Cottages at Kinross

The cottage is big, comfy and well-maintained. Just we can find spider web on the pedent light and some small areas. There was very loud outside noise created by a machine from 4am to 6am which made us difficult to sleep. The wine tasting is too fast we dunt have enough time to enjoy. However, the overall experience was good.

We chose this hotel because we expected to enjoy its winery/food. Otherwise, we should have stayed in Queenstown with a lot of restaurants and pubs. As we would arrive in the early evening, we put a note for our hope for experiencing their winery and food (or at least finger foods) when we booked the hotel, and received email that they cannot guarantee but will do their best to serve our need. Since then, no email was sent to us. When we arrived at the hotel around 6 pm, no one was in the information desk, so we had to go to the bistro to find out that they left the key in a safe box without any notice or sending us any email with its password. We had to wait a while for the bistro lady to make a phone call to whom it concerns, which was okay. Worse, we heard that their bistro was reserved for a group event so we could not use the facility at all. We had to drive 15 minutes to a nearby town and bought foods from a supermarket. I think the hotel should have notified us of impossibility of using their bistro/food service due to the group event and we have to prepare for our food. As I checked out, I left a note about the issues, and expected they would send me an email to express their sincere apology. Unfortunately nothing happened so far. Although I liked the room as well as the whole place very much, I think Kinross cottage needs professionalism to run their stay program. It could have been much nicer, memorable stay experience.

We had such a relaxing time, was so nice to disconnect and just watch the vineyard, relax in the spa looking at the stars. I was worried that the frozen meal wouldn't be enough and ordered the grazing box as well and I promise this was MORE than enough! Highly recommend for a beautiful weekend away.

Hi team, Would just like to thank your team for making use Wellcome today, had a get time at the restaurant, the food and wine was outstanding. Would specifically like to call out Caitlin for the great service and recommendations, the chief special was delectable, especially the lamb and fish. Once again thanks for a great day. Will see you soon. Kind regards Steve

Beautiful winery and large rooms and bathrooms. Cozy beds and wonderful shower. Such a pretty romantic setting. Loved all the rabbits and ducks on the grounds too. The wine tasting was fun and delicious and included in our stay. We ordered 4 different fire roasted pizzas. The pear and blue cheese pizza was out of this world. The grounds were so well kept, there were swings for couples, lawn games and a sandy area with digging toys for little kids to play with. The live music in the afternoon/dinner time that was lovely. I highly recommend staying here. We chose Kinross to break up the drive from Milford sound to Mt. Cook and it was perfect! The staff was friendly and attentive.

A beautiful part of New Zealand and a beautiful place to stay. Cottages are fully self contained and everything you could possibly need is there. A wine tasting with Martial is a must. He is very knowledgeable and excellent host. A sprinkling of snow on the mountains opposite - it's magical.
