle of local wine, as well as WARM homemade bread and all one needs for two hearty breakfasts – fresh eggs, bacon, tomatoes etc. The wood fire was all ready for us to to light, with plenty of spare logs and was very effective which made our stay even cosier, keeping the cottage warm all night. Thanks to owners, Kerry & Mark for their kind and generous hospitality.”
