Love going to this place as do several of my visitors. OK not the most high fulutin place but reasonable and food cooked fresh. Maybe I'm prejudiced as one of my daughters married here and we all had a great time. Not expensive.

I absolutely love this place you wait maybe 15 minutes for your food and 3 minutes for the person to come over and the service is always lovely. But honestly the prices are good and I always get a $10 lunch. Unless you are in a race to leave so what you wait a while for food I usually have company when there and in that time I talk and have a laugh with whoever is with me.
Most enjoyable experience. $10 lunch menu offered good variety, good Gluten Free options, decent sized portions and plenty of flavour.
Atmosphere in inside/outside area was relaxing and the team were really pleasant.
Really glad we chose The Winemakers Daughter today, our first visit there.
My family have had lunch at the restaurant on many occassions and always recommend the $10 lunch menu, great value, good sized portion and delicious. Staff have always been friendly and helpful and looking forward to our next family lunch on sunday
I recently used the Winemakers Daughter for the changeover of the Lions Club of Waikanae. Mike and his team provided an excellent buffet meal for the occasion and it was well priced too. There was a good variety of food and the staff were excellent. Thanks for an enjoyable evening.Terry President Lions Club of Waikanae
The Winemakers Daughter never fails to impress. We got here a lot as its our favourite. The $10 menu is great value for money. Today there were three large parties having Christmas lunch and although the staff were rushed off their feet they still managed to get the meals out within a very short time frame, cheerfully serving us. The Leek, Potatoe and Fish Fritters are to die for. I am surprised reading some of the negative reviews as time and time again we return here and have always had great meals, great service and a very pleasant place to visit.
Great lunch at the winemakers daughter, service was excellent , not rushed. Seafood fritters, lambs fry and bacon.....all great meals will definitely being going back. Awesome setting. Really surprised at some of the reviews, I couldn't fault it
I stopped in here with a group of friends on our way through. The waitress was lovely and drinks were ordered and severed promptly. We all ordered from the $10 menu. The food was delivered hot, the only fault being there were no sauce(s) offered. I will definitely be stopping there again.
Went to this restaurant after asking a group of friends for a suggestion for somewhere to lunch in the area. We were a group of fourteen adults of varying ages. I am surprised to read some of the reviews on this site and can only presume that it has a new chef or owner. Most of us ordered from the $10 lunch menu and were very pleasantly surprised by the quality and good value for money that we received. There were two vegetarians among the group and they were well catered for as well. All of the food was fresh and delicious.They were fully licenced and the price of the wine was not over the top which is always good for a group with varying budgets. We sat in the outer area of the restaurant and loved the outlook onto the trees and gardens.We all agreed we would return again and would suggest this cafe to anyone for a good value lunch.
sorry Jane i thought that it great they had no need 2 take our coats because its not a fancy restaurant its an wonderful family restaurant which the food was appetizing it filled you up fast the only way you would be seated in a good seat was if you would book because MANY people enjoy going there so it is very busy love it love it love it!!!4 stars ****
Great hidden gem, menu with options for everyone (meat, seafood and vegan), value for $$ and coffee was delish. Seating in covered porch as well as inside. Open from 1130 for lunch. We'll be back!
Amazing service at an absolutely stunning venue. The staff went above and beyond! Absolutely recommend for any function or event or even just a lovely lunch location 🙏🏼💖
Lovely atmosphere with great service and yummy food
Great place for groups for any occasion. So friendly, great surroundings, great menu, great fresh beautiful food, just great 👍😄
I had not been here before, and had always driven past as in was set off the motorway, but today I did, and I am do pleased that I did. They cater for large groups, as well. They only do lunches though. We were very impressed with the delicious steak and fish on the blackboard menu.
It was a relaxed venue looking out to splendid trees in a park like setting to create a peaceful area. It was good value. The home made vegan Icecream was delicious. I would definitely come again for lunch. They also have a children's menu.

Tasty interesting buffet food and fabulous desserts for our group of 40 people. Lovely rustic setting with flowering bougainvillea and wisteria. A great option for a gathering.
The Winemakers Daughter is a hidden gem. Situated down a long driveway off State Highway 1 between Te Horo and Otaki you could easily speed past. But it’s well worth the stop. A great variety of vegan and vegetarian items on the menu but it also caters for meat and seafood eaters as well. Lunch starts at $10 - there are around 5 items at that price and a similar number at $12. Recommend the Pot pies served with homemade wedges and salad for$14.50 but the Fish Leek and Potato Hot cakes on the $10 menu are hard to beat.
Relaxing rustic atmosphere, the food is fantastic . Great friendly country service.
One of my favorite places.
Had a good time. Nice and relaxing
They were absolutely 💯 wonderful. They hosted my wedding and I couldn't be happier the food was great, the atmosphere was very chill and the venue itself was stunning. Thank you for being so amazing and making my day happen
