Stoneridge Estate offers 5 star luxury bed and breakfast accommodation and fine dining in a tranquil setting, 15 minutes’ drive from the heart of Queenstown. You can experience breathtaking lake and mountain views from every room. Our stay at Stoneridge was little short of ideal! The grounds were simply stunning - you take a steep drive up to the resort, passing by vineyards and rose bushes. The buildings have a historic stone and wrought-iron look and truly feel like they have been there for centuries. Walk around the grounds and you might also see the very cute, peaceful chapel. The rooms were, again, stunning, with beautiful views over Lake Hayes. They were spacious and thoughtfully furnished, including the bathrooms which had his and hers sinks. On checking in, we were greeted by their very friendly staff who offered us two glasses of rose and a lovely cheese board. In short, we loved it here - it felt like pure luxury!

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. Our hosts Graeme and Jan-Marie were so welcoming. Our room was beautifully furnished and a superb continental breakfast (more than we could possibly eat) was provided in our room. BBQ on our own deck overlooking the vines and complete privacy. Use of washing/drying facilities was a godsend. And on our last evening we enjoyed a complimentary wine-tasting with no less than 8 wines and 3 ports! Such fun hearing all about the wine-making process in such good company. Thank you Graeme and Jan-Marie.

Set amongst beautiful gardens and a walnut grove, the adults-only Burn Cottage Retreat is just 6 minutes’ drive from Cromwell and 2 km from Lake Dunstan. Guests receive free Wi-Fi and a complimentary bowl of fresh walnuts from the grove upon arrival.

Surrounded by award-winning vineyards and fruit orchards, all cottages feature kitchen facilities, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with quality toiletries. The service and little touches, like the fire burning, the fresh baking on arrival, the treats and the walnuts, made our stay feel that much more special. The gardens were lovely to explore and the laundry room was a welcome surprise.

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!
