We arrived from a wine tasting at Cloudy Bay who recommended the Rock Ferry for lunch. A picture perfect setting surrounded by vineyards set the scene. We received a warm welcome and were soon seated in the dining area. All staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. Starters were the artisan warm bread selection with a bowl of mixed olives which was just right. The Pinot Noir from Otago was perfect with our dishes. Mains of salmon sourced from near Mt Cook was outstanding, set on a bulgar salad with brocoli, spinach and rocket. After such a fabulous mains we had to try the dessert and the poached pear and almond with icecream rounded out our lunch with a coffee. A party next to us was celebrating a birthday and the staff obliged with a cake. The atmosphere was so relaxing and even though the menu options were limited, the quality was high. You will not be disappointed!

Hans Herzog was recommended on Wine Enthusiast, I believe, and I believe I will never trust that source again as most of the places I went based on recommendations from that platform were snobbish and overrated, Hans Herzog being one of those. My husband and I decided to splurge on lunch. My husband ordered the steak. First of all, they use a sirloin cut, which is good if you are on a diet, but does not have the fat content to satisfy a diner paying top dollar. Also, they didn't give him a steak knife?!? Rookie mistake. I ordered the gnocchi and was also underwhelmed with the lack of flavor and kid-like display. The grounds are picturesque, but not worth the pricey dollar sign on the lackluster lunch. If you want a truly amazing meal, drive southeast toward Oamaru and eat at Riverstone Kitchenâbest restaurant on the South Island, hand down.

I've got to say first off we aren't great pub goers. We had wine rather than beer which was just ok. It is a local hangout, so was busy in spurts and service not to attentive. The beer garden wasn't particularly beautiful.

Took the opportunity to book an evening meal at Twelve Trees for a birthday celebration. Welcomed at the door, lovely table close to the fire and friendly, efficient service. My meal was one of the best I have had the pleasure to experience. Well thought out dishes with a fantastic blend of flavours, without "trying too hard". Absolutely loved the beets and goats cheese and the ginger medley dessert was gorgeous (ok I'm a huge ginger fan). All reasonably priced too. Thanks to the team at Twelve Trees for memorable evening out.Thank you so much for choosing our restaurant to celebrate your birthday. I'm so pleased it was a memorable evening for you, and you loved the food and service. Thank you so much for the review. We look forward to seeing you again.

It has been a long time since I felt like my meal has been created from start to finish by a chef, as opposed to a cook. Can not recommend highly enough.

We ate lunch here twice during our stay as the food was excellent and the service also good. The mussel chowder was delicious and the salmon salad contained a tasty variety of ingredients. Inside you are warmed by a huge fireplace and outside the sun shines on the tables. You are welcome to do a wine tasting which is fun.

Thus the whole crew assist and become catalysts to create an enjoyable overall experience that I find clears away the stress's of the day and supports the "togetherness factor' between those who you are with and the Arbour Crews.
