In more detail

Combining a glorious setting in a vineyard-carpeted valley with luxurious accommodation and first-class hospitality, the Gibbston Valley Lodge & Spa is a magnificent place to base yourself when exploring the Central Otago region.

Its 24 villas offer a peace, quiet and fabulous vineyard views, each equipped with a private covered deck and a sun-drenched courtyard where you can kick back, relax and sip a glass of the region’s finest wine. The decor is stylish and contemporary, featuring splashes of local artwork, while the spacious bathrooms are equipped with heated floors and luxury beauty products.

In the mornings, tuck into a fresh continental buffet breakfast accompanied by a barista-made coffee, and later on, savour seasonal, sustainable and locally sourced dishes at the restaurant, whether it be freshly caught salmon from Rakiura, premium quality New Zealand lamb, or alpine venison. All dishes can, of course, be accompanied by superb local wines.

Speaking of wines, the lodge can arrange exclusive tasting sessions and vineyard tours, in which you’ll gain a deeper appreciation of the region’s finest produce. There’s also a whole host of other activities on offer to help you make the most of your experience, from mountain biking and hiking to jet boating and helicopter rides.
