Quality, new, clean e-bikes and helmets at a fair price. Good bike lock provided. The Riesling Trail is a most worthwhile, beautiful cycling trail. Allow a whole day to take it all in - plenty of wineries, cafés, villages and a great deal of history. A great business to deal with. Highly recommended. Thank you, Kent!

My best friend and I loved our experience cycling along the Riesling trail and the bike through Clare Valley Cycle Hire was excellent. The bikes were in great condition, we were provided with helmets and locks and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I would recommend hiring a bike though this company!

6. Riesling Trail

A wonderful way to explore the Clare Valley and the vineyards on foot or bike is along the Riesling Trail, a repurposed railway line, which stretches thirty three kilometres between Auburn and Barinia. Due to limited time and extreme weather conditions, high temperatures and winds, we had to cancel our half-day plans to hike south from Clare to discover the nearby countryside and vineyards. Instead we parked our car near the 'Mob of Sheep' outdoor installation and hiked south for fifteen mnutes fortunately mostly in the shade then back. Disappointing for us but on our future travel list.
7. Bungaree Station
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 95 reviews
Established in 1841, the self guided history trail around Bungaree's station complex enables visitors to explore South Australia's pioneering past through a series of signs, audioposts and displays. The history trail is available to day visitors between 10am - 4pm most days, but bookings are recommended as the property may be closed for private functions.

BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL My wife and I stayed in the Stalling Box for two nights in the beautiful Bungaree Station. The main room comprises of a queen bed, open fire and a small kitchen (which was stocked with a good range of pots, pans, utensils etc). It was a very private and quite place to chill out in. The open fire in the room was lovely and essential as the temperature outside dropped to around 0. The location was good (about 10 kms) from Clare but you need to make sure that you bring all the bits and bobs that you want as there are no shops within walking distance and none of the restaurants would deliver food to us. This was not an issue for us as we just went to the shops in the morning before our wine tastings. Bungaree Station is absolutely beautiful with lovely grounds and a myriad of animals to observe. It certainly feels like a throw back to a bygone era and has been maintained so very well. Vicki (owner) was super helpful, friendly and lovely to chat to. I'd highly recommend Bungaree Station for a couples wanting a quite relaxing get-away and for larger groups with kids. We will definitely be back but with our kids next time.

A short drive away from the town centre of Burra is the impressive Burra Railway Station, the building is a reminder of years gone by and the romance of rail travel. The original 1870 wooden station was replaced in 1883 with this stone building and an accompaning refreshment room. Burra was connected to Adelaide, Broken Hill and Perth, passenger services were discontinued in 1986 and grain transportation in 1999. After years of neglect the station was brought back to life by the very hard work of dedicated volunteers, the only building structure missing (which can be seen in photographs) is the arched roof which covered two tracks and platforms. The station is open for public viewing at select times and staffed is by volunteers. There was plenty to see and read about, the history of the station, the railway, with plenty of information boards, historical photographs and rail travel memorabilia, the volunteer was also informative. Also inside the building is a small museum showcasing the nearby Redbanks Conservation Park Diprotodon Fossil Sites and a very interesting display on the little local native animal, the Pygmy Bluetongue Lizard. Entry to the building is by donation, in the foyer were a few locally crafted/baked souvenirs available for purchase.
