If you like seeing Kiwi in the wild, then you HAVE to do this tour Ness is amazingly knowledgeable about the region and the animals within. We saw two that night and one of them walked right across the path in front of us. To see them that close was a truly special experience.

Fantastic tour for family trip!

Very special experience! Kind of like hiking but the first time at night that everything feels so different. There was about 20 minutes easy walkway before entering the forest. Three kiwi birds were found and many other lovely creatures. The tour guide lady was very experienced and nice. Great and strongly recommended!

The Best Wine Activity In Auckland

The Best Wine Activity In Auckland

An incredible experience, from start to finish! Matakana Estate is a gorgeous winery set in a breath-taking part of Auckland. Perfect for complete beginners or those with some good wine knowledge, everyone will finish the experience having learned something new. Our wine expert Serenity couldn't have been more lovely and helpful throughout the blending experience, and the entire team was so nice. Throughout the process you are constantly tasting a variety of delicious wines, exploring your creative side and having heaps of fun. When it's all said and done you'll leave with gems of wine know-how, plenty of laughs and your own customized, unique bottle of wine that you blended yourself! Bonus- we ordered food while we were there and it was delicious, I would recommend arriving a bit early to enjoy some of their excellent kai (beef sliders and truffle fries were yum!). Give this experience a go, you won't regret it!

Lovely venue with views out over the countryside, greeted with a lovely welcome, everything was already setup and ready to go. It started with a lesson on tasting and sampling some of the wines (which was really useful) and then went on to the experimenting of blending the wines - Super friendly, knowledgable and helpful team there. Really recommend - and the platters available are also great!

We had tasty plates to share, squid, pork tacos and the new country pizza. Although the plates looked small, they actually are very filling and we didn't finish everything. The must have--rhubarb tonic for the cocktails is also a pretty pink drink one will surely enjoy. Thumbs up for Smiths!

Something for everyone. Really good value with a bookme discount but would have paid more and it would still be good value entertainment. We hadn't planned to stay for food or drink but decided to have a wine and bite to eat - the service was great and the staff were friendly and flexible to serve us between lunch and dinner. Something different in Matakana! Well worth a visit.

This place is fabulous, the gardens are blissful in the shade and the sculptures throughout really pop. The gardeners do a wonderful job here. The art galleries are FULL with so much engaging art, it's really enjoyable, and is updated - great photo opportunities, and lots of hidden gems. The only thing I don't love is the aviaries - I'd love to see either much bigger aviaries for the birds (an open aviary would be even better), or no birds in the aviaries. However, the place is really well worth it!

At first I wasn't sure whether it would be worth the entrance fee, but from the moment we walked in we were blown away. The art is fun, vibrant and so very well presented and in such a unique way. Its the way art should be. Fun! As we walked through it continued to be equally as great all the way to the end. We brought my mum for her 65th birthday and had 2 kids, 1 and 4 with us. Everyone had a great time. Finished off at freddies with a delicious gelato bowl. The art collection is incredible and we will be recommending it to everyone!

What a surprise find near Matakana. The outside gardens and sculptures are beautifully curated. You also have the stunning inside art galleries with a diverse range of art. We visited on a winters day and it was still stunning- we will have to return during the other seasons to see it all again.

This was our 3rd visit and still enjoyed every moment wandering around the beautifully designed and landscaped grounds scattered with sculptures from many different artists. After a quick drinks break in the restaurant, Rothko, we continued our journey through the galleries where even more wonderment can be found to enjoy. This is a day out where you really don’t want to rush! We will be back!!

A special place to visit with a beautifully planned, planted garden. To walk through and see the sculptures within these settings. On top of your garden walk. You enter a stunning set of Art galleries. With incredible art works to see. A super place to visit. A lovely restaurant. Whose staff were so lovely, catering for my small Grandchildren. Umbrellas available if the weather changes. Incredibly well designed, well thought out. Easy parking. Well worth the visit. My second time here and just as enjoyable, as the first.
