Had the blueberry muffin which was very cold and tasted 'fridgy' as well. It had obviously e sitting in the fridge overnight at least.

I added 3 bags of sugar and loved every sip.

My friend thoroughly enjoyed her salmon frittata.

Decided to go for wine tasting after we had visited Skyline for the luge rides. We were able to use…read morethe gondola all evening as long as we still had the receipt so it was convenient to go back to the hotel, change, and return to Volcanic Hills. The view is beautiful and the tasting room is spacious and bright. The price for 5 tastes is very reasonable at only $20 NZ. Our servers were knowledgeable about the wine and the region. Surprisingly we loved the Chardonnay (not usually a fan)! Each of the wines were very unique, and we paid a little extra to taste the Tawny which was not included in the normal tasting menu. If you like Port, you'll enjoy the Tawny. All in all a lovely wine tasting experience!

Our tour group enjoyed a lovely afternoon at the winery during our recent trip to New Zealand…read more The wine was terrific and our hostess Paige was simply awesome. She made the visit even more enjoyable with her incredible personality and interaction with all of us. If you stop in make sure to sample the wines, and even ask Paige to dance for you....you won't be disappointed!!!

Aorangi Peak is a destination spot on the top of a mountain where you can dine, drink fine wine,…read moreget the best view in town, and sleep for the night. It's rather hard to get to but after spending a night here in there 4 room lodge I had to put this place on the yelp map. Restaurant: They're food is exquisite. We had a three course meal of deer carpaccio, mushroom soup, scallops, lamb and steak. It was so filling and delicious that for dessert we had to opt for just coffee. But I'm sure it would've been a treat. Their wine selection is also quite fantastic. The owner is a huge fanatic and he even has wine posters and a dusty wine cellar that you can choose from if you have the time. Lodging: The place we stayed in was huge. Four bedrooms with a total of 6 beds. There are signs on how to keep yourself safe from the possums and the extremely hot water of the area. The view from the backyard is actually a better view than you would get at the top of the gondola ride (which is a 40$ excursion in the town) Overall the experience was grand. The owner showed us his unique collection of antiques which included toys so archaic that describing them would need a history lesson.

We've been going to Pak'n save fortnightly for years and years…read more Not the best supermarket. Messy store at times, products not available and things are regularly over the end date. But you tolerate it because they are cheaper. We still pay on average $400 on every visit. But, today was the last straw... Incredibly rude customer service. Apparently there was a max limit per customer on an item that was on sale. No sign or anything on the shelf/rack to indicate this. Cashier calls customer service, lady walks over, grabs the products that were 'too much' my husband said we wouldn't mind paying full price for all. No problem to us. Lady completely ignores it and doesn't answer to that, looks at us, looks at cashier, back to us then says to the cashier, ( so not a single word to us as customers) 'max of 4 bottles!!!' in an agitated voice and leaves with them. Euh ok!? The rule doesn't make sense anyway. What's preventing me from stepping right back in the store after paying and grabbing the items from the rack again and paying at another cashier with another card? Yeah, after years it's just not worth the 'cheaper' shopping. I have a background in customer service and as a company I suggest you educate your staff on how to do better. You've lost a loyal customer and we'll take our money elsewhere.
