Merry Moose in winter

Merry Moose is a great place to stay for a few days in the Clare Valley. Modern amenities, wood fire and all the provisions you could want, and really well located between the local settlements and wineries.Traffic noise from the adjacent main road was the only downside which might affect some, but otherwise highly recommended.

The B&B was amazing so clean huge 2 double bedrooms with enormous ensuites the living kitchen areas are amazing and the stocked pantry and breakfast supplies blue us away. A 5 minute walk to Uppside Restaurant was excellent especially the Tapas on Sunday afternoon. Also Sevenhill Hotel you can eat in the cellar and they have a shuttle bus food was excellent as well.

A very memorable stay at Merry Moose.

Excellent property with lots of space

Great property, everything literally brand new, well appointed with generous provisions and top of the range appliances. Loads of room and privacy for two couples. Only slight downside is proximity to Main North Road, which maybe an issue for light sleepers. Highly recommend and would not hesitate to book again
