- Luxury vineyard accommodation
- An exclusive sanctuary in splendid isolation, Central Otago
- Go on a wine tour and learn more about viticulture
Boasting down-to-earth luxury in an isolated location, the property is an ideal place to be together in the heart of nature. Enjoy open-plan living, a king-size bed, an open fireplace, kitchen and outdoor patio. Open up the large doors and let nature in. Play tennis or indulge in a wine tour and learn more about viticulture.
A wine lover’s haven. Pinot Noir at its best
Central Otago was booming with gold in the 1860s, today the gold has been replaced with wine. This region holds the driest climate in the South Island. Featuring a vast brown landscape, snow-capped mountains, crystal blue rivers, deep gorges and tussock-clad hills. With vineyards scattered throughout, it’s the perfect place to go vineyard hopping!
As well as tasting wine, the region has plenty of action-packed activities to choose from. The 152-kilometre Central Otago Rail Trail is impressive. Following an old railway, you can soak up the spectacular landscape, cycling from station to station. Or feel a little spine-tingle with a cruise down Clutha River on a jet boat.
