River Rock Estate

Cromwell

River Rock Estate is a 1-hour drive from Queenstowns main ski fields, Coronet Peak and The Remarkables Ski Area. It is a 40-minute drive from Queenstown Airport. It is adjacent to the Wooing Tree Vineyard. The room and the property are so amazing and beautiful, exactly like the photos. We were very happy when we checked into our beautiful accommodation. The wine tasting at night was a great way to meet other people staying there. We had such a good time talking to the other guests and the hosts Graeme and Jan-Marie who are so welcoming and friendly, it was a really lovely time. We also booked a hot tub for the second night and WOW how amazing it was when we walked in, all the little added extras just made the whole experience so romantic. We definitely will be back to try the others!! Thanks so much Graeme and Jan-Marie for making our trip one will always remember ❤️

Camp Estate by Larnach Castle 5 stars

Dunedin

Situated 500 metres from the gates of Larnach Castle, Camp Estate offers modern rooms with views of the surrounding countryside and toward the harbour. Guests enjoy free Wi-Fi and a cooked breakfast each morning. The rooms are very luxurious with beautiful amenities. The bath tub was huge, great views from the property. The staff were incredibly helpful & kind. I did not realize breakfast was included so that was a nice surprise to have a home cooked breakfast to order. We stayed for 2 nights. Thank you so much. Also the pillows and bed were 10/10 comfy!
