    The cider here is delicious. Even the zero alcohol drop. Friendly hosts. Great location. Decent food is the only thing missing for me (if there'd been some, I would have had another drink). A food truck perhaps if there is no space for a kitchen? I came here with a group of Ebike riders. And we were served promptly and politely. Thanks for the great experience.

    Can I give this place a 10/5 please? It’s amazing! We randomly saw it on our drive back to Bay of Plenty. I’ve had their beer here but didn’t know they weren’t based in the Bay of Plenty. So happy we found them! Bought three growlers filled with beer. Everything was SO tasty! I am in love with the Apple crumble cider! Such a chill place. We wish we lived closer so we could come every weekend.

    Easily the best place to visit in the Hawkes Bay. Fantastic range of ciders. Really nice lawn seating area. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Neat food options with cheese and cracker platters (would be awesome to see them expand on this). Take your lawn games for a full afternoon of fun. Take away your favourite drink at the end of the day.

    Perfect place to sit outside with an icy cold cider! Tasting platters available with a fridge fill of cheese and meats to pair with your drinks!

    Great place to come and taste a selection of flavours that they have on tap. They have some games you can play too. And you can buy to take home with you. Friendly people there.

    Great spot on a sunny day, with an incredible range of cider. Shame that there isn't much in the way of shelter for an inevitable shift in New Zealand weather.

    The tasting in the Cidery, was one of of the best experiences I've ever done! The different kinds of Cider, especially the apple crumble, was really delicious. Also good view with a nice opportunity to sit outside. The employees are really helpful, friendly and have good knowledge about cider and the production. Prices are really really cheap and there are a lot of different tastes, you can especially buy here. Would definitely come back.

    Great visit on a glorious Saturday afternoon. Taster plaster of 4 ciders for $15. Pick and mix of cheese, meats and crisps also available or you can take your own picnic to enjoy in the orchard. Lovely wedding venue.

    Wow, this is the coldest welcome I ever experienced in my 30 years of hospo! The blonde lady in front chucked us some menus, had her phone high in the air, busy texting about her drunken adventure from previous night and could not have been bothered with us at all! I know it's off season, but really!!πŸ₯Ά Not time for off service!

  • 5/5 Karen S. 3 years ago on Google

    Beautiful place with amazing cider. One of my favourite places to go to.

  • 5/5 Angela 4 years ago on Google
    The Zeffer Cidery is a great summer destination. Take a break from wine tasting and sample a tasting flight of four ciders in a sunny picturesque setting. You can buy bottles or flagons from the cellar door along with crackers and cheese to enjoy with your cider in the sun.

  • 5/5 Josh S. 2 years ago on Google
    Loads of outside space, great if you've got kids. The tasting flight is well worth it.

  • 1/5 Landis F. 1 year ago on Google
    Stopped by on January 4th. Listed hours were open until 6:30pm. Closed by 6:00pm. Biked all the way from Hastings to check it out, only to find it closed before posted hours. Huge waste of time. Would not recommend this business.

  • 5/5 Christine G. 1 year ago on Google
    Super friendly staff. Such a fun experience. Some food available for purchase like cheese and meat slices and chips. You're welcome to BYO food. We tried the sample paddle of 4 different flavors (equivalent to 3 standard drinks) shared between 2 of us $18. Make sure to enjoy the smell just as much as the flavor... especially the apple crumble and carrot cake. It is really an outdoors thing... so do check the weather before go.

    For the product purchase at retail from the NZ version of Woolies this is amazing in the balance of spice to apple cider. Please expand your market. It is dangerously tasty. Use with appropriate caution and all necessary approvals. Bravo.

    Great place - staff friendly & happy. Food fantastic

  • 5/5 Riaan P. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place to relax with a variety of lovely chilled ciders, available in tasting paddles, if you so choose. Great space to sit in the sun, play some lawn games and more than enough to keep kids busy too. Fantastic front of house staff as well, so the whole experience is kicked up a notch. Definitely worth a visit!

  • 5/5 CLAYTON T. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome selection of tap cider with a relaxed vibe outdoor area. Good food truck during the weekend

  • 5/5 Grace F. 3 years ago on Google
    Food and cider in one place! Craft and Co food truck soaks up the cider goodness. What a day to lax out, play a bit of field games and finish it with a gourmet burger or 2.. wicked!

  • 5/5 Aseem 3 years ago on Google
    Really thankful to Damon for having a chat with us about cider. Really enjoyed the tasting - there are some quality and tasty ciders to enjoy. Will definitely be purchasing Zeffer Cider in the future!

  • 5/5 Rookster 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely orchard vibes not too far from Napier city. Very friendly staff. Plenty of outdoor seating with benches, umbrellas, beanbags etc. There's a current deal on between Sunday-Wednesday with the Crafted & Co. Foodtruck which have the best burgers around.

  • 5/5 Jeanine B. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service, friendly and knowledgeable staff and a great venue too.

  • 5/5 Nick H. 3 years ago on Google
    What an awesome place for a visit, great staff and facilities. Lots of room outside with games such as Cornhole, Football, Jenga etc etc. Fun for the whole family. That's before I mention the cider which is fantastic, my personal favourite is the Alcoholic Ginger Beer which I drink slot and was the reason for the visit while on holiday. There is also build your own tasting platters, and a food truck that does burgers etc. All in all a great spot and more than I expected.

    Great place, lovely cider.

  • 5/5 Tabitha F. 3 years ago on Google
    Actually heaven on earth. Highly recommend staying next door at Meadowood if you can so you can just walk over. The lawn at Zeffer is a fantastic place to chill and play lawn games with a paddle or a glass of delicious cider. You can grab a chopping board and create your own cheese board with salami and breads too. There's even a 0% alcohol version of their crisp apple cider which is super tasty so your sober driver definitely won't feel left out or hard done by! Great to visit when they have events with live music and food trucks. Lots of flagons and cans to stock up and take home. Well priced. Family friendly. Lovely, clean facilities, super friendly and helpful staff. Loved it.
