Martyn
No coffee machine, floor was very cold to walk on.
The room was heated via a heat pump, not ideal as it created more draft than warmth.
A heated towel rail is a must as you are requested to retain your towels to \"save the environment\".

The room was clean and very quaint! The owners were very nice and gave interesting insight into the wine making process in the valley. They made us feel right at home, and even gave us a few pieces of amazing fruit they had picked that day! The tasting they offer is a must-try; they’re doing things with wine nobody else is, and it works! The hot pools are also a fantastic way to relax after a long hike! The glass room in the olive grove feels like a portal directly to the Tuscan countryside!
Ruth
Well equipped cottage in a good location. Lovely outdoor spaces.
Ryan
Nice little cottage. Felt like it’s where a winemaker would kick their feet up at the end of the day, looking out on the mountains a sipping on a Pinot noir.
Hailey Chantelle
I suggest checking the accommodation website directly prior to booking. Things I was not made aware of when booking through Expedia are that the grape vines have been removed (all except two rows) and use of the hot pools are open to the public and at an additional expense.
Pros
- Staff were lovely
- Cottage was large and very comfortable for a multiple day stay
- in room spa bath was lovely
- hot pools and wine were exceptional
- close to shops etc
Cons
- on a main road, not as secluded as pics make it out to be
- cottages are close together (not really private)
- hot pools cost additional (and not cheap) / no discount offered for guests
- cheese platter as part of hot pool package was packaged lunch snack form supermarket
- wine tasting is not discounted for guests
- subdivision works are happening and vines are gone so feel of venue is not what I expected / you are looking at a lot of dirt/fencing
This is made clear on website but unfortunetley Expedia needs to update their accommodation details to reflect product better.

Amazing hosts, simply beautiful
Andrea
Jan and Graeme were great hosts. Unfortunately, we missed the wine tasting on the first night, however were pleasantly surprised when we attended our second night. Great discussions and selection of wines. The room was very cosy and secure with everything we needed and the BBQ was great for what we needed. Indulged in a spa on site and again were impressed by the property. Would definitely go back.
Wayne
It was fabulous - extremely well equipped kitchen, private, quiet. The cottage had many extras that you usually do not find in a rental property. Has private yard, BBQ, jacuzzi tub, oven, full size frig, Nespresso, everything we wanted and more. Hosts are very nice and extremely helpful and accommodating. Excellent stay in everyway.
Douglas
Very clean. Our cottage was very comfortable and we enjoyed a hot tub in the afternoon.
Edith
Lovely stay.
Jeffrey
Great hosts !!!! Cottage was right in the middle of a well manicured Vineyard. Beautiful gardens and fruit trees. We had a glass of wine or wine tasting each evening with the hosts . What a wonderful stay. Plus they have hot tubs to rent
Carol
Fabulous location in the middle of a vineyard. Excellent property and everything we needed was provided. The cottages are lovely and the bonus of free wine tastings made us feel very welcome.
Best place we have stayed at in the South Island.

Fantastic accommodation, great hosts and a great location to explore Otago
Verified traveler
The town of Cromwell is not that interesting, but if you have value for your money, this is a great place. Truly deluxe, with wine tastings each night, a great hot tub/spa, and very relaxing atmosphere. 30-40 minutes to Wanaka and the mountains.

This is a gorgeous place to stay. The view over the vineyards to the mountains is beautiful, the owners are really friendly, the wine is good, and you’re close to amazing places to eat. The room was lovely, well fitted out with everything you might need. Breakfast was a really nice touch, with local fruit juices and preserves.
There are other wineries, and the rest of Central just a short walk or drive away. I can’t speak highly enough of River Rock Estate. Such a lovely weekend.

Wonderfully equipped and comfortable room. It was easy to access the 4 Barrel Walking tour and sample the local wines. The kitchen and BBQ were meticulous and it was terrific to cook our own dinner and enjoy it with the wonderful River Rock sauvignon blanc from grape vines growing right outside our room! Perfect place to stay.

The unit was beautifully situated overlooking the vines. It was spacious, extrememly clean and the service was impeccable. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. The spa was a great experience.

Perfect stay amongst the vines
A really lovely stay. Our room had everything we needed and was a little oasis amongst the vines. Everything was really well organised and simple, breakfast was really tasty and the location was perfect to visit the Otago wineries and also walk into Cromwell. Would definitely stay again.
Carolyn
Fantastic place - can’t rate it highly enough
This is a fabulous place to stay. The guesthouse is really comfortable and private with everything you need provided - including delicious goods left in your room for breakfast. What a treat to have your own BBQ in a vineyard too - accompanied by a bottle or two of excellent wine from the estate. The wine tasting experience was really personal and enjoyable and we thoroughly enjoyed the company of our hosts. The swimming pool is also a bonus. We will most definitely be back and next time for a lot longer than 2 days. An outstanding stay of our 5 week NZ trip. Thank you.
Verified traveler
Great location. Very comfortable. Jan & Graeme were wonderful hosts. Especially enjoyed the 5:30pm cellar door drinks. Typical southern hospitality. Highly recommend.
John
Hosts were very nice and gracious when we arrived very late in the evening; were invited to an afternoon of wine tasting; received plenty for breakfast every day with a nice variety; rooms/cabins were clean, spacious and nicely decorated in the middle of the vineyard. Just a bit noisy when big trucks go down the road but only happens once in a blue moon.
Megan
Gorgeous B&B accommodation in the heart of Cromwell, within walking distance to local shops, supermarket, restaurants and easy to access the local walking winery tour too, so no real need to use the car during your stay! The units are well appointed and have everything you need for a comfortable stay alongside some thoughtful touches like make-up wipes in the bathrooms and the best juice ever in the fridge. The owners really make the stay at River Rock, they are lovely and long-time locals and are a wealth of knowledge of the region. The spa house onsite is also well worth doing!! Will be recommending to all we know planning to visit Central Otago.
Nicola

Unique Winwey B&B
We had a very nice stay here. It is really an experience to stay at a B&B located within a winery and we enjoyed it. Waking up to a ground-level vineyard view in the morning is great!
Everything in the room was clean and worked well. And the breakfast left for us to prepare in the unit each morning was generous. Best of all, the hosts were extremely kind in accommodating dietary requests. (One nut allergy; one vegan.)
We were in Cromwell to visit wineries and other establishments for work. Be aware that there is not a lot else to do in Cromwell, especially in winter. Also, the restaurant options are limited.
All in all, a very good stay, and worth the price. We would return here and recommend it to others as well.

Relax unwind...
You can do as much as like or just relax, unwind with one of their wonderful wines. Hosts welcome you daily with wine tasting, cellar sales. Or if you are more action orientated , only a short drive to all the exciting tourist attractions the area has to offer. Will be going back real soon.
Emily
Great set up, we really enjoyed our stay as it was a fantastic retreat. Quality breakfast as well!

Wonderful Experience! :-)
How often do you get a chance to sleep in a vineyard? This was such a nice treat to enjoy a room (feels like a cabin) surrounded by grape vines. Everything was spotless clean, comfortable bed and very quiet. Included is large selection of breakfast items. Hotel stays are quickly forgotten but this is a memory you'll fondly look back on as a great addition to your trip.

1박 강추
침대 가구 등 모두 고급지고 무엇보다도 포도밭이 보이는 분위기가 아주 일품. Vinyard 답게 포도주 시음도 가능. 와나카 들렸다 퀸즈타운으로 돌아가는 길이라면 1박을 추천. 사실은 너무 좋아서 나만 알고 싶다는 생각에 후기 쓰는 것을 망설였을 정도. 강추
