We recently stayed at the Clare Country Club following an industry event at the nearby Clare Golf Club. Our room as a "spa room" overlooking a dry lake. It's a peaceful location, away from the main conference and reception areas, with hardly a noise and a lovely outlook from a large glass windows through trees and across the lake. The room was part of two in a stand alone building. You entered both rooms from outside into a small shared hallway and then a door into your own room. The room was large and the king bed very comfortable. It looked and smelt very clean when we arrived. The bathroom was large, the shower was powerful and there was plenty of South Australian made washes and hair treatments (from Nood at Littlehampton). A few niggles though. (Not deal breakers, but enough to take the shine off our experience). The room doors are heavy and slam loudly. When the people in our adjoining room entered and left, their doors slammed very loudly (twice - the room door and the external door). We did our best not to disturb them in the same way, but the weight and design of the doors made it near impossible. The doors need some kind of impact absorption around the frame to reduce the noise and in turn the disturbance of adjacent guests. There was a bright green light in what looked like a fire alarm in the ceiling that strongly illuminated the room. Combined with a strong green light on the air conditioner, it wasn't very dark. We had hoped that away from street and urban lights we wouldn't encounter the curse of light pollution in a hotel room. Neither of us had a restful sleep. Finally, there was nowhere to sit, other than table chairs and on the bed. The room was large enough for a small sofa, or relaxed chairs, where one could sit and read, or watch TV. In our room, we identified a couple of places where such seats could go.

The room: Clean as. This has to be the cleanest room I have ever stayed in, it's almost as though the room is brand-new. Has everything you need with a bit of space. The sauna was amazing and very close to my room. Scenery was lovely with a waddle of ducks on the lawn, that added to the charm of the place. The restaurant: I have some strange food allergies, but was pleasantly surprised by this menu. The food was totally amazing, you could taste the fresh ingredients in every single bite. I had an entree and a main, both served within 35 minutes. I had the heirloom tomato salad with whipped feta (entree) and Barramundi for the main, which was perfectly cooked and piping hot. The service was spot-on and servers attentive to everyone's needs within the dining room. 100% recommend. 5 stars without being pretentious.

Lovely stay at the Clare Country Club despite the weather. Room had been freshly renovated with luxurious inclusions. We arrived in perfect time for happy hour and had a really lovely dinner. Definitely choose the breakfast included option as the scrambled eggs and mushrooms on offer this morning among other things were beyond delicious. Would also like to do a huge shout out to Leah (sorry if incorrectly spelt) and her colleague that went above and beyond to make sure I received my almond milk latte that was perfect and really appreciated.

As travel is pretty restricted during Covid, hubby and I decided to support local for a romantic break. We booked a spa room at Clare Country Club in Clare for 2 nights hoping for a bit of luxury as is normally the case at a “country club”. The hotel is a good location for a visit to the Clare valley with easy access to the Riesling trail, local wineries and towns. On arrival I felt the room was totally underwhelming, it was dull and plain. The bed looked like one of my teenagers had made it with loose sheets and only 2 pillows. The wifi was hopeless so we gave up trying to connect which was annoying as I had a couple of quick zoom meetings I wanted to do whilst I was there. There was no streaming services, or smart capabilities on the tv so we were stuck with the usual mainstream rubbish. I have never given a negative review so far for any place I’ve stayed and would have probably let this go had I not had a pretty dreadful experience at breakfast both mornings also. I understand venues need to adjust to comply with new Covid restrictions but waiting over 1 hour to be served with breakfast was a bit much, especially when you only stay for a short time and need to cram everything in. So many people were complaining to the staff about the wait. The 2 young girls on duty did a grand job with lots of apologies and smiles but I would say to the Management - you need to look at how you are dealing with breakfasts. I understand you can’t do buffet anymore and serving everyone means more staff costs however if I had perhaps been asked to elect a time for breakfast on arrival and Covid restrictions was sited as a reason,I would have been more than happy to comply. I was advised that my room wouldn’t be serviced during my stay due to Covid and I accepted this without question. Clare Country Club in my opinion doesn’t hold up to its status as a country club. The rooms need brightened up and staff need to give a bit of attention to the little things - like putting the toilets out of order to clean for at least an hour during breakfast serving time which is surely where the majority of your guests are at that time.

