WARBRICK COTTAGE - Finalist (Top 15 in the country) Bookabach HomeAway Bach of the Year 2020.
Warbrick stone cottage is a beautifully restored original Historic Goldminers cottage Belonging to Samuel Warbrick dating back to 1864. Set in the heart of Gibbston Valley with 360 degree mountain views of the Nevis Bluff, Mt Rosa and Waitiri station the cottage provides a peaceful, private and relaxing base to explore the surrounding area.
The cottage interior is a studio type layout, with living room and kitchenette and a separate sleeping area that is partly divided off by the kitchenette/wardrobe.
There is a separate bathroom adjacent to the bedroom area. The bathroom is spacious with separate shower, sink, toilet and full bath.
The bedroom area features a queen bed and you walk through to the lounge, dining and kitchenette area.
The kitchen features a stove top and microwave combo oven. Fridge, kettle and toaster. All crockery and cutlery for self catering and a BBQ outside.
The living area has a sofa bed that converts to a double bed and full linen is supplied.
Cuddle up in front of the warm cosy fire, relax and unwind with your favourite local wine or sit out in cottage style garden.
Easy Walking distance to 4 local wineries and evening dining.
Situated directly on the Gibbston Bike Trail you can bike to the Wineries, Gibbston Tavern, Kinross, Cargo Brewery, Gibbston Valley winery and Lodge, AJ Hacket Bungy bridge and beyond. The trail continues directly onto the Queenstown Trails to Arrowtown and Queenstown from the door.
Gibbston is 10 minutes drive to Arrowtown and 20 minutes to Queenstown Airport.
Cromwell and Bannockburn are 20mins drive.
Wanaka is 40mins either via the Crown Range or by going through Cromwell.
The cottage is easy access to all activities in and around Queenstown and very handy to the many ski fields in both Queenstown and Wanaka in the winter.
