Recommended local attractions and activities:

• There are a wide range of wineries to visit, including Sevenhill Cellars (oldest vineyard in the Clare Valley), Mt Surmon (great view, platters and art gallery), Knappstein (brewing beer on site as well), Skillogallee (lunches and platters in a lovely setting) and Paulett Wines (panoramic views, award winning aged Riesling). Most are located on scenic drives with some great pubs and cafes along the way - ask us for a map.

• Explore the local markets for food, art and crafts. There is usually one or more markets on each Saturday in the local area, in Clare, Sevenhill, Burra or Riverton - just ask us.

Wild Saffron in Clare also does fantastic coffee and has a range of gourmet produce for sale, while Mathies Butchers stocks a range of local meats including saltbush mutton.
• Spend half a day at Mintaro - children will enjoy the hedge maze, and Martindale Hall is well worth a visit, before stopping for lunch, perhaps at Reilly's cellar door or the Magpie & Stump pub.

As well as several conservation parks nearby, those who are feeling energetic can hike along the Heyson and Mawson trails, perhaps climbing up Mt Bryan, before recovering with a meal at one of Burra's great bakeries or restaurants.
• Visit the local conservation reserves and lookouts, or go bushwalking or bike riding through Wirrabarra and Bundaleer Forests.