Thank you for your honest feedback from your stay, we're obviously disappointed we didn't meet expectations for your stay. Breakfast over the last couple of weeks had been exceptionally popular with high demand and we have already reviewed this and implemented bookings as you have suggested. We hope to be connected to the NBN when the roll-out reaches us and apologise for the issues you had connecting. We do hope you otherwise enjoyed your getaway to Clare.

Overpriced accommodation for a basic venue with well overpriced food which is overrated as top cuisine. Only ate it because we were hungry. Should have gone to McDonalds. Management needs to be more proactive in their guests' comfort and intervene when necessary to quieten down rowdy diners at the breakfast dining event. All the other guests were just as annoyed as us and Mangement did absolutely nothing, We certainly will not be staying here again anytime in the near future. Things would need to change dramatically to entice us back.

The service at the Clare Country Club was a major disappointment. Apart from being charged an exorbitant $15 for a drink that was repeatedly cleared from the table prematurely, they also exhibited a lack of respect for a private function by interrupting speeches. The staff's initial attitude upon our arrival further soured the experience.
On top of these issues, my dietary requirements, which were pre-ordered, were consistently mishandled. Receiving the wrong food multiple times was not just an oversight but a blatant disregard for a basic customer need. This negligence is completely unacceptable, especially when it comes to something as crucial as dietary preferences or restrictions.
The continual frustration of being served incorrect meals compounded the already poor service, highlighting a severe lack of attention to detail and customer care. Considering the combined mishaps and the disregard for customer needs, I cannot, in good faith, consider returning to the Clare Country Club. Their failure to accurately fulfil basic pre-orders, alongside the disrespectful attitude and inadequate service, indicates a fundamental flaw in their approach to customer satisfaction.

This place was tired and for the price that we paid I expected the bathroom to be at least clean and the outside furniture to be dust and cob web free. The spa was a bath tub and not all jets worked and the water pressure was below par. Wifi password was not offered. Bathrobes were threadbare and falling apart and for the price you pay for the room, you'd expect an ironing board that had the padding under the cover not just the metal frame.
Not to mention that they staff when we checked out didn't even ask how our stay was.
Very disappointed and would not recommend and will never stay here again.

We stayed 1 night, we were really surprised by the state of the accommodation based on what we paid. The rate was the same as staying in some of the very good hotels in Sydney, but the quality of the room decor was really poor. Very old and tired, stained furniture, and it sounds entitled and petty and first world, but i can't remember the last time i even saw sheets with 50% polyester! On the plus side, the bathroom had been renovated and was very clean, so the problem is not the standard room cleaning or staff, but the lack of upgrading. Reception was very friendly and efficient. They didn't ask me whether everything had been fine when I checked out. Which is probably telling in itself.

I checked out of room 30 of the 1834 managed Clare Country Club today 18/08 and no major drama's. The room was prepaid. It was quiet & relatively a couple of carpet stains & the lampshades were worn. A few hours later I received a call from Steve saying my card would be charged for a replacement pump soap dispenser. I would have stayed here over 20 times and nothing like this. Last Weekend I stayed at the 1834 Mayfair no drama's other than a double charge for parking that is being sorted out. I went back to the office and asked to speak to Steve & phoned too but was told he had gone for a walk. It is not good enough. I feel absolutely astounded to be accused of taking a soap dispenser.

Thank your for your review John, we do apologise that a simple courtesy phone call regarding room amenities has resulted in a one star review, as a tourism operator in the valley you no doubt know how detrimental that can be. As advised by the front desk staff on your return to the property your card wasn't charged, nor would it be as we were waiting to hear back after you had checked with your wife. We apologise for any misunderstanding or distress caused and that Steve was at the bank and post office when you rang.

The first thing I check out in a hotel is the cleanliness of the toilet area etc and pleased to say the cleaning staff need to be acknowledged, check in and out was easy and location was as good as your going to get in Clare. The disappointment was the first impression of the furniture in the room, chipped is an understatement, I thought woodworm had got at it and for the price you pay I expected something better. The bottle of wine at checkout was a nice finishing touch.
