Write a reviewBeautiful afternoon here, pity the hours are so short! They even had a lovely area for the kids to play with toys! The wines were lovely and the platter was so generous!

Musing after a recent break in my home town, I think Matawhero offers the best winery experience in Tairawhiti. The owners have done a superb job in combining the original winery, with newish features such as accommodation, a paved entrance, gallery, and extra seating in the garden area. Rustic and modern blended right, and on a stunning Gizzy day, it’s hard to think of a better place to be for a non beach person like me. It really feels like the “South of France” relocated to the Pacific. As a kid who spent a bit of time on Riverpoint Road (visiting friends with market gardens) it’s amazing to see the evolution of a stunning winery at the end of the road. Oh, and the wine and platters are great too, as is the service. Big thanks to the staff member who found some chocolate for my family. All that’s missing is an outdoor pizza oven or BBQ area - maybe something for the future.

We booked for lunch and wine tasting. Arrived alongside cruise boat group. The wine and platter was great as was the staff member who tried to meet our needs but the winery was understaffed and we left disappointed by the level of service

We arrived on Thursday at midday, we were greeted by sally who even though they were busy was still extremely accommodating told us to take a seat and someone would be with us shortly! We did a wine flight and the platter for 2.. the wine was absolutely beautiful the best we have had and we have done quite a few cellar doors. The platter perfectly complimented the wines we had and was plenty for 2 people. The cellar door is beautiful and everyone went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The chenin blanc 🤤 (SUPERB) would definitely recommend coming here

Located in the middle of the Matawhero winery vineyards the modern sleek cabins offer elegant accommodations. The sleek space provides comfort and style. Owners Kristen and Richard Searle have created the perfect balance between vineyards, winery. Cellar door and luxury accommodations. Highly Recommended
