BOUTIQUE GUEST HOUSE
ABOUT
Nestled amongst the rocky outcrops under Alexandra’s iconic Clock on the Hill, our luxury one-bedroom private retreat allows you to unwind on our Shaky Bridge Pinot Noir vineyard, while indulging in pure uninterrupted views of the surrounding Central Otago landscape.
​
The historic Shaky Bridge itself is right on your doorstep, and leads you into the town centre - or along the banks of the Manuherikia River where fly fishing awaits.
​
We want to share our little piece of paradise with you, and our beautiful schist stone family home has a Guest House that is equipped with luscious linens, finest teas and a natural plant-based body care range, making it the perfect place to indulge.
​
It’s 'town meets country' where the choices for recreation are endless. You can literally plan your mountain biking or hiking adventures out your window.

OUR STUDIO
The 55 sq m guest house is on the ground floor of our family home. Create your own gourmet meal in the galley-style kitchen with its modern aesthetic, unwind in the opulent marble bathroom and then nestle into the king-sized bed, adorned with exquisite Goose Down bedding.
​
Luxurious toiletries and home care products from Real World NZ and a collection of Storm and India teas are available for your use.
There is also a Weber barbecue in the courtyard for alfresco dining overlooking the Shaky Bridge, and breathtaking views of the Kopuwai Conservation Area.
