What You’ll Love…
The Location – A working farm with a fascinating history
Become a part of history with a stay at Bungaree Station. Dating back to 1841, Bungaree was established by the Hawker brothers in 1841 as the headquarters of an extensive property, home to 100,000 merino sheep. Run almost like a small village, Bungaree once boasted a homestead, shearers’ quarters, wool-shed, station store and more.
These days it is an efficient working farm, run by fourth and fifth generations of the Hawker family and home to a selection of cosy holiday cottages. The heritage-listed buildings at Bungaree Station have been repurposed to offer modern accommodation for holidaying couples, groups or families in the region.
Stay amidst sprawling grounds, offering an outdoor swimming pool, plenty of space for walking, a farm shop and plenty of animals that children (and the young at heart) will enjoy meeting.
The Cottages – Two-Bedroom upgrade available for families
Perfect for two, the Stallion Box began as a stable and has now been transformed into a self-contained cottage with one bedroom, a wood fire, kitchenette, en suite and verandah with outdoor seating and BBQ. Take more time to relax on your final day with a leisurely noon check-out guaranteed.
Family Upgrade: Heritage buildings that once accommodated the property’s staff have now been converted into two-bedroom cottages that are ideal for families and sleep four people, with one queen bed and two single beds.
Deluxe Upgrade: Deluxe two-bedroom cottages offer even more space for groups of four to relax, with the option of adding a fifth guest (see ‘Fine Print’ for surcharges). Benefit from two queen beds, a second bathroom and a full kitchen with lounge space — ideal for two couples.
The Inclusions – Daily breakfast provisions and a bottle of local wine
Get a taste for the region with a bottle of local Clare Valley wine waiting in your cottage on arrival (three-night stays will receive two bottles of wine).
