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!!
The property and accommodation was absolutely perfect.Spotless and fantastic provisions.Loved our stay Highly recommend.Great location, stunning grounds.
Merry Moose is perfectly presented and Julie ensures your stay is more than comfortable. The property is spacious and was perfect for two couples. We really enjoyed our stay and all the little extras provided. Thank you!
We love staying at merry moose so central for all our walks and wineries plus great restaurant UPPside just 500meters south with great food and they do takeaway but merry moose has great provisions so fantastic and the wood fire is great when it’s cold but there is aircon too it’s a relaxing house lots of games too
We stayed for a weekend get away and on arrival we were greeted with the most amazing property with chilled vibes and relaxing atmosphere.We were pleasantly surprised with the breakfast items supplied and how well the shelves were stocked. One of the best places we have stayed at in a while.We all agreed it's worth another visit!!!
Fabulous stay at the Merry Moose. Great location. Property is as described. Fireplace was lovely this time of year. Thanks for the added extras which were appreciated.
Such a great property which was exactly like the photos. The house was so clean and we loved all the touches. Amazing host. Looking forward to coming back.
A very memorable stay at Merry Moose.
Every detail was perfect – the location, the warmth, the feel, the personality, the quality furnishings & linens, the fireplace in ready-to-go set up and how well-appointed the kitchen is.
We very much appreciated the special touches, we'll definitely be back....
The Merry Moose is above and beyond our expectations. It’s in a great spot, the hosts have thought of everything.We used - Clare Valley Wine tours ( card is in merry moose ) for a tour - very very knowledgeable Graeme Bright
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.
We loved our stay at the Merry Moose! Beautiful home in a lovely and handy location. Breakfast supplies are also a lovely touch. The fireplace was very special for those chilly nights!
