Tarnma accommodation from NZ$129

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

Old cottage, fire, exactly what you would expect. Nice!

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!!!
