Gibbston
Dark Skies Queenstown
Station yourself among Queenstown’s finest vineyards with a stay at this architecturally-designed pad offering stunning views from every room. You can see vines and mountains from this top spot, which also has romantic interiors designed by Katie of Waitaki Home Styling. This place is a two-bedder, which is perfect for two couples, as the bedrooms are privately located at opposite ends of the house, each with their own ensuite and balcony access.
Hire some bikes and go on a wine tasting tour if you fancy. Peregrine Wines, Mt. Rosa Wines, Kinross Cellar Door, and Gibbston Valley Winery are close by. And if you love a spot of stargazing, this is the place for you, as it’s located under the Kawarau Gibbston Dark Sky Park—a designated area recognised for its extraordinary starry nights and commitment to preserving a night sky free from light pollution. Even better, this New Zealand stay has an outdoor hot tub that heats up to 40 degrees, so you can enjoy the night sky while feeling warm and toasty and clutching a glass of the vino you sampled earlier.
