Situated on a large vineyard in the Gibbston Valley, Kinross Cottages offer a taste of rural living in a scenic and tranquil location.
There are only 14 Studio Cottage rooms here, all offering views of the surrounding vines and mountains. The cottages are spacious, with high ceilings, large beds and full kitchen facilities so you can cook for yourself if you wish. You’ll also get a generous veranda for admiring the views.
Wine is a key element of a visit and the property acts as cellar door for Coal Pit, Domaine Thomson, Hawkshead, Valli and Wild Irishman wines, as well as their own labels, offering tastings and advice to guests and visitors for the premier wines of the region.
There is a bistro on site, serving local, seasonal foods, and a hot tub, pétanque courts, and yoga, Pilates or yin yoga sessions every day.
OUR OPINION:
A unique place to stay in the Gibbston valley, the wines here are superb and we highly recommend a tasting while you are here.
