I’d heard so much about this place and was really excited to finally be able to experience it over Easter. What a disappointment. We had the dinner set menu at $59 per head which I thought prior was really reasonable. My entree of salmon fishcakes was awful and had clearly been reheated in the microwave, it was hot and soggy, no crisp as you would expect from a freshly cooked fishcake. I then had the pork for my main which was served with mashed potato from a packet (even though the menu stated croquettes), so so disappointing, then the brulee for dessert which was ok but grainy. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff attentive, perhaps their summer menu will be better….

Absolutely wonderful experience, a MUST when visiting the area. Our waiter was fabulous – so funny, knowledgeable and efficient. The meals were superb and of good size. My partner and I are both from hospitality backgrounds and truly enjoyed our dining experience. We will most certainly be back!

My partner and I booked a break away over the hill as we wanted to do something extra special to celebrate the New Year and new decade. Tirohana was recommended by some friends. And we could see why! The place is stunning, the food was awesome (yummy 6 course), the service was the best I had ever had … and the atmosphere was just so amazing with great entertainment. And all the little extra surprises and things on offer were very welcome. Wish it was located in Wellington! But we will be back and highly recommend Tirohana. A really special place and a unique dining experience.

The beautiful Tirohana Estate was the venue for a weekend birthday lunch. Nine of us were warmly greeted for wine tasting, followed by the two-course lunch menu. I opted for the cranberry and brie salad followed by lamb shanks so tender that the meat practically fell off the bone. Only a couple of our party had room for dessert after such a sumptuous meal! Our service was friendly, efficient and attentive in an idyllic setting. A thoroughly enjoyable dining experience.

I travel a lot on business. So going out for a meal is something I am inclined not to do. But with my partner being a food and wine lover, to keep the peace – I compromise! Anyway, he took me out to Tirohana last Friday for dinner on the recommendation of friends. And I was blown away. Amazed to find a restaurant of this quality in Martinborough – let alone the Wellington region – as it can honestly rival the top places I have dined in throughout the world. The ambiance, atmosphere, yummy food, first class wine and especially the service was really awesome. Great value and to see a place so unique operating in NZ. I will certainly be back and am considering booking my 50th birthday celebration. A truly special place. Well done all at Tirohana.

My husband and I dined at Tirohana Estate during our recent holiday to New Zealand. The food was super, the service excellent, and the elegant setting and decor was truly evocative and inspired. Overall we were really impressed. We both thought that our dining experience was one of the best we have ever experienced and that Tirohana Estate has set the standard that few Establishments could rival – not only in New Zealand – but anywhere in the world. 5 Stars for us. In every way.
