The Loft
Tucked within the farmhouse garden; The Loft is a self-contained retreat split over two levels. Upstairs, you’ll find a queen bed, living area, and kitchen with views of Judge & Jury and sunsets over Coronet Peak. Downstairs includes a mudroom, bathroom, and underfloor heating—ideal for winter stays with ski fields just 30 minutes away. Private parking and a separate entrance ensure comfort and seclusion.
The Cottage
Nestled in a rural alpine landscape; The Cottage offers sweeping views of mountains and rivers. With two bedrooms sleeping five, a full kitchen, and a log burner, it’s ideal for families or small groups. Bifold doors open to a BBQ area for alfresco dining, while armchairs invite you to unwind with a glass of pinot noir in front of the log burner on those colder nights. Warm bathroom and laundry facilities complete the experience.
The Farmhouse
The main farmhouse is a spacious, character-filled retreat with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, ideal for families or groups of up to eight guests. Available exclusively through direct booking, it offers privacy, comfort, and a personal touch. Guests can enjoy a roaring fire in winter and lush gardens in summer; all set against sweeping westerly views toward Coronet Peak. Warm, welcoming, and seasonally versatile, it’s the perfect base for a memorable Queenstown escape
Log Cabins (Coming Soon)
Currently in design, our two traditional log cabins offer cosy, character-rich stays for couples, families, or small groups. Built from hand-hewn logs, each two-bedroom cabin will blend rustic charm with modern comfort. A unique addition to the Queenstown Lakes region
Words from the Village
Every stay leaves a trace. These reflections offer a glimpse into the moments that matter most to our guests.
The Village
Under new ownership since late 2025, Judge & Jury Village offers a secluded alpine escape across 140 acres of high country, where guests can explore historic landmarks and take in panoramic views of Coronet Peak, Ben Lomond, and the Nevis Bluff. Wiltshire sheep roam freely across the hills, and plans are underway to grow fresh, natural produce as part of a self-sustaining future.
In historic goldmining territory, just minutes from Arrowtown, Gibbston Valley, and Queenstown, the village is a place to relax, reconnect, and immerse yourself in the region’s rich heritage. Big things are on the horizon: two traditional log cabins are currently in design, Woody’s Woodshed is under construction, and unique health treatments and wellness facilities are set to follow soon.
We guarantee that we will offer the best price when booking directly with us through the website or over the phone. No hidden charges!
Behind the Name
The property draws its name from the storied Judge and Jury rock formation, landmarks steeped in visual symbolism, gold rush heritage, and the shaping of the surrounding landscape’s identity. Since the 1880s, these rocks have inspired local storytelling and defined the character of the region. Their name reflects their striking appearance: a commanding schist outcrop stands as the “judge,” flanked by a semicircle of smaller rocks that resemble a seated “jury.”
Built on Values, Shaped by Nature
We believe great stays are built on more than scenery. Judge & Jury is rooted in the landscapes of Gibbston Valley, but it’s powered by people, guests, hosts, and locals alike. Our mission is to create a space where nature meets comfort, and every visit leaves a legacy. From the trails to the table, we invite you to be part of something lasting.
