Alice & Andrew
Hughes Park is a large historic property and homestead which was built by Sir Walter Watson Hughes back in 1845, who was the co-founder of Adelaide University, and discovered/owned the Wallaroo/Moonta Mines. Since then Hughes Park has been a sheep farming property which is now in its sixth generation with Andrew Duncan running the farm with his wife Alice and 4 children Daisy, Millie, Sophia and Tom. Hughes Park was once the home of the Old Rose Gardens/Business run by Andrew’s Uncle, Walter Duncan (5thGeneration) which has now moved down the road to Sevenhill.
Hughes Park & Sir Walter’s Cottages
The property comprises two private self-contained Bed & Breakfasts – Hughes Park Cottage which opened in 2009 and Sir Walter’s cottage which opened in 2020. Both set amongst vineyards and majestic gums on a historic Clare Valley Estate.
