We had lunch at Zealong on a public holiday. It was an overcast day and they were still very busy. The staff there were all amazing - friendly, gentle and warm. We were seated outdoor with enclosed area and heaters all around if we do require. We had two children (7&9), but they did not have kids menu which was a bit disappointing. We ended up ordering a high tea for each of them. The lunch options were not suitable for the children.Food was great and the teas are a good compliment to our meals. Great presentation and good atmosphere here.Playground for the kids were sub-par, but I guess that’s not what Zealong’s main focus is.

Nice tea experience. Lots of fun juggling a tea pot up and down the table, certainly brings a cool dynamic.1 1/2 hours to incinerate what would have been a perfect cut of venison.Food otherwise would been have be excellent. Suggest ordering rare to get medium rare.Men’s bathroom was flooded a bit like a bathroom in night club.

Lunch at Zealong. We started with the crayfish ravioli which was amazing. The surprise was to find piece of decent size crayfish underneath the ravioli. Usually it is done with a crayfish mousse encased inside the ravioli and the sauce is so amazing.Next we had baby lamb rack which as tender, moist and succulent cooked to your preference. Delicious. And again the sauce was amazing.Next we had the chocolate cake with sago which was an unusual combination but worked really well together.We also had the blood orange terrine which was wonderfully fresh and light. I would say that this lunch was of a very high standard and thoroughly enjoyable.The chef changes the menu often so it pays to go soon to try out the menu.

Aromatic tea and outstandingly tasty food. The food is so well sauced that we ordered extra bread to enjoy without any leftovers. We would like to note our thanks to the chef. I would also highly recommend this restaurant to Japanese travellers who are not comfortable with English, as several of the staff have experience of staying in Japan. We were also surprised at how clean the tea garden was. There was not a single piece of plastic waste, which is common in tea plantations. This is completely different from tea gardens in China, where the taste is good but safety is not guaranteed at all. Among the teas, I particularly liked the pure oolong tea and the aromatic oolong tea. I bought some as souvenirs to take back to Japan and they were very well received by Japanese fans of Chinese tea.

There are only a few places you can recommend without any worries about. And this is one want to be one of those.The food was good. We had the high tea. Compared to other high tea, this one is small and has nothing really special. The pumpkin creme Brule was not set, and eggie.The service was bad, not attention to detail, not to the level expected for this type of location and price range.There are many other better high tea places in NZ for less money.

Our 3rd visit to this place of serenity.Last 2 visits, we ordered the high tea menu. This visit, we tried out the 2 & 3 courses menu. Our salmon was cooked to perfection, fish was moist with crispy skin, the slow cooked lamb shank just right, the chicken was very tender. Not to mention the King Prawn entree were yummy too.Only wished the tea would come as free of charge!! Definitely an excellent place to show off NZ fine dining with a view to our overseas visitors!!

It was the most beautiful experience. The quality of service and the high standard of presentation and the taste was exquisite. I had the braised beef and the opera cake. Both were presented well but the braised beef was the best I have ever tasted. The price reflects the quality of service and food but is not extreme. If you can afford Lone Star you can afford this wonderful experience with better surroundings. A place for a special celebration or a quiet date. You have to try it then go to the shop. Loved the tea and cup so much I got one for home.

High tea at Zealong was a nice experience. The selection was good and very good tasty, although my partner is not keen on fish and half of the savoury selection was fish. The sweet selection was great, would have been nice to have had one more piece. It was on the expensive side, but you’re paying for the experience. It was a winters day, and was inside, I felt the decoration inside was a little white and clinical.I was a good experience and would recommend the high tea, but not something you would do very often, maybe just a special occasion.

Pretty nice to finally visit after driving past nearly every day for 11yrs. We had the vegan high tea with Zelong Fire and Ice Iced tea. The food was lacking some seasoning but overall it was good and the iced tea was yummy. The grounds are in desperate need of weeding and attention to hedges being trimmed and general grounds maintenance as you'll see in the photos. We highly recommend Waikato Handy Men and Maintenance located just in Gordonton.P.s. the outdoor umbrellas on the deck need to be replaced as they're in terrible condition with holes and with the sunshowers we kept getting dripped on which ruined the experience a bit.

We enjoyed a pleasant and happy lunch with a wide tea field in front of us. I also liked the various sculptures on the theme of tea and the spacious resting area. The food was also really good. Weddings and events can be held here, so if you get a chance, please use it.
