Woodlands Estate - Homestead, Gardens, Venue

We had our wedding reception here on 21/04/2018. The gardens are amazing and the function room looked magical. We’ve visited Woodlands throughout the year and the place looks great across all seasons.

Very tasty BAO buns,but the bun could have been softer.Nice coffee and pleasant surroundings.

Been here for a wedding and now a leaving party amazing venue. The cafe is lovely too on a sunny day lots of space for the children to play. A lovely garden walk too.

Stunning gardens, a lot of history and “notable trees” here. Well maintained. Great function space too. Cafe onsite is good food but very busy so recommend booking in advance especially for 4 or more people.

About half an hour's drive from Hamilton.. Private and perfect venue for weddings, birthday parties, and other events.

The beer was warm, the meals were not worth the price we have to pay for with tehe wedding. We also had to wait over an hour before we had to call a waitress over. The sad thing is the negative issues will over shadow what was suppose to have been a very memorable and special occasion. We actually left early at 8.30pm.

Grate place for party and entertainment, nice countryside, lots of parking. Great to visit

Great gardens with a fantastic walkway to enjoy them. Easy access to a cafe for coffee and food. Worth a visit

I feel this Woodlands old Homestead needs someone taking you around to talk about the history of the house. The young lady was welcoming and said help yourself to looking through the albums and looking in all the rooms about the Homestead but I feel it needs a guide to create enthusiasm and to draw you back in time to 1872 when this was established. It was still a beautiful old house to look around. Interesting family photos. And bits of furniture around. More explanation in a plaque would of helped above the pieces or maybe a dining room table set up how it would of been back then.I am not saying this is not worth visiting, I'm just saying it needs a guide. Visit The Elms" tauranga and you will feel the passion and the history through the lovely elderly ladies telling you the history and you will be transported back in time."

Its a beautiful place to visit.Cafe staff Un-organised and have no idea who has ordered what.Though the table numbers are given to only few table, Staff move with food and drinks table to table asking did you order this. Also have to remind about the order are not complete.Dysfunction Team (Excluding the kitchen)
