In the heart of the old copper-mining town of Burra, two hours north of Adelaide, a terrace of miners' cottages built from 1848 has been restored as self-contained heritage accommodation. Thirty-two cottages sit among gardens and parkland at the edge of the Clare Valley wine region, each keeping its original stone bones while carrying contemporary fit-outs. Guest barbecue facilities and a function space round out a precinct that reads as living heritage rather than a museum piece, with cafes and shops a short walk away.
