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.

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.

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.

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.
