Perfect getaway
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.

A slice of heaven in wine country!
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.

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!

WOW what a location
Just a short drive outside of bustling Queenstown however felt you were a million miles away, our favourite property of our entire driving holiday around the South Island. Lynne was an amazing host, thank you for sharing your property with our family. Loved all the little touches.

A stunning, quiet, and relaxing location matched with equally impressive accommodation.
The apartment had everything we could possibly want for our 5 night stay. Thank you Lynne and Tony for making our stay so thoroughly enjoyable. The respectful privacy you extended to us was very thoughtful while the kind offer to assist with anything we needed was much appreciated (although everything we needed was there!). The living room section may be a little tight on space for 4 adults if staying more than a night or two but more than sufficient for our needs. Lots of space outside to sit and relax and to enjoy the amazing scenery. We very much look forward to our next visit!

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

Incredible stay
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!

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!

Spectacular
Spectacular views, unmatched serenity. Do not stay here if bright city lights are what you’re looking for - all you see here at night is millions of stars and by day you are surrounded by majestic mountain ranges. The home is very well appointed and seriously photos could never do it justice. Lynne is a gorgeous host and she even had the fire ready for us to light if we wanted it. We didn’t need extra warmth but lit the fire anyway and the glowing ambiance was the icing on the cake.

A piece of tranquility amidst the winelands
Perfect spot to return to for a peaceful evening after a day of winelands, biking, hiking (or winter sports). Everything has been thought of - from generous supply of coffee pods to expansive windows overlooking valley and mountains beyond. Piggies, birdcall and very comfortable bedding extra bonuses. I love finding special little places like this around the world.

A very special property
This is a very special property with amazing hosts! As a family we spent two weeks in this accomodation utilising it as a base for a skiing holiday. It’s well set up for a family with everything you would expect. Beryl and Sheryl the resident pigs on the property were a huge hit with my 8 year old daughter. We will be staying again and again I’m sure!

About the host

Hosted by lynnefl2

Host profile image
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.
