Quiet, cozy, charming in a gorgeous spot!

My husband, our 7-year-old and I were lucky to stay at Kinross for a week. We had the best time. This was the perfect spot to come back to after a full day of exploring. Their included breakfast was also a bonus as it was nice to get up and be able to grab such great coffee before going out! They are about 25 minutes from Queenstown, close to Arrowtown, surrounded by a number of beautiful vineyards. Make the most of it by exploring their surroundings by bike which they have for rental. The room was great; comfy bed, clean, nicely decorated and the small kitchen had everything we needed to cook our vegan dinners at the end of the day (We didn't find Queenstown that vegan friendly!) Staff was professional and friendly, always available to help if you need some local tips. Last but not least, their dog Skye was definitely one of the highlights for us. My son looked forward to playing with her every morning and it was quite sad to say goodbye! We will not hesitate to stay there when we go back to Queenstown!

Room tip: Book a couple of nights here, one night is not enough to explore their beautiful surroundings!

Date of stay: April 2018

First up... Skye has been looking for your son since you left :) Hahaha!

We are delighted to have met you all and are really pleased that you enjoyed your first Kinross experience.
Our whole goal is to be the perfect spot to retreat to after a hard day adventuring/ tasting wine/ having fun wherever & we love that it was exactly that for you all.

Biking is a GREAT way to see the area and there are tracks everywhere now! All the way from Kinross to Arrowtown & Queenstown with an abundance of awesome stops on the way. We do rent 'cruising adult bikes' which are perfect for Gibbston and for more adventurous bikers, we can easily organise mountain/ electric & childrens bikes (or baby carriers) for your stay but please contact our team prior to arrival to set this up! Please also note that we only have a few childrens bikes (courtesy of our awesome neighbours growing fast) so get in touch with our team if you would like wheels for any little dudes/dudettes.

Our breakfast- a new addition to our offering (included in all stays) in summer 17/18 seems to be going well & is developing by the week!

Thank you for taking the time to review us.
We cant wait to see you all back here.
All our best,
Team Kinross, Skye and the ducks

Peaceful Nook of Happiness

If you get here it’s because you probably have driven many kilometers. So if you are ready for some kick back time, then this is the place! Spacious cottage with hip decor. Tub for two if you can! Best high speed Wi-Fi of any lodging we experienced in NZ. And if you are reading this you know how dreadful it is in most places. Little cafe is perfect for the included breakfast. Wine tasting choices are Pinot heaven. Staff make you feel like you are in their home with warm hospitality. Enjoy the outdoor palisade complete with a kick butt fireplace. I personally burned an entire forest one night as we drank our wine and chatted till the wee hours. Marvelous! Best stay in NZ says the wife. And her opinion counts!!!!

Outstanding everything

We recently booked 8 rooms for North Island clients at Kinross Cottages - the service was faultless and the beds incredibly comfortable. Highly recommend for a secluded break away from the city. Amazing wines on offer too!

Quiet and Cozy - or join the locals for Friday night drinks!

Great spot for a quiet getaway in wine country. Knowledgable staff for tasting some of the local gems that don't have their own cellar doors. We enjoyed the jovial crowd of locals gathering on Friday evening (a weekly occurrence apparently) for a few drinks.

Thank you for your review hollyboggs :) Our jovial Friday crowd always put a smile on our faces. The end of week gathering has become a regular affair and everyone is welcome for good times in the vines with great people!
Kinross sits on 40acres of beautiful grounds and gives you the choice to be as social... Or antisocial as you wish :)
We hope to welcome you back soon,

Peaceful luxurious time away

Kinross is somewhere very special. A gorgeous accommodation right in the heart of wine country Queenstown but also somewhere when we left we felt like family. Roaring fires, lovely pinot and a cottage that blew us away. Well done Lizzie and Adam.
