We had a lovely stay at Reillys Wines Heritage Cottages in Mintaro. The cottage has a charming, rustic feel, and we especially loved the fireplaceâit made the evenings so cosy.
The wine tasting at Reillys Wine Cellar was excellent, with some great local drops. Breakfast was a nice touch tooâeverything provided, including local bacon, fresh eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes, fruit, juice, and milk. Very generous and much appreciated.
Parking was easy, and the location is fantasticâjust 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. Youâre 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 upâitâs full of character, but starting to feel a little tired.
Overall, itâs a great base for exploring the Clare Valley and soaking up the heritage and charm of Mintaro
