We stayed here with another couple. Leading up to the stay Lynne was communicative and friendly. When we arrived the place and views were beautiful and Lynne was very accommodating without being intrusive. I honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough! We had a fantastic time and would definitely come stay again!
The location is in a perfect central location to enjoy Queenstown, Gibbston, and Cromwell areas. The unit is fully equipped to provide a luxurious stay and enjoy the vista views. The hosts are truly amazing to give you the full New Zealand experience.
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!
Fabulous place and stunning location, just perfect for exploring the area; lovely friendly hosts; gorgeous modern cozy accommodation and super comfortable and easy to stay in.
This is a truly wonderful place to stay...
Quiet, peaceful, panoramic views and all the amenities you could hope for...
Thank you to Lynne and Tony our hosts who made our stay five stars!

Wow what a beautiful spot, the house the views were all five stars
The house was so comfortable, incredibly warm even though it was minus 5 outside, the view morning and evening stunning will definitely be staying again when we are next down that way
We retuned for another great stay at Lynne and Tony’s beautiful property at Gibbston. Peaceful and quiet location with great views of the mountains and upper valley. Property is immaculately presented with everything needed for a stay away from home.
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!
Lynne was super easy to deal with & very helpful.
We absolutely loved staying in this magical place. It is luxurious and the property is stunning with amazing scenery. There is so much attention to detail which made us feel very welcome. It is right in the heart of vineyard country and biking trails. Would love to stay again.
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.
We had a great time at this venue. Tucked into the hills amongst the vineyards and a short drive to Queenstown and surrounding sights and delights.
Wonderful host, who kept us informed of local goings on and things to try. Very amicable and thoughtful.
Would recommend!

A lovely place to stay just outside Queenstown. Beauriful scenery & very comfortable accomodation.
We loved staying here. It was our last stop before heading home & a very relaxing & comfortable place. Two nights was not quite enough! Some lovely touches to make it a memorable experience. If we come back to the area we’d definitely return here. Thank you Lynn & Tony

We so enjoyed every aspect of our stay at this beautiful property. From Lynne’s very kind welcome to all the thoughtful touches throughout her home. The comfy beds, underfloor heating and fire lit for our arrival, all much appreciated for our winter stay. The location can’t be beat, with gorgeous views to the mountains and so close to the wineries. Only downside was that we could only stay 2 nights! Thank you Lynne for your hospitality and we hope to return some time in the future.
The property is beautiful with high end finishes. Lynne and Tony have thought of everything including delicious fruit and nut slices for our arrival. Beryl and Cheryl (pet pigs) are hilarious and really enjoy a treat or two. The outlook was spectacular but an easy drive to facilities. Would definitely recommend.

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.
