Craggy Range Luxury Vineyard Retreat

We (2 couples) stayed in one of the Garden Cottages, which sleeps 4 guests. The interiors were well planned out and spacious, with beautiful furnishings and appointments. The kitchen is very well equipped for cooking, and we appreciated the full size fridge, and the tasty freshly baked bread, pot yoghurt and preserved fruit each morning. The washer and dryer also came in very handy. The bathrooms are very stylish and practical, with the underfloor heating a treat on those chilly autumn mornings. The views from the cottage up to Te Mata peak were stunning at any time of the day but particularly at sunrise was the fog dispersed from the top, revealing the rock in it's many colours as the sun rose. We had a complementary wine tasting included in our accommodation package, which was informative and relaxed. We stayed for a special birthday and it did not disappoint, being one of the highlights of our trip.

We were very happy with our choice to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The accommodation was excellent, the wine beautiful, the food superb and the autumn colours and beautiful weather just finished it off. All staff were very professional, helpful and friendly. We are certainly selling Craggy Range to our friends and family and look forward to another visit.

Very well-appointed and a high standard as would be expected from this top-class winery. Extremely comfortable beds and very well-equipped kitchen (though did not get to use as we ate at the restaurant). Highest quality breakfast provisions provided, supporting local producers. Chopped wood also provided so it was lovely to be able to sit around the stove after dinner with the chilly air outside!

We enjoyed wine tasting and superb meal at Craggy Range. We stayed in one of the lodges which was stunning. The views are spectacular and the lodges very luxurious. Fabulous bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and generous living spaces both inside and outdoors.

Wonderful place to say in the middle of a vineyard. Looking straight ahead at the massive Craggy range. And the top of Te Meta peak. Next to the best restaurant in the area. With a free bottle of wine, and wonderful artisan breakfast items. Cannot say enough good things. Definitely would return..0

Craggy Range simply has to be experienced to be appreciated. It is the epitome of 5star luxury with world class leading wines, fine dining and accomodation that is simply breathtaking with views to match. Wake up feeling relaxed and happy you decided to visit CR and did not settle for anything less.

We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, staying for two nights. Felt like we had been transported into another world, the grounds and architecture are impressive. The meal in the restaurant was wonderful, as was the wine tasting. Our little cottage had everything we needed, including breakfast with food sourced locally, and a stunning view of Te Mata Peak. It is a great place to go for a special occasion. We will return!

This was an 80th birthday present for the two of us from our family. Our birthdays are only 6 weeks apart. It was absolutely fantastic. An amazing experience - the dinner with matching wines was superb. The staff were friendly and their wine knowledge added to the overall experience.

Our accommodation was lovely. The finish level is quite high and the kitchen has everything you would need. The staff provided us with gluten-free granola for my husband and soy yogurt (they call it custard) for me, along with other breakfast items. The grounds are lovely. I also had one of the best meals of my life at the restaurant: a vegan tasting menu, while my husband enjoyed the regular tasting menu. Warning: if you stay here, all other accommodations will pale by comparison.
