The most magical, beautiful place I’ve ever stayed. If you’re ever in Auckland, treat yourself one night to this beautiful cottage - and ask for the Olive Cottage if possible! You get a private path right to the vineyard/ restaurant! Everything was just perfect during our stay. And the sunsets are breathtaking. Plus the amazing staff leaves fresh breakfast for you each day!

Loved this beautiful cottage on the property. Highly recommended. Lived the breakfast brought to the room, the hot tub, the views back to Auckland and all the furnishings. Enjoyed dinner at the restaurant and the sunset views. Check in was easy - didn’t speak to anyone and just entered the cottage.

Lovely Merlot Cottage with amazing views
We stayed in the lovely Merlot cottage which was clean, spacious and comfortable with the most amazing views. The breakfast provided was delicious and they were very accommodating to our dietary needs. We had a few minor issues, but the staff was very responsive to e-mails and always got right back to us with any questions.

Loved our stay in Olive Cottage. The interior design is gorgeous, the linen’s divine, the visiting ducks in the morning a treat. Only thing we’d suggest is a coffee machine and having a couple of Mudbrick wines available for purchase for those (like us) who arrived late and wanted a bottle of red.
