We celebrated our anniversary here, and the entire experience was wonderful. To start, they surprised us with complimentary champagne for our special occasion, and a thoughtful handwritten card on our table which was such a lovely touch!We began with the bread, which was warm, fluffy, and absolutely delicious, especially paired with the browned butter. It set the perfect tone for the meal.For the mains, we tried the scotch fillet and the coffee-rubbed venison. Both were cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The vegetables and potatoes were good, though they could have been cooked just a bit longer for our preference. The Greek salad had a sweetness to it, and the dressing tied everything together beautifully.Dessert was a highlight – the tiramisu was one of the best we've ever had! Light, creamy, and with just the right balance of flavors.To drink, we highly recommend the lychee lemonade – it was a standout! The blood orange mocktail was also refreshing and flavorful.Overall, this was a memorable anniversary dinner, and we can’t wait to return!

A wonderful experience to celebrate our anniversary and also my birthday. We were greeted so lovely by our server and given a complimentary glass to bubbles and a lovely card too. The food was unbelievable! Our whole experience was top tier. The staff were all wonderful and made our day so special. Thank you all so much!

Stayed in the area for 5 days and found ourselves returning to Ayrburn four times, which honestly says it all.The surroundings are absolutely stunning. The setting is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and such a relaxing place to unwind. Every visit felt like a little escape.The meals were impeccable every single time. Fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour you can tell so much care goes into every dish. Whether it was a quick stop or a longer sit-down meal, the quality never missed.The staff were just as impressive. Warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Nothing felt rushed, and every experience felt personal and thoughtful.Ayrburn became one of the highlights of our trip, and we wouldn’t hesitate to return again and again. Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic. Everything from the grounds, the branding, the architecture is phenomenal. We somehow found ourselves back in Ayrburn nearly everyday on our Queenstown trip.The Bakehouse is really special. The breads are great and the ambience was so amazing.We went during the Christmas in July celebration - highly recommend.

What a place. Absolutely stunning. A pity we didn’t go during the day as the grounds are meant to be amazing. Still beautiful with the big open fire going. Staff were great and the food was awesome. We ate at the barrel room and it was a real treat. I think my favourite was the lamb but the beef was so tender and the plates of veggies all had great flavour to them. Service for drinks and food was also on point. Great work Ayrburn.
