Vintners Retreat

We chose this place so we could be out of town and enjoy the views. This stay did not disappoint. Our apartment was huge and well setup with all we needed. Was great to relax with views or the neighboring vineyard and enjoy a glass of the local white wine. Only wish we could have stayed a lot longer. I also loved the fresh milk given for our morning tea or coffee.

We stayed at Vintner’s Retreat in one of the Manor units overlooking the vines and the mountains. Wonderful location amongst the vineyards and wineries, great facilities and fabulous views – with the unexpected delight of night time harvesting of the grapes, which was fascinating. A special shout out to Mike who demonstrated amazing customer service, above and beyond the call of duty. I had left my tablet device in the room by mistake, and did not notice until several hours later when we were waiting at the airport for our flight back to Auckland, and had already handed in the keys to our rental car. Mike did not hesitate, and came out to the airport to reunite me with the device. An absolute star. Thank you so much for our fabulous stay!

I want to give this hotel amazing accolades for their service. There was a mix up with a unit being sold and our reservation not being available any longer. Now I know what you're thinking, wait how are you going to give them accolades without a stay. YOU GUYS- this was the best service ever, and I come from customer service background so I am always on the problem solving bus. So we show up, the manager is so so nice and tells us what happened, and says BUT I have a place for you to stay, it's right down the street, super close (it was!) and it's same level as you booked (2 bedroom, and it was!) and I'm so so sorry for the inconvenience. He then paid for our dinner and gave us a bottle of champagne for the inconvenience. I was actually so shocked, I didn't even know how to respond. He had solved the problem, with a great solution, and then went above and beyond to make it right. The place we stayed was AMAZING, the host met us outside, had the best chocolates ever as a treat for us and honestly, I will never forget how above and beyone they went for us. This would never happen in most places. Thank you for all you did, we will always speak so highly of you! I will say- location for this hotel even though we did not stay is AMAZING for wine tasting. And a couple of the vineyards even said oh it's really nice there! Anyway- thank you so much!

Beautiful property! I was nervous booking it because it seemed too good to be true, but it was absolutely fantastic and even better than I had imagined or hoped for!!

We stayed in Lodge 8 which was a three bedroom & two bathroom single storey building, with a large communal area. The property’s patio area faced directly onto the adjacent vineyard. The kitchen was well equipped for self-catering. Although no catering on site there are various restaurants within walking distance.
