Battunga Homestead: Property Photography in Watervale

A colourful Watervale homestead, photographed and filmed for Ray White, from its art-filled rooms to the gardens and grounds.

A lot to take in at Battunga

Battunga isn’t short on character. I headed to Watervale for Ray White to photograph the homestead, with its red lounge, blue dining room, book-lined study and artwork just about everywhere you look.

Alongside the property photography, the job included drone images, video and floor plans. There was plenty to cover outside the main house too, with gardens, a separate dwelling and a studio.

Plenty of colour inside

Red walls, stained glass and an ornate red-and-gold bed. There was no shortage of detail here, but I still needed to show how the rooms fit together.

I photographed the wider spaces as well as the artwork and furniture, working through the lounge, dining room, study and bedrooms. The white kitchen and plant-filled sunroom were a change of pace, with the long veranda taking things back outside.

    The location

    Watervale, South Australia

    The coverage

    Interiors, gardens, outbuildings, drone stills and property video.

    The gallery

    20 selected photographs from this assignment.

    Out in the gardens

    I worked through the stone courtyard, garden paths and outbuildings as well as the main house. There were more rooms in the separate brick dwelling, canvases and work tables in the studio, and a photo of the owners together on the front steps.

    From above, the drone photographs show how the buildings sit among the gardens and surrounding countryside. The set includes daylight views and a twilight aerial.

    Before the camera comes out

    If you’re getting a place ready, my property photography preparation guide runs through what to sort before the shoot. For a very different property, have a look at these units in Victor Harbor.

    Faqs

    Frequently asked questions

    Send me the location, the buildings and rooms you need covered, and when you need the photos. Let me know if you’d like drone images, video, floor plans or twilight photos as well.
    Yes. Let me know what needs to be included, whether that’s a studio, shed, separate dwelling or the gardens. We’ll allow time for those areas and make sure they’re accessible on the day.
    They’re useful for showing where the buildings sit, the access and the surrounding land. I use them alongside the ground-level photos, not instead of them. There’s more on when they help in my guide to drone photography for property.
    Clear benches and floors, make the beds, open blinds and make sure I can get into the rooms we’re photographing. Outside, tidy the areas you want shown and move vehicles where practical. My preparation checklist covers the rest.
    I pay attention to camera height, angles and perspective when I shoot and edit. The photos need to show the space clearly without making it look like a different room when someone walks in.
    Yes. Floor plans were part of the Battunga job. Let me know which buildings and levels need to be included so I can allow for them when quoting and planning the shoot.
    They can be useful for showing a different side of the exterior, particularly with the lights on. We’ll need to plan around the timing, access and weather. I’d still include daylight photos to show the property and grounds clearly.
    Yes. Tell me what you’d like the video to cover and where you’ll use it. I can plan the photography and filming together, as I did for Battunga.

    (BnB Photography & Videography) Corey was an absolute pleasure to work with, incredibly communicative, personable, and genuinely professional from start to finish. He has a natural talent for capturing the true essence of every shot, both in photography and videography. His eye for detail and ability to bring a space to life through his lens is exceptional. I couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for someone reliable, skilled, and easy to work with, Corey is the one. Highly recommend!

    Corey captured the most special day of our lives perfectly! He accepted our last minute booking, was diligent in organising the shots that were required, and delivering the most incredible album for us to remember the day by. We cannot recommend him enough!

    Couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, Corey from Shameless Visuals made our wedding day feel relaxed and fun while still capturing everything perfectly. The photos are incredible — a mix of candid moments, creative shots, and those timeless images you actually want to hang on the wall. If you’re looking for Adelaide wedding photography that’s genuine, stress-free, and beautifully edited, this is the guy. Every detail was covered — from getting-ready shots to the dance floor chaos — and the turnaround time was super quick. Easily one of the best wedding photographers in Adelaide, and I’d recommend them to anyone who wants natural, professional photos without the awkward poses.

    I had a wonderful experience working with Corey for my graduation photos. The photos turned out natural, beautiful, and minimal, just the way I wanted. He guided me with the poses I had shown him beforehand and made sure I felt comfortable during the shooting. The edits were perfect, and he was very attentive to my requests, which made me really happy with the final results. I truly appreciate his effort, and I’d highly recommend him!

    I couldn't be happier with the images captured at our Awards dinner over the weekend. Our guests and the venue were beautifully shot and the result is a wonderful collection of special images we will all treasure. Cory was so easy to work with, he was always available to answer any of my questions, arrived ahead of time, was professional and able to capture the evening in an intimate and warm way. I'm already booking him for our event next year!
