A great day
Great concept, great day and very well organised. The crossword was harder than expected but with a bit of help we got to the right place. The stop where we had the picnic was just stunning. We'd highly recommend this as something a little different than your usual picnic. Enjoyed picking up the additional food items on the way (as well as some extras to support the local businesses). Our only slight negative would be the flower place where there were no flowers to pick and anyway they would've died by the time we got home. We thought a small tub of gelato might have been a better idea there. But a great day and the weather thankfully was good also. Thanks very much Philippa.
From Mystery Picnic - Matakana
Thank you Colleen for your feedback. So glad you enjoyed your picnic. I remember it was unfortunately very wet leading up to this date and with your comments I have organised in future for a pre arranged bunch of flowers in a jar for customers to take away instead. Thanks again.

Great experience
Mystery Picnics is so unique and such a relaxing, yet exciting adventure. I highly recommend this unusual adventure if you are celebrating an occasion or just want to explore the Matakana region. The picnic has a great range of food and we enjoyed an add on of wine tasting.

A great way to experience Matakana!
What a neat activity for everyone. Couples, families, friends or as a work function, this is a fantastic way to see the area as well as support local businesses. Even after all these years living here we did know these places existed. Highly recommend!

Mystery Picnic - Matakana
Was an enjoyable event. Something unique and different. A great few shops and spots to visit. Well put together and we enjoyed the selection of treats from various retailers. Would recommend Matakana. Remember to take your reusable coffee cup, picnic blanket, knife, pen for the quiz, chilly bag or bin. Do not need plates, knives or forks or serviettes as these were supplied. Thought we'd meet Philippa at the start but understandably family time is very important so we were met by Jan and she was very nice.
From Mystery Picnic - Matakana
Thank you Michelle for your review, so glad you enjoyed the experience. Yes, sorry I was not there to greet you in person. My son's cricket game was on but thank you for your understanding, family time is important, self-employment is all a work/life balance and I am very lucky I have such a wonderful helper in Jan. Great pic of your final spread too:)

What a nice time.
This is a really lovely day out. We loved exploring the area and seeing places we wouldn’t normally have seen. Philippa has thought of everything you need- it’s very very well run. Our picnic at the end was absolutely delicious. I’d absolutely recommend doing this.
