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.
New Zealand has several outstanding winery hotels - which can make the decision a bit difficult to choose. So let's make it easier for you! Because the phenomenal Gibbston Valley Lodge and Spa is definitely one of our all time favourite hotels. Especially when you want to combine gourmet food, world-class service from super attentive staff, and stunning suites. The hotel surely deserves it's high rating and it's no surprise why so many guests return each year. Highly recommended!
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!
The combination of a small-scale boutique hotel with its own fantastic vineyard is exactly what we look for when searching the perfect wine experience. And the gorgeous Cottages at Kinross is no exception! The hotel is located in breathtaking settings in Otago and features a collection of 14 amazing suites. We love it!
