Come and stay among the vines in a peaceful, spacious and modern ensuite room with a view of the mountains. You will have your own private place with a separate entrance and your own bathroom and kitchenette. The suite has just been renovated in a contemporary atmosphere and is fully equipped. Spa bath, Netflix and a breakfast basket. There is everything for a romantic escape!The place is heated through the floor and we provide electric blanket, soap, towels and anything you might need!
We both enjoy the many walks mountain bike rides and skiing. We are both into are health with the odd day off in the winery's and local establishments. We are 300m off the areas bike trail.
You will be surrounded by vineyards, are on the bike trail and close to a stop of the hop on/hop off bus to visit the wineries. We have also got great cafes and a pub close by. A 10mn drive to Arrowtown and 20min to Queenstown. From the room you will have a great view of Coronet peak and The Remarkable mountains which are also our closest ski field.
