We had an amzing stay at this heritage property. The cottage was nice and had everything we needed, including a fireplace. The surrounding is beautiful, the kids absolutely loved feeding the animals. The hosts are very accomodating and friendly. We'll definetly come back. It is 12 min from Clare and it's really worth the little drive to enjoy this beautiful property.

Historical stay.
Beautiful farm setting, close to the town of Clare. We stayed in the council chambers, lovely restored building. Property is lovely to walk around and explore the many buildings and church. Unfortunately on this occasion we couldn’t make use of the main bathroom and deep soak bathtub as there was a water flow issue, however enjoyed our stay all the same.

Bungaree offered a friendly welcome, very comfortable self contained accommodation and the bonus of an opportunity to learn about the history of this significant property via walking around the grounds and using listening stations at various points of interest. The property is a short drive from the Clare township but an on property store offers wine and other local products. Breakfast ingredients including fresh eggs were supplied. This is the best place to stay in Clare that we have found to date.

The history of this property compels you to investigate every building and facility on site. It is still a working farm with sheep cattle and crops. The owners have developed the property to inform and present life as it was to the present day, and it took us hours to investigate everything from the homestead to working outbuildings. Just fantastic!!!

RELAXING AT AN AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK STATION
WE STAYED IN THE STALLION'S BOX, ONE OF THE SEVERAL OUTBUILDINGS ON BUNGAREE STATION. IT WAS NEAT AND CLEAN, WELL SUPPLIED WITH UTENSILS AND FOOD. BUNGAREE STATION IS CLOSE TO CLARE AND HANDY TO A WIDE RANGE OF ATTRACTIONS IN THE WONDERFUL CLARE VALLEY. THE MANAGER WAS VERY WELCOMING AND ANSWERED ALL OUR QUESTIONS, AND, ON HER RECOMMENDATION, WE ENJOYED A RELAXING, ONE-HOUR WALK AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE STATION IN THE COOL OF THE EARLY EVENING. THE WIDE ARRAY OF OLD FARM MACHINERY, AS WELL AS THE HISTORY IN THE LARGE WOOLSHED, WERE EXTREMELY INTERESTING, AND GAVE US A MUCH DEEPER APPRECIATION FOR THE PIONEERS OF THE AUSTRALIAN BUSH.

Our local tech gurus have just rolled out the WiFi network to all our cottages except those in more secluded locations, but like you, many of our guests still want to escape from their devices while they are here!

Heritage Country Comfort with all the trimmings
The only downfall of our stay was that it wasn’t longer! Amazing heritage accomodation with every comfort provided - from a warming wood fire, heat in every bedroom & electric blankets on all beds, to full kitchen and BBQ provisions. The breakfast was substantial with eggs, bacon, cereal, toast & condiments & quaint Bungaree Station store provides a ripper coffee & local Clare Valley treats. Feeding the animals was a real treat as was spending some time with the owners - providing some of the friendliest country hospitality you could hope to expect. Our family of 7 had a wonderful stay and really can’t promote this exceptional property enough - do yourself a favour & stay at Bungaree. You won’t be disappointed!

This property is beautiful, full of history and charm. The refurbished stone buildings have been beautifully restored. They have modern amenities and are are exceptionally clean and comfortable. The historical walk around the property is well worth doing as the family has gone to great effort to provide historical information in the form of written signs, audio and some video clips. There is even a small shop where guests can buy provisions. The staff were very helpful, informative and welcoming. We would definitely stay at Bungaree Station again.

Beautifully renovated historic cottages, perfect for a group of friends or family, with spacious bedrooms, kitchen, sitting room and bathroom. There was air conditioning/heating as well as a wood fire set for us to use and generous breakfast provisions. We stayed in the Stallion Box and our friends booked a larger 3 bedroom cottage for their family. There was lots to do on the property - an audio tour, animal feeding, walking trails and a swimming pool. We had a cheese platter and wine at the farm shop, and a great coffee the next morning, before exploring local wineries.

Great to hear you and your friends enjoyed your stay at Bungaree and exploring the property. Thanks also for the fabulous comments about our newly renovated farm shop - the building was the original Station Store where staff collected their "rations" and explorers replenished their supplies, so it is great to have it as a store once again, although the produce is a little more gourmet than that available to those early pioneers! Thanks once again for your review. We hope you are able to stay again another time.

Lovely historical property.
We stayed in an apartment called the Stallion Box. When we walked in it was freezing cold. We quickly put the air conditioner (which had a preset temperature ) on. The warm air must have headed up to the raised ceiling as it made little difference in the room. There was also a wood stove. It took quite some time to get this going as there wasn’t enough small wood kindling. There wasn’t an extra blanket or electric blanket. The room and bathroom were very nicely appointed apart from the heating problems. The station is beautiful and a joy to walk around. The breakfast supplied was generous. Management was very friendly.

Thanks for providing feedback on your stay. Great that you enjoyed exploring the property but sorry to hear about the heating problems, Normally the fires are all pre-set with plenty of spare kindling both inside and outside, so we're sorry you had trouble getting the fire going. The airconditioner is usually very efficient at getting this cottage cosy warm although sometimes they reset to cool when there is a power outage so I apologise we didn't realise this prior to your stay. Thanks again for your feedback - and hope you can visit us again sometime.

You'll not find anything quite like this!
This is a stay that stands out from the crowd. A working sheep station full of history and genuine country hospitality. You probably will not be able to find anything else like this. The accommodation is in genuine historical buildings and the whole property is a living museum, with excellent information boards and audio posts around the buildings. There are plenty of farm animals around (bring plenty of veges for the horses and deer). The cottage we stayed in had a fire with wood supplied and breakfast food was provided for us to cook each day (bacon, farm eggs, orange juice, bread, cereal). And of course it is all just minutes from Clare Valley and all that this has to offer. It is hard to imagine anyone not liking this place.

Beautiful property, full of history. Needed to stay one more night to really appreciate it. Well set up with all we needed. Continental breakfast supplied was great. Really nice eggs and home cured bacon! Room was all we needed with good heating as it was pretty chilly. Original the Stallion's Box, as he needed to be kept separate from the mares. Phone reception and wifi are very weak. Not the owners fault. They are well aware. Really nice people with pride in their property and the region. Love to go back.
