Battunga Cottages – Parrot, Clare Valley

WATERVALE VILLAGE | THE RIESLING TRAIL  | HOSPITALITY 

“A stay at this magical place – Battunga Cottages – Parrot, will not disappoint. Convenient to Watervale, but with the seclusion I craved. Stocked with generous supplies of local produce, all I had to do was unpack, relax, and pour myself some wine whilst I sat outside at sunset and enjoyed nature at her finest. Superb visit, thanks. Might even bring my husband next time!!!’
