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.
As self-proclaimed experts of finding the world's best winery hotels, we honestly can say that very few rise to the same level as the outstanding Gibbston Valley Lodge and Spa. With its exceptional location in Otago it offers the most tranquil and romantic atmosphere. We had pleasure of staying in one of their 24 luxurious rooms, and it was beyond magical. The staff is world class, the breathtaking views of the vineyards is unbeatable and the fantastic local food and wine is something we still dream about.
From the moment we arrived to Towan House at Carrick Winery we were captivated by its magical beauty and warm hospitaly. The on-site vineyard is a masterpiece, and the estate wines left us speechless. The rooms exude elegance with thoughtful details, and the culinary pairings were simply unforgettable. If you seek an immersive, indulgent getaway in wine country, this is the ultimate choice!
Not long ago, we had the absolute pleasure to stay a couple of nights at Cottages at Kinross. 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 14 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!
