Booking was very easy to communicate with and prompt replies
The front of house Josh went more than the extra mile to accomodate us (Changed my mind 3x) and always with a smile done promptly
Oh and by the way food was fabulous!

The eggplant tempura was a bit bland and I expected better for $34. One of the bathrooms had ran out of toilet paper.

The property is beautiful with an amazing building, which sets the expectation for a great experience. Unfortunately, that’s where the experience takes a turn. Poor customer service and exceptionally small pours leaves a terrible taste in your mouth. Save the time and head to the next Winery on the list.

Wild Estate is a great visit along the explorer bus stops while visiting Stonyridge next door. Ignacio is simply the best, full of energy and wants to give you the best experience while visiting the winery. Great wine and fun archery activity.

Our work team of 23 visited Auckland for a Team Building Trip and did a day trip to Waiheke Island and Wild Estate and it was fantastic! Sheryl was super helpful and communicative when booking which took a lot of stress off me as she ensured the ferries and transfers were taken care of!

We booked in for the Wild Woozy activities but due to the strong wind and rain it was not safe or practical to do the archery or laser clay bird shooting - HOWEVER the team had a great backup plan for us and we were not disappointed at all! Nacho and Lewis were our games masters and they were organised, energetic, hilarious and made the experience 10/10! We are a loud and rowdy group but they worked so well with us and matched our energy! Very thankful for their hard work in keeping us thoroughly entertained with the backup plan - I forgot it was even a backup plan!

We played games in their downstairs area which was big, decorated well, clean and very comfy! The whole venue is stunning and impressive, I would definitely come back if I'm lucky enough one day! Highly recommend Wild Estate to anyone visiting Waiheke Island:)

Also - Shoutout to our transfer driver Anthony! On time, So friendly and knowledgeable about the island! Great first impression of the venue as soon as we got off the ferry to meet him!

Beautiful place to hold a work function and thanks to Sheryl, planning of the day was hassle free. Staff were amazing, the food was scrumptious and the chef went out of his way to make sure that those of us with allergies were well looked after. The team building games were so much fun with lots of laughs had.
Highly recommend!

Recently, my family had a luncheon at Wild on Waiheke. We had a great experience; the service and food were wonderful.
It's a great venue catering for every age group.

Had such an awesome time here today. Got the Wagyu burger, Margherita pizza & onion rings, as well as the Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé & ginger beer. All were excellent! Very relaxed vibe, friendly staff, & we enjoyed the corn hole game on site too. Easily accessible by public bus as well, bonus! Will definitely be back, thanks so much.

We stopped in for a quick lunch and ordered the salmon and also one of the pizzas - sausage and cilantro. My husband tried one of the drinks - the Pimms, which he loved - local ginger beer was one of the ingredients.

The salmon was AMAZING - served cold which was super refreshing on a hot day. It was atop a bed of coarsely blended peas and fresh beets, and had lemon creamed ricotta - topped with micro greens and spiralized beets. SO GOOD. The pizza was also great and was served on a wooden board.

Service was okay - our sever was either new or not very well educated on the menu. She was unable to describe dishes in detail but everything was so good and we weren’t in a rush.

There were some lawn games and archery - but the archery cost a lot per person so we skipped.

Very cute setting with lots of outdoor seating!

Really big venue with lots of outdoor and indoor seating options. Service was excellent and there's an overall relaxed feel, not to mention all the different games and activities you can do. Tried their wasabi lager which was surprisingly refreshing (with a good hit of wasabi flavour!). The Chardonnay was a real standout too.

We visited the vineyard on Friday afternoon. Had an amazing experience and enjoyed the wine & food. The staff was friendly & accommodating. The service was flawless Will be back again.
A big Thank You to Jaz, Marc & Maya.

Disgraceful. Racially profiled and told the venue was closed despite it being a full hour before the advertised closing time. Proceeded to let other people in and they were still serving. Extremely rude staff.

Burger was overcooked and poor quality, salmon was just bad, lamb also way overcooked and borderline inedible. Our server was a young kid who acted like he was from another planet. It was like talking to a poorly trained AI that couldn't understand the simplest things. Entrees and mains were served at the same time for no reason whatsoever, which was amateurish at best. Wine was also mediocre throughout. Miranda was great so our poor dining experience was a real shame, but why would you go here when everywhere else on the island is better?

Delicious lunch! Didn’t do a tasting, and due to supply issues we wanted a sparkling wine but had to have a French Brut! We weren’t bothered, still tasted great

Did the Hop On Hop off the tour and booked for lunch at Wild Estate. Food was fantastic and lots of things to do. After lunch popped downstairs to try the flight of wines and beer. Great day out on Waiheke Island

Spacious place, staff were attentive and food came out fast. A nice place to relax and unwind, highly recommend the fried squid. Absolutely delicious and the portion was very generous.

The activities look fun and family friendly too. Would definitely come back!

So many vegan options that were delicious! I would definitely recommend wild on Waiheke for lunch. The vegan pizza was amazing and so were the cauliflower bites. Lots of outdoor seating too which was lovely in the summer.
