Guest reviews· 9.4/10 (177)

Gibbston Valley Lodge and Spa consistently receives high praise from guests, who frequently describe it as a luxurious and comforting escape in a stunning setting. Many reviewers highlight the friendly and accommodating staff, alongside the spacious and comfortable rooms, often leading to intentions of returning for future stays or special occasions like anniversaries. The location near Queenstown is also a significant draw, offering a relaxing environment and opportunities for activities like electric bike rides and enjoying local wines.

While the accommodation and overall guest experience are overwhelmingly positive, with many guests recommending it for those seeking to "spoil yourself a little," some feedback suggests there's room for improvement in specific areas. One reviewer, while appreciating the "great accommodation," noted that "as a winery, it has a lot to learn." This indicates that while the lodge and spa services excel, the core winery experience might not always meet the high expectations set by the luxurious lodging. Nevertheless, the consensus remains that Gibbston Valley offers a fantastic and memorable retreat.
