One of the advantages of the Gisborne South location is the close proximity to Melbourne and the airport. No need to waste time getting here – spend that time instead settling in and enjoying the sights, sounds and tastes of the Macedon Ranges.

Would highly recommend staying here! We were greeted by friendly staff. We had a Red Balloon weekend, which included a 2 course lunch of pizza & dessert. A wine tasting & glass of wine. All beautiful!

My partner and I stayed for our eight year anniversary and absolutely loved it. Such a beautiful and peaceful place.
The cottages have everything you could ask for e.g. BBQ on the deck, electric fry pan, kitchen utensils, chopping boards, they even provide things like oil, salt and pepper. The breakfast provisions were fantastic, they even provided gluten free bread, cereal and bacon (we requested GF at time of booking). The gluten free provisions were clearly labelled and kept seperate to avoid cross contamination. The view from the deck, and everywhere else on the property, is spectacular.
The staff are super friendly, welcoming and helpful. Oh my, the gluten free lamb pizza was super delicious (ordered in advance as they prep the gluten free ones first before touching other pizzas). The wine is delicious and loved the chocolate lava cake (not gluten free, partner has coeliacs not me. He had the GF pear and cinnamon cake).
Phone reception was basically non-existent in the cottages but was slightly better in other areas of the property. It was actually really nice not being able to use our phones and enjoying the serenity. We took a book each which I enjoyed reading on the deck, although I did more looking at the surroundings than reading.
If you're wanting to head in to Gisborne for dinner (the cellar door at the winery is open for lunch only) and don't want to drive, let's face it there will be too much wine for driving, I suggest booking a taxi in advance. If you don't have any phone reception at all you can ask staff to call and book in advance for you. We tried to call a taxi from outside the cellar door (a bit of reception there) when we needed it and couldn't get through to the local company and had 2 uber drivers cancel on us so we were late for our dinner reservation. Alternatively, you could buy some groceries in the morning then cook up a lovely meal with the BBQ or electric fry pan for dinner.
Can't recommend this place more.

Room is beautifully laid out with shutter windows between kitchen/lounge and bedroom in the Fernery room. We checked in late and they left the lights, heating and music playing ready for our arrival without even having to request this. DIY breakfast with all the trimmings in the fridge, pantry and surrounds. Excellent customer services and very friendly owner/operators managing the main interactions with customers. Would stay again and happily recommend to family, friends and anyone who wants a relaxed, serene getaway all the whilst staying within Victoria just one hours' drive or less from the inner south-east (less from the city itself).

We booked two cottages and found them both very clean, comfortable and well appointed for eco cottages. Check-in was easy once we found the right driveway and I’d recommend getting there during daylight hours to make things easy. Breakfast provisions were more than sufficient and the BBQ was handy for cooking. I’m not sure why the sink is so small because it’s barely large enough to wash a dinner plate, let alone the very large frypan. Perhaps its size is in keeping with the eco friendly theme. Shower water is hot, towels are plentiful, there’s a comfortable bed and pillows and good instructions for how to use the coffee machine and TV. The hosts are really warm and welcoming and quick to respond. The only reason we wouldn’t stay there again is because there wasn’t any WiFi and digital coverage was particularly poor. Unless I’m mistaken, this wasn’t noted anywhere on the website which is disappointing but it wasn’t something we raised with the hosts so we may have been denied a solution. I should note that when speaking with friends who live in Gisborne, the lack of coverage is a common complaint with residents of South Gisborne where the winery is located. We did not have time to have lunch there or try the cellar door so I can’t offer a critique on these aspects of the winery. Overall, if you’re looking for somewhere to get away from it all that offers clean, comfortable and fresh air living, this is a great place.

Hello LTDCBR, Thank you for the wonderful review. Unfortunately, Wi-Fi is something we have struggled with for a very long time, it is something that we continue to investigate to improve our guests comfort and convenience. The idea of the small sink is indeed to encourage the minimization of water usage. We would love to have you back to experience our cellar door restaurant. Hope to see you again soon, Kind Regards, Nikki Sedgman Gisborne Peak Winery - Administration

My partner and I booked two nights in an eco-cottage for a weekend getaway from Melbourne. It was really lovely!
When we arrived the cottage we pre-heated with a bottle of sparking waiting for us. The place was so cute. The fridge was stocked with essentials to make a delicious breakfast including eggs, bread, yogurt and bacon. Though it was a cold couple of days in May, the cabin was toasty with a powerful heater and much-appreciated electric blanket for the bed. We drank wine, played board games, listened to music and enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere.
The following day we went for a short walk around the vines and enjoyed a pizza lunch and wine tasting at the cellar door. All the staff were lovely and hospitable. I really have no complaints. It was a cozy, lovely and relaxing stay! I'd recommend it to anyone :)

Great getaway. Accommodation, overlooking the vines, was very quiet, well maintained, comfortable with additional extras, such as the breakfast pack. Very cosy. Neat as a pin. Had lunch at the winery - pizzas and sampled their wines. Riesling was great! Played golf at the local course nearby as well. Highly recommend.

I was given a lunch for 2 voucher for the Winery, so my wife and I decided to offload the kids to the in-laws and stay overnight one of the cottages in the vineyard.
I’m so glad we did, as it was such a treat to have a delicious quiet lunch and then roll down the track to our lovely cottage.
The cottages were modern, well maintained and had an amazing view of the vineyard. The staff were super friendly and helped out with all of our requests.
Would definitely recommend Gisborne Peak Winery as a great couples country getaway spot, without having to travel too far out of the city.
Thanks Gisborne Peak team! 😁👍

The cottages are lovely, with all the amenities you could possibly need for a weekend away. Breakfast amenities were more than ample & the staff were soo accomodating even organising for a takeaway platter from the restaurant for us. I would definitely stay again, the only things I would point out is that there is not great internet coverage in the cottage & no wifi also the restaurant closes at 5pm with any other restaurant being a 10min drive away it would be nice if the winery restaurant was open for dinner. Apart from that I can’t fault the accomodation, restaurant or service from Gisborne Peak Winery. I would definitely return.

Our cottage was modern and well designed and offered everything we needed. Provisions for breakfast were generous and quality and we appreciated the electric fry pan which we used for our BYO dinner. Overall a great experience in a clean and cosy cottage.

Great introduction to my cottage was the thoughtful heating and lighting on with music playing on arrival. The scene was set for a very quiet and peaceful few days amongst the vines. Breakfast was a hamper style with plenty of supplies for the two days. The location was ideal for exploring Kyneton, Mt Macedon, Hanging Rock and surrounding attractions. The cottage had lots of information to assist in planning an itinerary. Will be back soon.
