Great vineyard location. We had big room right next to the vines! As part of the stay there is a complementary wine tasting and a shared hot tub! E-bike hire is available to explore the multiple vineyards in Gibbston. Restaurant on site is good - but closes quite early - however grazing boxes are available or there is an oven/ hob in the rooms

Loved our stay at Kinross cottage. Room was beautiful as was the view. Bathroom spacious with great water pressure. Ducks rabbits and birds added natural beauty to this location. View was gorgeous! Pear and blue cheese pizza and wine tasting were excellent!

Love the little wood cottage vibe very much, the size of the cottage is good and they have everything you need. Sunset time strolling around the vineyard and pond is superb too.

We were arriving after check in hours and the key wasn't in the key safe box as they had messaged it would be. Fortunately there was a private catering event happening and the asst manager tracked down the key.
We were in Ruins and the lodge is at the end of the property. V quiet with rabbits having a lovely timealla round. The room was large with a lot of wasted space and would have benefitted from this being filled with a bigger table than the tiny one currently in there. We didn't partake in eating there or any of the wine activities. It was probably not worth the price they charge.
