Reviews of Hawkdun Rise Vineyard & Accommodation

The location was 5 min from Alexandra, in a vineyard. The room was clean and we were in top of the hill where the vineyard was just outside the windows. The owner were very hospitality. Breakfast was beyond our expectations. We tasted the wine. Got explains of the festival trips and roads after we leave. We were invited to the salon and dinning room.

Can’t fault

Great location Very comfortable bed Very clean Great breakfast

Lovely home. Loved the breakfast.

Everything was 😊. We loved the accommodation very much and thoroughly enjoyed sleeping within a vineyard. In the evening we had a great Pinot noir from the host’s vineyard. The breakfast had a lot of choice and many things were homemade. To hear bellbirds was also special.

Best place ever 😊

Beautiful, central location, lovely facilities, clean, tidy

Expectations for second bed included with the booking was not met.

John and Suzanne are amazing hosts. The accommodation is super cute and gives you a very warm feeling. Perfect for relaxing days in the region.

The couple were warm and welcoming, as were the fur babies. We felt like we were at home away from home. Like visiting family instead of visiting guests.

The hosts were fantastic

I liked everything

We booked this place as a mini break after a long period on the road camping in a tiny tent. We were more than satisfied with all the amenities, and wonderful wine that we were recommended with our takeaway dinner and our breakfast in the morning (wine with the dinner not the breakfast!). However, what really made this stay exceptional was the help offered when our rental car broke. We personally know very little about cars, but our hosts were quick to diagnose the issue, and helped with calling the rental company and finding a mechanic - basically did everything! Made for a far less stressful experience than it definitely would've been. We appreciate the help so much, as the hosts definitely went out of their way to help us, taking a lot of time out of their day. Thanks again!

I enjoyed every minute of my stay with Suzanne and John. They were friendly, kind and provided excellent accommodation and a first class central otago experience. I was very appreciative of their warm friendship, and high standard of hospitality.

John and Suzanne are incredibly nice, and we enjoyed our stay thanks to their exceptional hospitality. We had a dinner with other guests, and they welcomed us altogether. Not to mention wine was great, food from John’s vegetable yard, and prepared by Suzanne was the best cuisine we ever had in New Zealand. The property has a wonderful view, and there are chairs and tables outside so that guests can spend their relaxing time there too.

Our room was in a gorgeous location, overlooking a sunny vineyard, just a short drive to the centre of Alexandra. Breakfast was excellent, but what was really outstanding was the dinner prepared by our hostess, featuring a lot of produce from their own extensive vegetable garden. It was definitely one of the best meals we have ever had in New Zealand! Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay another night.

John&Suzanne are two wonderful people, so warm and welcoming. It was so nice to spend a night at their amazing property! They put up the Norwegian flag at their front gate, just for me, the bed was super comfortable, the breakfast was amazing - I could just go on…! Highly recommended!!!
