Sir Walter’s Cottage @ Hughes Park

Stay in our award winning Hughes Park Cottage or the new Sir Walter’s Cottage, a tranquil getaway for couples or families. Approximately 120km north of Adelaide, nestled in the Skilly hills, just 2 km’s from the township of Watervale in the middle of the beautiful Clare Valley, Hughes Park offers 2 cottages. Sir Walter’s Cottage opened in early 2020 a 2 bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage.
Both originating from 1845 and are surrounded by beautiful vines and historic sheep farming country – perfect for a stroll and a photographer’s delight. The cottages are family friendly and children are welcome. Snuggle up in front of the open fireplace in winter, you will feel miles away from the stress and hustle of life in your Clare Valley sanctuary yet a stones throw from many wineries.
Staying here you may even see Andrew rounding up a mob of sheep with working dogs out the window. Wildlife and Birdlife is spectacular, sheep grazing, roo’s, deer, kookaburra’s and much more.
Only 3km’s to the famous Riesling Trail too. Walks can be taken to the top of Mt Oakden which spans views over vineyards from Clare to Auburn and in the other direction from Balaklava Plains to St Vincent’s Gulf.
