 Kinross Cottages 

Vines beneath the stars

A quaint cottage-style hideaway with a scenic valley setting and a warm, homely feel.

This enchanting hideaway sits tucked among Kinross’ thriving Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir vines, with jaw-dropping views of the rugged mountains stretching far out beyond. It’s the definition of pure relaxation, placing you right in the heart of Gibbston’s celebrated natural beauty. If you’re all about getting up close with the great outdoors, you’ve definitely struck gold. Wine lovers will be in their element thanks to a menu of perfect pours, while more adventurous types can head out and explore the surrounding trails and scenic routes. It’s the reset from reality you’ve been aching for, all set beneath the celestial skies of the Kawarau Gibbston Dark Sky Park.

Why we love Kinross Cottages

  • The location is completely breathtaking, letting you truly revel in nature’s beauty.

  • Gourmet breakfast boxes are delivered straight to your room, so there’s no need to venture out for a fuel-up.

  • Your very own private hot tub means you can sink right into its bubbly depths and soak up those sensational Southern Sky vistas, all with a vino in-hand!

  • There are hosted wine tasting sessions, so you can wrap your tastebuds around the produce of the vineyard.

Head chef Franklin hails from the UK, but he loves nothing more than celebrating the authentic flavours of New Zealand’s flourishing wildlife. It’s a relaxed dining experience from 11AM onwards, showcasing a menu of premium local meats and flavour-packed regional produce. Whet your appetite with scrumptious sharing platters and wash it all down with a well-rounded wine overlooking the tapestry of sun-lit vines.
