A little out of town, which was perfect for us. Property was really well presented representing exceptional value for money compared to propertirs closer to town. Quiet with everything you need to have an exceptional stay.

Sensational stay for our young family, the views were amazing & the pet pigs were awesome to have around. Really nice place, super warm & the floor heating was extra special!

Thanks Susan for a lovely review - hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday !
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was a fabulous location that was so very clean, welcoming and peaceful. The property owners were so very nice and accommodating, even staying up late due to our unexpected late arrival! We enjoyed our trip very much. We hope to come to the area some day and staying here again would be on our list!
This place is awesome, so too is Lynne who showed us around, was very hospitable and friendly. The accommodation was spotless, large enough to be really comfortable and what a view! My dream property in Central Otago.

About the host
Hosted by lynnefl2
Hello Tony and I are passionate about living in this beautiful region. Tony is a keen gardener and we have been self employed for 30 years. We love skiing in the winter, jet boating and hiking and biking around our beautiful region. When we get time off we love visiting new countries, and seeing your back yard.
Why they chose this property
We have lived in Gibbston for 15 years. 148 was just a paddock when we arrived but now we have many native and exotic trees in our garden and are enjoying seeing the bird life returning. Autumn is especially beautiful in this region with the change of season. We love being amongst the mountains and enjoy each seasons change to our scenery. We have been sharing our property with visitors for 11 years and enjoy meeting new people. We always greet you upon arrival, to show you around but after that we leave you to explore and enjoy your space in private. That being said we are always happy to have a chat over a glass of wine. You decide.
What makes this property unique
Our most unique benefit is the most amazing mountain views and sense of space , so different from city living. The other benefit to living here is that we are centrally located to all that the region has to offer. Queenstown and Arrowtown for day trips and evening dining but also scenic day trips to Glenorchy, Wanaka, Cromwell and Bannockburn.
