Gibbston Valley Lodge & Spa

Apr 28th, 2023

If we could give this place 100 stars, we would. This was the single best place we have ever stayed anywhere in the world. While the accommodations were amazing and luxurious, what really made our stay memorable was the entire staff at the property. Cherie at the front desk was absolutely amazing. She booked all sorts of activities for us and treated us like family from the moment we checked in. The staff in the lodge restaurant were equally as wonderful with their service and hospitality. We did a couples massage as well at the spa and it was the best treatment we have ever had. We didnt want to leave and will surely be back very soon!!

My husband and I stayed here during our honeymoon in New Zealand in March 2023 and while the staff and spa treatments were fantastic, I think it falls short of the luxury resort living that it boasts online. The rooms are beautiful and have nice views of the vines and are in fact very relaxing. The spa treatments were amazing and worth every penny as well. That being said, for being relatively remote and secluded I think the amenities were lacking. There are nice outdoor hot tubs and saunas adjacent to the spa which are great it would be nice if they had a pool for the warmer days to relax at. I also think that for a five star resort the bikes should be included for guests and not an extra charge again taking in to consideration the remote location and limited dining options. My biggest disappointment was that there were not more dining options, we spent three nights and on a few occasions we were looking for a bite to eat in between lunch and dinner and despite the notebook in the room saying there were all day dining options I called the front desk and they noted there was nothing available until 6pm. All in all our stay was very comfortable and I think that they have the potential to be a really great five star resort I just think for the items they are lacking its just not worth the current price point. I think traditionally when one thinks of a resort the idea is that it is a place you dont have to leave eat, drink or relax however during our stay this was not the case. But again the staff and spa were amazing!
