The ultimate guide to all the wine hotels in Otago, New Zealand. We've carefully selected only the top-rated hotels that has its very own vineyard or winery.
For a long time we had been trying to find availability at the Gibbston Valley Lodge and Spa, and when we finally succeeded we definitely weren't disappointed. It's an absolutely incredible adults-only hotel, set in the most perfect location in Otago! We really loved everything. From the gorgeous suite we had, to the photogenic surroundings with beautiful views wherever we looked. But in our opinion the main highlight was the exceptional winery restaurants serving gourmet food and unforgettable dishes. We only wish we had booked a longer stay.
Not long ago, we had the absolute pleasure to stay a couple of nights at Towan House at Carrick Winery. A stunning boutique hotel embedded in vineyards and some of the most beautiful landscapes of Otago. Waking up to the endless vineyard views and sipping exquisite estate wines on our private terrace - was everything we hoped for and more. The 1 rooms are warm and cozy, and the staff treats you like family. If you crave an authentic, indulgent wine-country experience, this is the place!
Jump on a flight to New Zealand, check-in to the distinguished Cottages at Kinross and let the vacation begin! By having the mountains as closests neighbours it has one of the most stunning locations we've seen. But this hotel offers so much more than just a strikingly setting. How about world-class service, absolutely fantastic variety of wine packages and 14 suites that will blow your mind. Highly recommended!
