Dear Sporty Spice Tumbleweed Cottage Guests,
Please note the following from the Riesling Trail Committee please;
Section closure. Large sections still open.
Closure of the Riesling Trail from 10 November to 10 December at Quarry Road bridge
Please note that the Riesling Trail will be closed at Quarry Road bridge from Tuesday 10 November until Tuesday 8 December. The existing bridge will be removed and a wider bridge installed 4 weeks later.
For road traffic, Quarry Road will be blocked either side of the bridge from 9am to 3pm on Tuesday 10 November to remove the existing bridge. Four weeks later, on Tuesday 8 December, this section of Quarry Road will be blocked from 9am to 3pm to install the new bridge.
For Riesling Trail users, if travelling south from Clare you will need to exit the trail through the Clare Showgrounds to Horrocks Highway. Continue south along Horrocks Highway to Quarry Road (approx. 1 km) and re-join the Riesling Trail via the track to the right immediately after you pass under the bridgeway on Quarry Road.
If travelling north from Sevenhill, leave the trail via the track to the right just before Quarry Road, then travel west on Quarry Road (under this bridgeway) to Horrocks Highway. Travel north on Horrocks Highway and return to the Riesling Trail via the Clare Showgrounds opposite the Visitor Information Centre (corner of Spring Gully Road).

“A perfect place to get away from it all, lovely and clean, with wine on arrival and lovely breakfast provisions! Very short walk to the General Store and the Watervale Hotel which has fantastic food and wine (gorgeous beer garden). Easy access to Riesling trail and all the comforts you need away from home. Thank you Richard and Rasa we hope to be back soon!!’”
Hey! Ta Chantale sooo glad you stayed and chilled out in Watervale.

“We had a fantastic time sitting by the fire place, nestled in amongst the vineyards. Great base location for a Clare Valley food & wine adventure!” Tom

“What a find! Amazing place, feels like a home rather than a vacation stay. As described in the pictures. The little extras only enhanced the experience. And on a cold & wet day, the wood fire was much appreciated. Great location for exploring the Clare Valley & Burra. Make sure to visit the Shut the Gate winery just down the road.” Anne

Thankyou Anne for choosing to stay at our little cottage in the country. Much appreciated.

The Watervale Hotel has reopened with a bang! Great food, beer and of course great local wines. Just a gentle stroll up the road from Tumbleweed Cottage.
