Fodor's Expert Review Bungaree Station

431 Bungaree Rd., Clare, South Australia, 5453, Australia Fodor's Choice

Journey back to colonial Australia at this 7,000-acre mixed cropping and sheep farm, where outlying cottages and the Heritage-listed stables beside the stone homestead have been converted into family-friendly, self-contained accommodations, and the reception area and a farm shop selling local wines and produce is located in the original station store. All rooms have air-conditioning and heating, with wood-burning fires adding winter warmth. Take time exploring the property with a self-guided tour, including the homestead gardens, a beautiful church, and Australia’s oldest working woolshed, or join the friendly owners on a 4WD tour to get a real taste of farm life.
