Great stay in beautiful vineyard
Large lovely house set in beautiful vineyard. Looks just like the pictures as advertised. Great air conditioning / heating available in all rooms, very comfortable. Also well equipped kitchen, and really convenient with laundry and dryer. Just some minor maintenance touchups needed (e.g. lightbulb in living room needs to be fixed) and needs a new kettle. More counter space in bathroom would be nice.

The Farmhouse was a nice property located on the Mission Esate Vineyard. We were made to feel very welcome by the Estate crew. The Farmhouse was neat and tidy. I would recommend the Farmhouse for anyone staying in the area. The Mission Estate restaurant and cellar door were excellent

Booked this 3-night stay 16 months in advance, turned up on the day and apparently the farmhouse was being used in its entirety by the promoter of the concerts that were to take place in the summer. Despite having confirmation from Expedia, Mission Estate didn't take responsibility. They claimed they had no knowledge of the booking; however other accommodation that we booked via Expedia had no issues. They explained that they had cancelled another booking for days after our stay; why they didn't just block it out so it wasn't possible to book is beyond me! They did however offer us a complimentary bottle of their sparkling wine (which we would've received had we stayed), and paid the difference on our alternative accommodation. We spoke with 3 people at Mission Estate, and not one took responsibility for this or seemed overly considered that there was a problem. It took c.2 hours to resolve, and they did offer us a complimentary snack & a coffee while we waited.

What a lovely place this is. Set amongst the vines, and with a hot tub and bbq, we had a lovely evening at this amazing property. Even when we had an issue with the electricity it was handled swiftly by a goroundsman, and it didn’t affect our fantastic stay here

Lovely, quiet farmhouse
The farmhouse is spacious (it turned out that we were the only guests during our two-night stay), sunny, quiet, clean, comfortable, well appointed. It’s set in the middle of the vineyard, with great views. The Mission Estate restaurant is excellent, but if you want to spend less, there are good restaurants in Taradale, only minutes away. We’d love to stay there again.

Didn’t want to leave....
This place was perfect. The Farmhouse was a great base for exploring Napier and the surrounding wine region although I never actually wanted to leave the farm house. It’s so quaint and has all that you need for a short or long stay. I had my morning coffee in my patio overlooking the vineyard, brought back wine and cheese for snacks at the end of the day watching the sunset over the valley, and sat next to the fireplace as the night got cool. Stay here. You won’t regret it!

relaxing in the vines
We loved our stay here at the winery. The cottage was spacious and well equipped. The hot spa outside was large and comfy and the best one we came across in our trip around the North Island. There was a washing machine and dryer which was useful for halfway through our trip! There were three separate deck areas to choose from, to sit and enjoy the views of the vines. But the best bit was the meal at the restaurant which we awarded our favorite meal of our holiday.

AMAZING, such a beautiful setting. We were a group of 6 (3 couples) and the house was perfect. Lovely communal areas, and beautiful rooms for privacy... it was great having our own bathrooms. The welcome bottle of bubbles was a really lovely touch.

Staying at the farmhouse was a highlight of our trip. It was lovely and the kids loved being right in the middle of the vineyards. The owners were especially helpful when we couldn't get the bbq started. They arrived in 5 minutes and sorted it all out. We loved it.

Pleasant farm house in the vineyards
Our one night stay at the farmhouse was pleasant. It was raining so we lit the gas fire and spent the rainy afternoon reading among the vineyards which was lovely. Although the house was well fitted out with full kitchen etc, there was a slight feeling of stinginess- I always feel a little disappointed when doors are locked to other bedrooms, and there is no loo paper or towels in a second bathroom, no books about to read, no sign of homeliness. It’s a tiny thing but just didn't feel generous. Dinner at Mission Estate restaurant was pleasant but not memorable. The dark red walls and corner table felt a bit stuffy and didn’t enhance the food experience. The bar seemed to be more open and have a livelier vibe.
