LikedRoom feels new, everything was just as we dreamt it will be! We used the hot tub as well, as you got 2 in different 'locations' (private space between them) There was complementary wine tasting that was short and on point. We tasted very good wines! Thank you!
DislikedWe felt the booking for the hot tub is too much of hotel-ish but they tried to solve a problem which i don't have a solution for.. You can ask as many 45 mins as you like, but it just feels different than just access the hot tub.
LikedThe property itself was lovely, tranquil, and romantic. Rooms were super clean and comfy. The food at the lodge restaurant was excellent. The staff members (all of them) were truly exceptional. Welcoming, kind, and thoughtful people. The evening wine tasting was superb. Our host was engaging and very knowledgeable about all of the wines from the region. She made us feel welcome.
DislikedMinor issue, the TV in our villa could not be seen comfortably from our bed.
LikedThe property was fabulous from check in to check out. All the staff were extremely friendly and very welcoming. The room was well appointed with lots of little fine touches such as a candle and matches by the bath. The wine tasting was fun to do, the food in the restaurant was delicious, we ate in there both nights and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I had a facial in the spa which was the best I’ve had in a long time. We were sad to leave and would happily have spent a few more days there exploring the vineyards and relaxing. But I have to say the staff made it! Thank you for looking after us so well, we will be back!
DislikedAbsolutely nothing!
LikedLoved the lodge it was very comfortable, clean and perfect for our Xmas stay. Food was good and service was excellent
DislikedThe only thing that would be nice is a pool and some activities for kids but it was wonderful nonetheless
LikedStunning lodge. First class facilities and great service. Amazing massage from Rafaela & just a beautiful spa experience
LikedEverything! Exceptional property, wonderful food and drink, lovely and engaging staff. Hot pools are awesome on a gorgeous sunny winter day.
DislikedNot one thing.
LikedThe breakfast was great and the meals my wife and I had at dinner were fabulous. Every member of their team was terrific. We wanted to find something different, out of Queenstown but with good access to the snow fields and Arrowtown, and Gibbston Valley Lodge was perfect.
