Overview

Nestled on the Horrocks Highway 9 km north of Auburn and 15 km south of Clare, Watervale sits in the heart of the Clare Valley’s Riesling sub‑region. The town is framed by small wineries, historic 19th‑century buildings such as the former Stanley Grammar School‑now a boutique B&B‑and the Lavender Federation Trail that climbs Mount Horrocks for 360° views, while the Riesling Trail follows the disused Spalding railway line for cyclists and walkers.

Residents enjoy a modest commercial strip with a post office, bakery‑café, hotel, primary school and a Uniting church, plus the newly completed community hub “The Vale”. Sporting and social life centres on the Soldiers’ Memorial Park’s tennis courts, cricket club and bowling green, and a mix of private B&Bs, holiday cottages and restored heritage homes provide diverse housing options within walking distance of the trail and local winery.
