What travellers are saying
- LmvrlvCambridge, New Zealand161 contributionsSo beautiful and so well kept! It was so clean. We enjoyed walking there with our dog and enjoyed the smell of the ocean!Written 23 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- hannahChristchurch, New Zealand207 contributionsWe went to a wine tasting over a quiet travel period. We didn’t book ahead and just walked in, but I believe you need to book ahead if travelling there other time.
The staff there was friendly but may not be knowledgeable and professional enough to our needs.
We drank some single vineyard wine and grand reserve wine before so would like to try something different. Instead of choosing a tasting option from the existing options like G-Wen, Terroir and Innovation…, I tried some wine from TOM collection that was beautiful but may not be up to the high price tag.Written 14 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - LmvrlvCambridge, New Zealand161 contributionsWhat a beautiful place to look out over. The road to the top was quite windy but well worth it. Don't miss out on this one.Written 23 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Rebekah Beck8 contributionsThank you to Ricky and Hannah on making our 12th anniversary one night to remember always. You guys went above and beyond to make our experience and evening a night for the books. Excellent service. Sublime food. Lick the plate (if that wasn’t bad manners) type food. Complimentary bubbles and a beautiful anniversary message on our dessert. Thank you all so very much. Fine dining got the tick from us! I haven’t had duck cooked that perfectly since I was last in China! Keep up the phenomenal work!Written 13 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- StaceyCheerArapuni, New Zealand145 contributionsStumbled across this unexpected gem while walking back to our hotel. Beautiful gardens, lovely water features and art.Written 11 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Anna-Maria FWellington, New Zealand14 contributionsThe atmosphere was relaxed and peaceful. We can't thank the staff enough for their hospitality they were truly exceptional. There were some fun outdoor games for us to play and most importantly delicious food and wine 🥂. We will definitely be back next time we are in Hawkes Bay 💜Written 9 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- LmvrlvCambridge, New Zealand161 contributionsThe staff there were very friendly and took time to explain directions. I was given maps and they circled the places of interest that I wanted to go.Written 23 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- StaceyCheerArapuni, New Zealand145 contributionsWe stumbled into the MTG while waiting for a tour to begin. What a great way to fill in an hour! We particularly enjoyed the earthquake exhibit, with its wonderful first-hand accounts and the surviving artifacts. A very sobering history of how Napier was destroyed and rebuilt, and the resilience of NZers.Written 11 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- LmvrlvCambridge, New Zealand161 contributionsThis is a lovely statue surrounded by beautiful gardens. Great for taking photos. Don't miss out on it.Written 23 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Neil BWellington, New Zealand332 contributionsA 15 min wast walk each way and well worth it. An impressive waterfall. I think the first waterfall is the best one to visit.Written 15 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- ODW300Wellington, New Zealand40 contributionsSunday lunch with friends outside in the sun. It’s a bit out of the way and not close to any other wineries but worth the effort of going there. The food was good quality, the service was excellent and the staff friendly.Written 7 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- SamanthaBlossomNew Zealand105 contributionsWhat the heck! This park is so cool! We took our 7-month-old baby here during a trip to Napier and it was so much fun! There is a trampoline in the ground, slides, swings (even one for you and baby!), water guns, rock climbing slopes, and so much more we didn't get around to exploring! What a fantastic place!Written 24 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- DerekTaupo, New Zealand11 contributionsThese are great cycling trails, we really enjoyed cycling them, but there is a bit of an issue with the signs. We found it easy to get lost.
The map from the isite is good but there needs to be better detail of the roads and junctions, there is a lack of signs and getting your bearings may be a challenge,
Ideally more signs, more regular trail indicator post markers maybe with numbers that are on the map? Better road markings on the sealed sections in town where it’s easy to get confused.
Other that that it’s a must do if your into it. Can be as long or as short a ride as you like.
We will be back and probably be more prepared with GPS and battery packsWritten 28 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
