Greystone PurePod
Perched high-above Greystone vineyard like your own private eagle’s nest, this glass sanctuary puts you smack dab in New Zealand’s wine wonderland with the Southern Alps as your backdrop. Wake up to limitless award-winning wineries on your doorstep, spend your days bar-hopping through Waipara’s finest drops, or get your heart pumping on valley cycling trails.
When hunger strikes, those gourmet hampers packed with local lamb or steak, artisan cheeses and Canterbury’s finest produce mean you’re sorted for romantic deck dining while watching the sun disappear behind dramatic limestone formations at nearby Weka Pass.
Nestled in the heart of Canterbury’s premier wine region, Waipara Valley is at the epicentre of New Zealand’s award-winning pinot noir and riesling country, with exceptional vineyard tastings and winery restaurants like nearby Pegasus Bay and Black Estate. Adventure seekers can explore the Waipara Valley Vineyard Trail on foot or bike through historic farmland and rolling hills.
The hotel is located approximately a 45-minute drive from Christchurch International Airport (CHC). Airport transfers are not included in your package, please plan accordingly.
