We had a one night package stay that included a 3 course a la carte meal and a cooked breakfast, as a gift. Would I pay high dollars for what we actually got or, was it value for money? Probably not. The rooms aren't ready for occupation until 2pm and morning checkout is 10am, so it is a short day!... more

We've just had a night at the Hotel Du Vin to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. We wanted something out of town, but not a huge distance from Auckland where we could have a decent dinner and a bit of romance. We got a decent rate on Wotif - NZ$205 for one night. We arrived at 3pm to be told... more

My husband booked Hotel & Spa Du Vin as part of a trip to celebrate my 30th birthday. The hotel is located well off the beaten track in a tranquil valley and has an immediate air of serenity as you drive in. Our check in was smooth and we were taken to our room on a golf cart - a... more

Stayed at the hotel for 3 nights, one of which was Valentine's night. It was magical dining under the stars in such a beautiful setting. Food and wines were excellent and the service friendly(some waiting staff can be so standoffish!!!) We had a suite, large bedroom ,comfortable big bed. Large bathroom with a spa bath, magical for my poor back!!... more

My wife and I were only able to stay for one night. The grounds are exceptional, very peaceful and idyllic. The room was spacious, albeit a little dated. Bed was comfortable. Restaurant was great for dinner, although I thought $30/person for continental breakfast was steep (we only paid about $80 between the two of us for a nice french-style dinner).... more

For the money, you can do a lot better. I agree with the other reviews that the setting is beautiful, but this is the case in most of New Zealand. Truly, this hotel is about 20 years overdue for a renovation. Our furniture in our room was straight out of the 70s and the layout is open space, but a... more

The grounds and restaurant of Hotel Du Vin are lovely. We had lunch which was impressive and then went to check out our room. The rooms are chalets in the hotel grounds. The rooms are very dated, worn, and in need or modernisation. The room was musky smelling and not very inspiring. The pool area was also dated. After spending... more

After hearing that Hotel du vin was just so-so I decided to find out for myself, The setting is fabulous, beautiful vineyards, the gardens some of the best in New Zealand and the warmest welcome ever. We discovered Spa du Vin and were blown away to find such a vibrant stylish Spa worthy of the experience. Truly New Zealands most... more

Recently stayed at Hotel du Vin for work for 2 nights (team training). I was looking forward to it - and have to say I expected more. I would not come back to stay here for pleasure if I had to pay for it. The setting is beautiful. The rooms are very spacious, but very average in my opinion. Cheap,... more
