Locality

The beautiful and historic town of Watervale is nestled in the middle of the Clare Valley. Quince Cottage has wonderful views of the valley and is walking distance from the local hotel, antique shops, and stores.

Quince provides great tranquility and is very private, however you are walking distance from four fine wineries and the Riesling Trail.

You need never leave the cottage to have a wonderful time in the Clare Valley.
