In Gibbston there are a range of tasting rooms to enjoy as well as cycle and walking tracks. And of course the famous Kawerau bungy bridge (the first commercial bungy operation) is just 5 minutes away. Definately worth a look!!

We are 10 minutes drive from historic Arrowtown where restaurants and bars can be enjoyed. Millbrook and the Hills golf courses are also nearby.

Incredible stay

We stayed here with another couple. Leading up to the stay Lynne was communicative and friendly. When we arrived the place and views were beautiful and Lynne was very accommodating without being intrusive. I honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough! We had a fantastic time and would definitely come stay again!

Spectacular

Spectacular views, unmatched serenity. Do not stay here if bright city lights are what you’re looking for - all you see here at night is millions of stars and by day you are surrounded by majestic mountain ranges. The home is very well appointed and seriously photos could never do it justice. Lynne is a gorgeous host and she even had the fire ready for us to light if we wanted it. We didn’t need extra warmth but lit the fire anyway and the glowing ambiance was the icing on the cake.

A piece of tranquility amidst the winelands

Perfect spot to return to for a peaceful evening after a day of winelands, biking, hiking (or winter sports). Everything has been thought of - from generous supply of coffee pods to expansive windows overlooking valley and mountains beyond. Piggies, birdcall and very comfortable bedding extra bonuses. I love finding special little places like this around the world.

A very special property

This is a very special property with amazing hosts! As a family we spent two weeks in this accomodation utilising it as a base for a skiing holiday. It’s well set up for a family with everything you would expect. Beryl and Sheryl the resident pigs on the property were a huge hit with my 8 year old daughter. We will be staying again and again I’m sure!

Bannockburn?

Property presented well with lovely outlook to hills. Excellent heating did not require the fire. We found the kitchen area small though well equipped, it was difficult to manage breakfast requiring using the toaster in the lounge! We also understood the property to be located in Bannockburn not the Gibbston Valley. Though the Valley is beautiful we preferred Bannockburn area.

About the host

Hosted by lynnefl2

Host profile image
Hello
Tony and I are passionate about living in this beautiful region. Tony is a keen gardener and we have been self employed for 30 years.
We love skiing in the winter, jet boating and hiking and biking around our beautiful region. When we get time off we love visiting new countries, and seeing your back yard.

Why they chose this property

We have lived in Gibbston for 15 years. 148 was just a paddock when we arrived but now we have many native and exotic trees in our garden and are enjoying seeing the bird life returning. Autumn is especially beautiful in this region with the change of season. We love being amongst the mountains and enjoy each seasons change to our scenery. We have been sharing our property with visitors for 11 years and enjoy meeting new people. We always greet you upon arrival, to show you around but after that we leave you to explore and enjoy your space in private. That being said we are always happy to have a chat over a glass of wine. You decide.

What makes this property unique

Our most unique benefit is the most amazing mountain views and sense of space , so different from city living.
The other benefit to living here is that we are centrally located to all that the region has to offer. Queenstown and Arrowtown for day trips and evening dining but also scenic day trips to Glenorchy, Wanaka, Cromwell and Bannockburn.
