Mudbrick was an amazing spot. I took my partner here on the first day of our 2 week NZ vacation from the US, and this was our first stop after I proposed to her! We took a helicopter flight and landed on Mudbrick's helipad. Hannah, in particular, was a huge help in helping me plan this secret proposal and celebration. We did the 7-course meal with a wine pairing and we had a wonderful time. The food and wine was all spectacular, and the staff were so generous and helpful in making this a special night. Harry, our waiter, did a great job to make things extra special as well. The view from the dining room is fantastic, as was the view from the outdoor terrace. We will remember Mudbrick for a long, long time as being such a wonderful part of our engagement. Thanks, Mudbrick team!

What an out of this world experience. We opted for the three-course menu option with starters and sides, and the experience did not disappoint.We were fortunate enough to have the best seat in the house next to the bifold doors taking in an incredible view with a light breeze and the perfect amount of sunlight.Our waitress was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about food/wine pairing. Can’t thank the team enough for this great experience, we loved every part of it.We’ll be back for sure 🙌🏻💯

Wining and Dining at Mudbrick: A Delightful ExperienceWe arrived at Mudbrick, driving up the picturesque driveway, which at the end - welcomed us with trimmed hedges and fragrant lavender and rosemary bushes surrounding the venue - so serene and beautiful!Their restaurant is a stunning blend of sophistication and charm, with meticulously set tables upon rustic brick floors, offering a breathtaking view of Rangitoto and the glistening sea beyond.We decided to indulge in the two-course à la carte menu. I started with the dry-aged duck, which was for sure a treat. The dish came with a crispy croquette of pulled duck, duck topped with prosciutto, and a luscious korma sauce that added a depth of flavour. The Pav was a stunning work of art: crispy meringue, cream, and gorgeous flowers garnishing the top – the dish was almost too pretty to eat (spoiler alert: I ate it and thoroughly enjoyed it).We enjoyed two glasses of wine each. I opted for the Mudbrick Chardonnay and Pinot Gris, and both were delightful.What truly elevated the experience, though, was the service. The staff were attentive by taking the time to explain the menu and each dish/wine with such care and detail. This really made the whole experience feel even more special.I can’t wait to return to Mudbrick – the sunset bar and the cellar door are definitely on my list for next time! If you're looking for a beautiful spot to wine and dine with a stunning view, I highly recommend this place.

Absolutely outstanding! The food was phenomenal—every dish was beautifully crafted and full of flavour. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who went above and beyond to make Phil’s birthday extra special. And the atmosphere? It felt like we had stepped into a completely different world—truly magical. The bonus highlight was getting to meet the chef, which made the experience even more unforgettable. Highly recommend Mudbrick for a truly special occasion!
