The Lodge was beautiful and our villa very nice with good amenities. We had dinner at the Lodge both evenings and food quality was very good, though choices a bit limited. Check in staff was a bit curt, not warm. A pleasant surprise was a private cinema which we could book and we enjoyed a whole streamed movie after dinner. The stars were super brilliant. Overall, a very enjoyable visit.

What a superb place this is.
From customer friendly staff throughout to the smallest details.
Everything is carefully thought about, delivered to the highways standards, mindful of the environmental impact each service may have. Sustainable, tasty food, recycled products, nothing wasted without compromise on quality of product or service.
We highly recommend Gibbston Valley.
10/10 all round.

A well-earned treat after a day of sightseeing.
My daughter and I had a wonderful stay, totally relaxing and serene. It was convenient walking over to the wine tasting and popping into the Cheesery and deli shop. The location was perfect for exploring the region and even better for returning to unwind in the evening. We enjoyed cozying up by the fire chatting and relaxing in our spacious room.
