About this property

Up in the mountains!!! Luxury self contained unit.

This semi detached home is situated on 5 acres above the Gibbston Valley - Queenstowns award winning wine growing area.

The unit is fully self contained with your warmth, comfort and privacy in mind. Designed to give you privacy inside and outside plus the added bonus of amazing views. Top quality beds and linen to match with down mattress toppers to keep you warm on even the coldest night. Outside sitting area to take in those starry nights or beautiful days - with brazier (weather permitting) and bbq.

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.

For winter sport fans we are within 45 minutes drive to Cardrona, Coronet Peak and The Remarkable ski fields.

For peace and tranquility come and visit us in this beautiful mountain setting - bet you won't want to leave.
