The terrace is what makes this place special. We also used the firepit. Felt great to be outside that traffic and human jams of Queenstown and super close to the Gibbston Valley and Bannockburn. We totally recommend the walk around the badlands landscape made by the gold dredging tailings there, but it is on farmland and sometimes closed for lambing. It felt like being in the Alabama Hills of the Sierra Nevada - a John Ford / Quentin Tarantino landscape in a NZ register.
