Welcome to Judge & Jury Village

A place where heritage meets hospitality in the heart of Gibbston Valley.

Where History Lives

From the vines of Gibbston to the peaks of Coronet, every corner of our valley leaves a mark. We curate experiences that connect guests to the land, the people, and the stories that shape this region.

Local Knowledge

At Judge & Jury, we embrace low-contact hosting – encouraging guests to explore independently. However, we’re always glad to share our favourite local spots, whether it’s coffee, dining, or a bit of adventure. Feel free to ask anytime.

Moments Worth Sharing

Whether it’s a sunrise over the valley or a fireside glass of Pinot Noir, Judge & Jury Village is full of quiet luxuries. No gimmicks, just good taste and good timing.

Stories That Stay With You

We’re rooted in history, but always looking forward. From the gold rush to the grape harvest, our village carries the echoes of the past with a modern twist.

Crafted for Quiet Moments

Judge & Jury Village isn’t built for spectacle, it’s built for stillness. For morning light through timber beams, for shared meals that stretch into stories, and for the kind of rest that feels earned.

We believe luxury isn’t loud, it’s thoughtful. It’s the right blanket, the right bottle, the right silence.
