"We had a lovely stay at Reillys Wines Heritage Cottages in Mintaro. The cottage has a charming, rustic feel, and we especially loved the fireplace—it made the evenings so cosy.
The wine tasting at Reillys Wine Cellar was excellent, with some great local drops. Breakfast was a nice touch too—everything provided, including local bacon, fresh eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, fruit, juice, and milk. Very generous and much appreciated.
Parking was easy, and the location is fantastic—just a short walk to the Magpie and Stump Hotel for a meal or a drink. The whole area is steeped in history, with beautiful old cottages and churches all around. You’re also close to the rest of the Clare Valley, with its stunning scenery and some great restaurants nearby.
That said, I do think the cottage could benefit from a bit of a refurb to freshen things up—it’s full of character, but starting to feel a little tired.
Overall, it’s a great base for exploring the Clare Valley and soaking up the heritage and charm of Mintaro"
"Fabulous property in great location.
Well equipped for both short and longer stays. Grateful to find a place that accepts single night bookings...only to find I wish I had nooked for longer"
"Beautiful property, comfortable & well equipped with everything we needed. Was easy walking distance to the local pub & winery. Would definitely stay again 😀"
"Beautiful area and little touches make this a 5 star property. Potbelly stove and plenty of firewood made for a very cosy cottage on a cold night. 5 min drive to Watervale pub and plenty of wineries."
"The whole stay was amazing, the spa, fireplace, private courtyard, the comfy bed and the supplies for breakfast.
It was very affordable, close to Clare to visit the wineries and grab some lunch.
We will definitely be going back, the perfect retreat without the kids!!!"
