    Beautiful setting for a very comfortable villa stay. We loved the breakfast provisions, the log fire, the under floor bathroom heating, the lovely big bed and the complimentary wine made this a real treat. We also loved looking through the kitchen garden and walking around the site. Thank you

    Perhaps a little overpriced. Full breakfast in the restaurant would have been nice

    Stunning location, well kept grounds. Beautiful, spacious cottage we stayed in. Continental breakfast supplied in the room. Complimentary wine tasting included. Had a meal in the restaurant, great food and wine.

    The breakfast provisions were included in our rate, and these were supposed to be changed each day. Well, they were replenished but it was the same each day! The ‘home made granola’ turned out to be corn flakes - hardly 5 star food! But the bread and artisanal marmalade were very nice.

    We stayed in one of the cottages in the grounds of the cellar door/restaurant complex. It was just beautiful - very comfortable and well appointed. We loved everything about it, apart from the breakfast provisions. (See explanation below.)

    Bit far from city center so you need a car.

    Beautiful vineyards and the te mata peak make this place so special. Loved the cellar door tasting and the restaurant too! Staffs are friendly and professional. I’d like to come back with my wine-craving friends some day.

    Fire place was smoking out our room for some reason so disappointed we couldn't have the fire going in evening when we returned from restaurant

    We loved the beautiful freshly home made bread each morning for breakfast which was made with locally organic produce. Also the homemade museli. The beds were super comfy!!! The wine tasting with tasting patter was a highlight the women at the winery were so passionate about talking about the award winning international wines that Craggy Range make. They did a outstanding job of making us feel welcome & showcasing Craggy Range vineyard and wines! The food at the restaurant was outstanding. We will be back to experience Craggy Range again.

    The breakfast provided was pretty ordinary- one could say bland!

    The location and setting are superb. Michael and Liticia were knowledgeable, down to earth and most helpful and accommodating. The waitress for our table at the restaurant on Monday night was great- happy to take the time to chat and explained everything so well.
