This was a wonderful property to stay in. Many thoughtful touches, a beautiful location and lovely garden. It is also the only holiday home that I’ve known to have a coffee machine, grinder and beans, which were very welcome.

Overall this is a very pleasant place to stay. Well appointed, well furnished, modern, lovely garden, great views. Some suggestions - breakfast is no longer provided but perhaps a bottle of local wine and/ or some nice chocolate would be appreciated. Also some personal suggestions on what’s available in the area besides the usual travel brochures. Maybe even a webpage with all sorts of info.

Ernie's Acre was a perfect stay for 2 couples plus a fur baby. House was superb with everything you could need including a gate to ensure fur baby did not wander. Communication with Sue was quick and easy. Oh, and the views from the deck were just sublime. Would definitely stay again - thanks Ernie's Acre!

There is an instant sense of calm and relaxation on arrival. As you step out onto the deck looking down on the tree studded town and out across the valley to the green vine covered hills beyond, you just want to take in slow, deep breaths of fresh country air. Everything feels spacious and open: from the acre of land with its little wishing well and Aussie windmill, budding orchard and sprouting vineyard to the generous rooms with vaulted ceilings and large windows providing views in all directions and glimpses of the cleverly decorated garden and landscape. The place is new and modern with quality finishes and thoughtful touches reflecting an eye for the aesthetic. We visit the Clare Valley frequently and this accommodation is an excellent base from which to venture out and explore the wineries and restaurants or to walk or ride the Riesling Trail. We look forward to enjoying the tranquil ambience of Ernie’s Acre again. Thank you, Sue!
