S.

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.

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.

I attended for the antique show so I didn't go into the main attraction. Everyone was friendly and it was good value. Concerning the main attraction, I have been before and it's definitely worth a trip. It's peaceful with the ambience of a summer Saturday in an English village. There used to be over sized games and go-carts to play with. The food was excellent, if slightly pricey.

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.

My Son & New Daughter in-law got married out there,, 5/2/22 Beautiful place with awesome photo back drops

J.

Hidden gem, great place for lunch, like you've been invited to a country house of royalty, but they've just stepped out. Huge cricket ground, with supplies for a sunny afternoon.

R.

Went to a wedding yesterday which was wonderful lovely grounds. I thought the food was disappointing as it was cold and the plates were cold as well. This is their source of business I thought they could serve hot food. The coffee was terrible now I think it is pretty easy to upgrade to a Nespresso at least and let the customers make a nice fresh coffee when they want it not in a flask.

A.

Beautiful old estate worth a look around the wonderful garden and old house We were lucky enough to be there for a wedding and couldn’t fault a thing wrong hope to come here more often

J.

A wonderful old homestead, a part of Hamilton City's history, set in park like grounds, and gardens. It is an amazing venue for a special occasion. The autumn colours were truly magnificent.

D.

Just a lovely place to visit and stroll through the gardens. Cute little cafe too

A.

This is a hidden gem. Great place to have lunch/brunch with your family. Peaceful environment in the nature. We came for lunch with our boys and they absolutely loved it. Food is great too. Huge outdoor area where you can play cricket, chess, run around. You can have a feel for a country living style away from your busy life.

L.

Beautiful relaxing gardens with free entry for all. Lovely paths to wander through and enjoy the atmosphere and the two Monet Bridges make lovely backdrops for photos. Fantastic area for people of all ages and although I didn't stop for a bite to eat I did look quickly at the menu and look forward to coming again for lunch. Gold coin entry to the house is well worth making the time for and learning some history of this location.

R.

Great building and grounds...

J.

We arrived at 12noon asked for soup of the day and was told wont be ready for another half hour. Ordered pork and was sick within 2 hours. Would not recommend that dish. Was disappointed in one of the waitress attire in old ripped Jean's not a proffessional look.

M.

Excellent surrounding , lovely walk. Friendly cafe. Beautiful home and history

K.

Had no idea the grounds are accessible for public at any time. The cricket lawn is a perfect place for a family get-together and the old homestead really takes you back in time. The Profs@Woodlands cafe is great too, delicious local produce and only 10 minutes from Hamilton. Will DEFINITELY come again!

L.

Beautiful gardens. Makes a great location for a wedding or other function. Also really nice to go for a walk and play with family. There's a large grass field in front of the cafe, where children can run around and play. Cafe (Prof's) is also really good.

C.

Great place to visit and wonder the grounds and grab something to eat. The grounds are easy to walk around and very well kept. While the cafe next to the cricket field has nice atmosphere and great food, with plenty to do for the kids.

A lovely sight that makes for a great morning or afternoon trip. There are mini walks where you go through beautiful gardens and bridges. Young kids can enjoy the sight as there are some fields a they can play with balls or own bikes. Older kids might enjoy hide-and-seek. There's also a cafe on sight that serves good food and drinks.

Had my wedding here on the 3rd of February. The weather wasn't as ideal as we would have liked but the staff were very accommodating to sort out where we could move our ceremony. All our guests loved the venue. The catering which was recommended by woodlands was fantastic! And they made our set up and rehearsal very easy and accommodating with all our little requests.
