THE EXPERIENCE at BATTUNGA COTTAGES, KOOKABURRA, CLARE VALLEY:

Nestled in the tranquil countryside of Watervale, South Australia, Battunga Cottages – Kookaburra offers an enchanting adults-only retreat. Picture yourself in one of 4 wll presented self-contained units, reminiscent of the 19th century. Each is designed for ultimate privacy with separate entrances. Imagine stepping 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 Kookaburra. The environs provide the perfect blend of relaxation and exploration in one of the state’s premier wine regions.

ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS at BATTUNGA COTTAGES, CLARE VALLEY:

Battunga Cottages – Kookaburra can host up to 2 guests, with accommodation for a total of 12 guests across all cottages. Choose between a 2-bedroom or a 1-bedroom layout, or book all four for that long-overdue getaway with friends. 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: freshly baked homemade bread, eggs from Battunga’s hens, local butcher bacon, cereals, juice, and spreads. These are provided every night of your stay. Kerry and Mark are happy to accommodate dietary needs with advance notice. There are delightful local snacks, fruit and thoughtful touches just for you, for example, local cheeses, olives, dip, crackers and wine to enjoy.
