Absolutely beautiful. Staff excellent, restaurant world-class, vineyards and grounds meticulously presented. We stayed in a 2-bed cabin & even the design of the cabin, complementary bottle of Craggy Range wine, and daily generous stocking of breakfast supplies were a great experience. Loved Craggy Range!

The cottage we stayed in was lovely. The bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom quite large with heated floor, a small fireplace in the lounge and the refrigerator stocked with a fabulous breakfast along with other niceties such as tea and coffee along with several bottles of their wine should you want to stay in and relax. We had dinner at their restaurant where the service and the food was excellent. My only comment is that they do not make it clear where to check in. Definitely will go back again.

The cottage accommodation was fantastic. A bit of home away from home, plenty of space plus they had a washer and dryer which is helpful while you travel. The restaurant has tasty choices and the lamb was terrific. If you need a local driver contact Rex at Mychauffeur.com

Relaxing getaway

We felt so relaxed the minute we walked into the cottage. Plenty of space and everything you could possibly need. Each bedroom had a bathroom and doors opening out onto a deck with outdoor furniture. Added bonus of delicious and filling breakfast

Everything was excellent and there is nothing we could complain about. Craggy Range makes it difficult to stay anywhere else after the great level of service and the great accommodation provided. We will be coming back again.

Elegant modern private cottage in the vineyard

We stayed in a private 2 bedroom cottage in the vineyards. It was modern, elegant and bright, with good amenities including washer and dryer. Continental breakfast was provided in our kitchenette and a brief wine-tasting was included. “Terroir” is their fine dining restaurant on site, and we enjoyed an elegant dinner there. Excellent Pinot Noir wine.

Craggy Range vineyard

This stay was the most enjoyable stay during our 3 week trip to both islands. The people could not have been nicer and the Charandonnay Cottage was wonderful. We have bought two cases of their wine after returning to the US. We highly recommend the experience.

Our stay in Paradise

Our stay at the Craggy Range Pinot Noir cottage was amazing. The cottage is located in the vineyard itself so for people like us who are passionate about wine we were thrilled with the very comfortable cottage. It was easy for us to stroll around the vineyard and explore the gardens and also visit the Craggy Range Terroir restaurant sampling high quality food and wine. The staff were friendly and informative. We really enjoyed our stay it was luxurious and we loved it. We will be back again for a relaxing holiday and wine experience next year.

The Sauvignon Blanc Cottage was perfect for the 3 of us with two bedrooms comprising of super comfy beds, an open fire and well appointed kitchen. The views of the vineyard and the Craggy Range completed the experience. Will definitely revisit when next in New Zealand.
