Sleep between the aromatic vines of the South Island

Are you a wine connoisseur or a wine lover? During your journey Down Under, engage in an exclusive local wine experience. Twenty-five minutes from Queenstown is a boutique accommodation. Set on 40 acres of pure New Zealand nature, it is a place that offers something a little out of the ordinary.

A natural organic environment

Surround yourself with mountainous backdrops, fruitful vines and tranquillity. The accommodation has all the elements to make you feel at home. Pack a picnic lunch and cycle the Queenstown Wine Trail. And end the day with a soak in the outdoor hot tub under the southern stars.

The perfect blend of wine and nature

Go on a culinary journey and discover local flavours in Gibbston Valley. Central Otago is arguably New Zealand's most desirable wine region. Taking a small-scale approach, the property produces award-winning wines, boasting complexity and intense flavour. Here, you can sample six of Central Otago’s finest wine labels. And learn about the harvesting and cultivation of grapes.

Savour local food in the wine garden. Serving fresh and seasonal produce from local growers, the on-site bistro is an ideal place to unwind together after a day of exploring. A world of wine, wood-fired pizza and expansive views. Or, if you prefer, fire up the barbecue with fresh ingredients from the local markets.
