Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We were overnighting at the Heartland hotel before flying home.
Decided to eat at the Runway basically because it was booked out and the other choices were sparse.
The food was of excellent quality, good sized portions, reasonably priced and very friendly staff - one of the best meals we had in NZ.
It was a big surprise to us WELL DONE!

Staying one night before we fly to Australia and of course we need dinner. Lots of good choices on the menu and we both choose the salmon. Cooked perfectly and the side dishes went well with the salmon. A NZ Sauvignon Blanc paired well with the salmon. Dessert was shared and it was the banana bread. Good service as well.

We wanted a nice meal for our last night in NZ to end our 3 week holiday. We had been driving all day so decided to try in-house instead of going to Auckland CBD as planned. Wow all the meals were lovely and very tasty. Our party of 4 were all impressed which was a pleasant surprise for an airport hotel. Well done.

Just a great place, friendly and efficient staff, who made it fun, not just a trip away from home! I shall return, to quote General MacArthur, you can be sure of that.

Definitely not the greatest meal I have had. We were a little disappointed in the portion sizes considering the price of the meals.

This restaurant is about average for a quality motel to operate. Food was good and prices as expected. Service staff were pleasant.
Only fault was that end of meal was a fizzer as cheese plate ordered hadn't arrived by 30 minutes and restaurant only had 8 guests. I had to be elsewhere and left. Management were very apologetic and matter was resolved amicably.

Only ate at this restaurant as it was part of the hotel we stayed at due to having our flights cancelled two days in a row.
The food here is great and Reasonably priced, the staff are very efficient and attentive. Would highly recommend eating here.

Dinner here last night. Atmosphere was basic as we're the table settings but probably what you would expect from a fly through hotel. Meal and service were quite good.

We ate at this restaurant which is in the Heartland Hotel. The menu was not large but there were several choices that suited us. The service was outstanding. The food was good and we didn't have to wait long for our meals to arrive. There was also a large school group staying in the hotel and they were in the restaurant at the same time as we were, for dinner and breakfast and the restaurant coped very well with the large group. I can certainly recommend this as a good place to eat.

The Runway is the Heartland Hotel's in-house restaurant. The actual restaurant area is not a very flash room but the table settings were nicely done.
My food was surprisingly tasty. The market fish was fresh hapuka and it was prepared nicely with a crayfish sauce. The gnocchi was not pillow light but t'was flavorful.
I'd recommend room service if dinning alone or if traveling as a couple.
