Up in the mountains!!! Luxury self contained unit.

This semi detached home is situated on 5 acres above the Gibbston Valley - Queenstowns award winning wine growing area.

The unit is fully self contained with your warmth, comfort and privacy in mind. Designed to give you privacy inside and outside plus the added bonus of amazing views. Top quality beds and linen to match with down mattress toppers to keep you warm on even the coldest night. Outside sitting area to take in those starry nights or beautiful days - with brazier (weather permitting) and bbq.

In Gibbston there are a range of tasting rooms to enjoy as well as cycle and walking tracks. And of course the famous Kawerau bungy bridge (the first commercial bungy operation) is just 5 minutes away. Definately worth a look!!

We are 10 minutes drive from historic Arrowtown where restaurants and bars can be enjoyed. Millbrook and the Hills golf courses are also nearby.

For winter sport fans we are within 45 minutes drive to Cardrona, Coronet Peak and The Remarkable ski fields.

Incredible stay

We stayed here with another couple. Leading up to the stay Lynne was communicative and friendly. When we arrived the place and views were beautiful and Lynne was very accommodating without being intrusive. I honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough! We had a fantastic time and would definitely come stay again!

So Welcoming and Peaceful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was a fabulous location that was so very clean, welcoming and peaceful. The property owners were so very nice and accommodating, even staying up late due to our unexpected late arrival! We enjoyed our trip very much. We hope to come to the area some day and staying here again would be on our list!

Gibbston Valley gem

We had a great time at this venue. Tucked into the hills amongst the vineyards and a short drive to Queenstown and surrounding sights and delights. Wonderful host, who kept us informed of local goings on and things to try. Very amicable and thoughtful. Would recommend!

A piece of tranquility amidst the winelands

Perfect spot to return to for a peaceful evening after a day of winelands, biking, hiking (or winter sports). Everything has been thought of - from generous supply of coffee pods to expansive windows overlooking valley and mountains beyond. Piggies, birdcall and very comfortable bedding extra bonuses. I love finding special little places like this around the world.

A slice of heaven in wine country!

We so enjoyed every aspect of our stay at this beautiful property. From Lynne’s very kind welcome to all the thoughtful touches throughout her home. The comfy beds, underfloor heating and fire lit for our arrival, all much appreciated for our winter stay. The location can’t be beat, with gorgeous views to the mountains and so close to the wineries. Only downside was that we could only stay 2 nights! Thank you Lynne for your hospitality and we hope to return some time in the future.

A very special property

This is a very special property with amazing hosts! As a family we spent two weeks in this accomodation utilising it as a base for a skiing holiday. It’s well set up for a family with everything you would expect. Beryl and Sheryl the resident pigs on the property were a huge hit with my 8 year old daughter. We will be staying again and again I’m sure!

Perfect getaway

The property is beautiful with high end finishes. Lynne and Tony have thought of everything including delicious fruit and nut slices for our arrival. Beryl and Cheryl (pet pigs) are hilarious and really enjoy a treat or two. The outlook was spectacular but an easy drive to facilities. Would definitely recommend.
