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:

Nestled in the tranquil village of Watervale, South Australia, Battunga Cottages offer an enchanting adults-only retreat. Picture yourself in one of 4 beautifully styled self-contained units. Each is 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, there’s a soothing little symphony of birdsong and Galah Cottage provides the perfect blend for an escape in one of the state’s premier wine regions.

ACCOMMODATION CHOICES at BATTUNGA COTTAGES

Battunga Cottages – Galah, Clare Valley accommodates up to 4 guests, with potential for sleeping 12 guests in 4 abodes. Choose between a 2-bedroom or a 1-bedroom layout, or book all 4 places. Each cottage features a separate living area, kitchenette, bathroom, and a cosy wood fireplace.

Awaken to the delightful sounds of magpies, galahs, and kookaburras. Start your day with a generous farmhouse breakfast basket filled with locally sourced treats. For example, freshly baked, homemade bread, eggs from Battunga’s hens, local butcher bacon, cereals, juice, and spreads. Both Kerry and Mark are happy to accommodate dietary needs with advance notice. There are also delightful local snacks, fruit and thoughtful touches to enhance your experience – local cheeses, olives, dip, crackers and wine to enjoy. You will be hard pressed to come across such generosity in a B&B!
