Kiwiesque - Luxury Vineyard Accommodation Hawke's Bay — Hotel in North Island

We recently stayed at this venue for a corporate meeting, and it exceeded all expectations. Designed to comfortably accommodate a large group, the space was both functional and inviting, making it an ideal setting for team discussions, strategy sessions, and relaxation.

The conference room was well-equipped, providing a professional environment for our meetings while still feeling welcoming. The outdoor space was another highlight—plenty of room to step outside for fresh air or informal breakout sessions, which helped keep our team engaged and refreshed.

The kitchen facilities were outstanding, featuring everything we needed to prepare meals with ease. Even with a full group, there was plenty of space for meal prep and dining together.

One of the most enjoyable aspects was the cosy lounge areas. After a full day of meetings, these spaces provided the perfect atmosphere to unwind, fostering casual conversations and team bonding in a relaxed setting.

Overall, this accommodation was perfect for our corporate meeting — offering comfort, convenience, and a well-thought-out design that supports both work and relaxation. Highly recommended for any group looking for a productive yet...

I absolutely loved everything about Kiwiesque from the minute I drove up the drive. I was there for a yoga retreat and the whole weekend was taken care of to the finest detail. The bed and bedding was divine to sleep in each night, the furniture was so comfortable with many options for both sitting and eating at. I enjoyed using the spa and pool and they were so clean, and the perfect amount of outdoor furniture for everyone to have a spot to relax and enjoy some downtime. The surroundings in the vineyard setting is so beautiful and quiet with rural views from every window, yet close enough to town and local attractions. Justine and Bayden are the best hosts, with nothing being a problem - even transport to the airport and always done with a smile. The food was delicious and I loved not having to make any decisions about what to cook or eat and a weekend off any household duties - pure bliss! I highly recommend both the lodge and the villa (I have the luxury of staying in both places) to anyone wanting a getaway at the highest standard in every way. I can't wait...

Second visit to this superb lodge with my extended (16) family. It was a joy to return to this beautiful place which is like a jewel amongst the devastation of Esk Valley after the terrible destructive floods some months ago. the facility continues to delight, superb location on the hill, excellent highly spec'd rooms, gorgeous designer kitchen with all facilities and appliances, inviting open fire, and a wonderful separate dining area with a table seating for 12. whilst the lodge is largely open plan it is surprisingly cosy with huge sliding glass doors that give a great view of the surrounding area (albeit pretty devastating right now but gives us urban Kiwi's a sobering insight to what the residents of the normally pristine Esk Valley have been through). That did not deter us from enjoyment as our time was mostly spent in the property; apart from a memorable lunch at The Mission in nearby Hastings. Justine and her husband run an amazing facility - 5 star, and highly recommended.|We...
