Reviews

Karen Bremmer

"We wanted to say a big thank you to everyone at Black Estate for the wonderful wine tasting and meal on Saturday.Given that we were booking ‘blind’ – we’d never visited – we could not have been happier. The location is really beautiful, the wines were delicious and the food, sublime. We’ve had so many comments about the Pet Nat, the reds… and pretty much every dish that was served! (our sincere compliments to your chef and their team).Thank you to the staff who looked after us, and also for letting us relax outside until the bus came to pick people up; we really appreciated that offer and it was a lovely way to end our celebrations.Finally, thanks for coordinating things from a distance – never easy, but again, we could not be happier with how our day turned out"

Thank you to Black Estate staff, both cooking and waiting staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our beautiful meal with you on Monday, to celebrate our son's 35th birthday, along with his wife. It was a great finish to their brief holiday over in NZ as they've now flown back to Switzerland today! Elegantly plated food, delicious tastes and combinations of local ingredients, helpful staff to explain the menu and a fabulous location. What's not to like?"

"A quick note to say thank you for a brilliant lunch event on Saturday. Loved every minute and every mouthful. Consistency is bloody hard in any business; especially hospo and you just keep delivering. Love it. Butterfish is just magnificent!"

Lisa and Rick | Wedding couple

"Words cannot come close to saying how grateful we are for the effort that you went to in making such a wonderful & memorable night for our beautiful wedding reception. Every single one of our guests has said how much they enjoyed the world class food + wine, the warmth of the team and the incredible location + night that we all had.And it is thanks to you all that made it "the best wedding reception" we could have asked for". Lisa & Rick
