You can experience breathtaking lake and mountain views from every room. The most beautiful and luxurious stay I had on my whole trip to New Zealand. The views are spectacular and the grounds stunning. Would give everything a 10/10 including the breakfast, and the friendly helpful staff.

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 ❤️

Burn Cottage Retreat 4 stars

Cromwell

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. A retreat it is! This is one of if not the best self-catering places I’ve been at. Cozy, comfortable, clean and has everything one needs. Even, home-made cookies. I had a wonderful welcome by Gill and Noel and they were happy to help with everything. The surroundings are wonderful, don’t miss their garden, it’s wonderful. I did not want to leave the place. I wish I could have stayed more than the two nights booked.

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!
