Lovely property well located for visiting Clare Valley wineries. Thoughtful and generous breakfast supplies and treats a lovely surprise. Happy Moose is very spacious - the aircon, bathroom heating and fire make it cosy. Enjoyed the kitchen after a couple of weeks travelling. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The Merry Moose was an amazing place to stay!Beautiful location within the Clare Valley. Not in Clare, but close enough to everything. Our tour operator for the winery tour (not part of the booking) picked us up from the front door.Spacious, clean, stylish (we loved the art work... and the Moose!).Wonderful, comfortable bed. Excellent amenities (washing machine, dryer). Large bathroom.Kitchen well-equipped, with a collection of common items that were well-maintained and fresh.Extremely thoughtful food items in the fridge - bread, milk, eggs. And a coffee machine with pods.Overall, one of the best places I've stayed at!Thank you, Merry Moose!!

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.
