Visited on my birthday with my daughter. Highly recommended for the views and the luge. Just a tip, three rides will not be enough. Had a great morning except for our experince with the Skiswing. Here's why...I am an 185cm tall ex front row prop forward, a big guy. When checking out the skyswing on the internet or their promotional... More

We rode up at dusk so we could see the views in daylight and at night. Dinner was very good....higher end buffet with heaps of options (hot & cold). There is also a chef on hand to cook up additional cuts of protein if the buffet options aren't enough for you.

We had a snack and coffee while waiting for kids to Luge and found staff very friendly - food was well presented and everything was clean - it was extremely busy as it was rather wet outside - was impressed to see staff drying off seats and tables for dinners outside!!!

Whether I go up for a quick cuppa & chill out on the terraces or wine & dine with loved ones in the restaurant it's always a very positive... More

Took a family here recently and they have such a fun time on the luge. Mum a bit scared in the gondola according to the kids but I imagine the kids played a part in this. The service is very professional and efficient

Stopped for lunch at top of the gondola Didn't expect much since the place was packed full of families and kids. Had Tikka and Butter chicken combo. Must be the best lunch I've had in New Zealand yet. Perfect balance of spices, beautifully cooked with Tikka Seared and slow cooked butter chicken - exceptional! And the view was pretty good... More
