Riesling Trail & Clare Valley Cottages

Scrupulously clean, contained all facilities expected for this type of accommodation. Pleasant decor, attractive location and excellent prior communication by management.

We absolutely loved the Clare Valley Cottages and had a great stay – wish it could’ve been longer. The place is located right on the Reisling Trail (great spot for cyclists!), just on the outskirts of Clare. We stayed in a very nice and roomy self-contained unit, complete with small kitchenette. The unit was bright and airy, nicely furnished, and spotlessly clean. It was so quiet and peaceful – we had a great sleep. The TV and Wifi both worked well, no problems. We had an amazing stay and would highly recommend this place to other travelers.

We basically took over this slice of paradise for 5 nights. Five couples - all long time friends - visited the Adelaide Hills area for a family wedding; hired a van; and stayed in the Clare Valley. We found these cottages on line and it was just perfect. We spent the days visiting the wineries and the nights sitting around one of the 2 barbecues drinking the day’s purchases (and eating way to much!). Every day we walked into Clare for a coffee, and for groceries when necessary. Plus a restaurant or two. The cottages were all well presented with plenty on offer for breakfast (bacon, eggs, bread/butter/jam, juice, cereal/milk, tea bags/coffee pods) and all the utensils you need. Our cottage was clean & tidy with good wifi, plenty of hot water and a large comfy bed; plus a spa bath; shower (we were in Lily cottage). Couldn’t be happier.

We stayed in the Iris Cottage which was spacious, clean and private. Breakfast provisions were generous. The décor is outdated (reminded us of a grandmother's home) but there is a lovely ambience and peacefulness about the place. We had chosen this accommodation because of its close proximity to The Riesling Trail which we were cycling and bike hire is close by at reasonable rates. It is also a very close drive to the main shops in Clare. I would not hesitate to recommend Clare Valley Cottages to our family, friends and work colleagues visiting Clare.
