Fantastic stay at a property that was just as described. Lovely hosts who have thought ahead and provided everything you need for a comfortable stay. Very communicative by email before we got there, with point-by-point directions that made it easy to find even at night in this rural area. Since this holiday property is attached to their own house, the hosts were easily accessible but happy enough to leave us be.

Extremely peaceful location, and the corner location of the unit provides a beautiful an even prettier panoramic view than expected. Very clean. Very comfy bedding, with a cloudlike bed. You can control the heat in the bedrooms. Underfloor heating in bathroom and kitchen/dining/living room makes a big difference in a climate like this. Cozy living room setup with wood stove and plenty of firewood. Modern kitchen with basic ingredients and plenty of crockery. Useful to have full-sized washer and dryer with several types of laundry soap provided.

Gibbston is a rural area with several wineries that also have restaurants and quaint little stores. The nearest big grocery store is in Queenstown. Get groceries before you go, because once you get there, you won't want to leave.

We stayed for 5 nights but could have stayed a month. Well-located for skiing the Remarks, Coronet Peak and even Cardrona.
