I had a total of 2 lunches here and it was superb.
I had their salmon, roasted chicken and fish&chips and they were incredible.
Taking away 1 star because their continental breakfast was quite poor. VERY VERY limited choices for the price that we paid for. I was honestly shocked when the staff told me I could only take from the 4 choices on top of the shelf and some plin sliced bread. Not worth it.
Located in the ground floor of Heritage hotel and offers a great setting especially when seated by the window overlooking the mountain. Their breakfast was freshly cooked - bacon, scrambled eggs, mushrooms and hash browns, croissant and variety of bread are always available. For dinner, having a kid’s free with a paying adult offer was hard to resist too. We tried the fish of the day and pork belly and they were good. The staff provides excellent customer service and our food arrived fast.
Had their breakfast buffet which had hardly vegetarian menu but hashbrown , rice n maple beans . Also the continental breakfast .
Another day ordered the tantiolli pasta n removed beef to make veggie . Was ok

A spectacular spot for your brunch, the Mackenzies Restaurant does what is expected well and has some excellent service staff.
For full transparency, my brunch was paid for by my company so perhaps my brunch experience may be different. Looking in, it may seem feel like you will only get a limited brunch buffet option but I can assure you that the brunch buffet had a myriad of selections. I really enjoy how they had shot glasses filled with Chia seeds and raspberry yogurt or muesli and strawberry mix.
A variety of health-conscious options that do inspire appetites, I couldn’t resist trying a few of the chia shot glasses.
A full brunch with basically everything you could ask for while looking out over the lake is a pristine moment that is probably worth the price of the buffet itself, I would highly recommend those staying at the Heritage to have at least one meal looking over the vast beauty of Queenstown.
Showstopper: Creative little shots of muesli, oats and chia seeds.
Overall Grade: B+
Great friendly place , staff were amazing , food well priced . Didn't have wait to long for food . And you can watch your food being cooked , friendly chefs . Will be going here again during our stay . Well worth the price ... awesome works guys !
We had breakfast here, and made full use of the buffet options, and I was suitably impressed. Normally buffet breakfasts are a bit hit or miss, but we were early, no one the bother us, and the food looked fresh and well presented! The chef also offered to make omelettes etc but I stuck with scrambled eggs and bacon, followed by fruit and yoghurt!

My companion and I chose Mackenzies for our first dinner in Queenstown as we’re staying at the Heritage. We noticed that it’s been a while since a review so here is an update.
The menu is simple and provides enough of a range to suit anyone’s pallet. There’s a dedicated vegetarian and vegan menu and, they can cater to dietary requirements although best to speak with the Maître De / Restaurant Manager about what can be accommodated.
We had the Baked Feta and Crispy Chicken options from the Entrée menu, alongside sides of mash potatoes and roast vegetables. This was a great amount of food for 2 people. We also had room for desert and the lava cake is recommended. I was able to obtain a cream-free option as I am lactose-intolerant.
I can’t rate the staff service enough. A special appreciation goes to Yuka whose service and standards are fantastic. The chef was also great - which goes to show that it’s not always about it going perfect but the people who can help out when something doesn’t go quite right. All in all, would recommend dining here for dinner!
We LOVED it here. First real good meal we had in New Zealand lol. Had the pumpkin soup of the day, was so satisfying and seasoned really nicely. Also had the steak, which was just absolutely bang on. The lamb was insanely delicious also. I would however avoid the desserts, but it didn't take from the whole experience (seriously though, please don't call your cheesecake a japanese souffle cheesecake if it's not cooked like a souffle cheesecake, had my hopes up 🥲). Jokes aside, amazing service and savoury food. Thanks for a great meal
Every dish we ordered was absolutely exceptional and our waiter was so friendly and hospitable. We ordered the seafood chowder, Mackenzie's salad for entre, porkbelly and zucchini risotto for mains followed by the most magnificent peanut butter ice cream cake.
Great atmosphere, great service, delicious food - would 10/10 recommend dining in if staying at the gorgeous Hertiage Hotel in Queenstown. Well worth it!
Very tasty (especially salmon and steak), friendly staff, I strongly reccomend :)
Beautiful diner tonight, pork belly and the pasta of the day and the lovely choc lava was the best
Started this delicious evening with garlic and lime king prawns.
They nailed it. Taste and presentation were outstanding.
Next plate was fish of the day. I'm more of a red meat eater although I opted to step outside of my comfort zone and wow Im so glad I did. The fish was succulent and moist perfectly cook and the other flavors added to the dish were outstanding with the fish. Thanks chef.
The drinks and wait staff were extremely attentive and professional.
Duck pate to start. 5 star. Only critique is that there was a bit too much food for a starter ......but better than not enough! Good for two people. Main - Lamb was out of this world 5 star, best Ive had. Staff were friendly and attentive. give this place a go!!
