“HAWKSDUN RISE ALEXANDRA”

Susanne and John the hosts were most accommodating. Went above and beyond with direction and help. Breakfast was exceptional and the room was very comfortable. Sorry to hear they have sold the business.

“Most enjoyable”

Great location Very comfortable bed Very clean Great breakfast

“A B&B to be recommended!😀”

Everything was 😊. We loved the accommodation very much and thoroughly enjoyed sleeping within a vineyard. In the evening we had a great Pinot noir from the host’s vineyard. The breakfast had a lot of choice and many things were homemade. To hear bellbirds was also special.

Best place ever 😊

“Beautiful property, lovely hosts, would definitely stay again and recommend!”

Beautiful, central location, lovely facilities, clean, tidy

John and Suzanne are amazing hosts. The accommodation is super cute and gives you a very warm feeling. Perfect for relaxing days in the region.

“Beautiful and warm, with lovely people behind this vineyard.”

Everything was just perfect. It’s beautiful, warm, and clean. From the start, Suzanne and John warmly welcome you and make your stay even better. Breakfast was delicious. Here’s a tip: book for more than one night, as you’ll be sad when leaving. I’m so happy that we found this place.

“Warm, friendly and like staying with family not hosts”

The couple were warm and welcoming, as were the fur babies. We felt like we were at home away from home. Like visiting family instead of visiting guests.

“Our stay at Hawkdun Rise was the highlight of our two weeks in the beautiful South Island of NZ.”

Hawkdun Rise is located on the outskirts of Alexandra a quaint village with a beautiful river running through the middle. however, Suzanne and John directed us to the historical village of Clyde and later Cromwell enroute to Queenstown. These villages are a must see with excellent restaurants, bars and history aplenty.

“Wonderful accommodation”

The hosts were fantastic

“would recommend”

“Lifesavers”

We booked this place as a mini break after a long period on the road camping in a tiny tent. We were more than satisfied with all the amenities, and wonderful wine that we were recommended with our takeaway dinner and our breakfast in the morning (wine with the dinner not the breakfast!). However, what really made this stay exceptional was the help offered when our rental car broke. We personally know very little about cars, but our hosts were quick to diagnose the issue, and helped with calling the rental company and finding a mechanic - basically did everything! Made for a far less stressful experience than it definitely would've been. We appreciate the help so much, as the hosts definitely went out of their way to help us, taking a lot of time out of their day. Thanks again!

I enjoyed every minute of my stay with Suzanne and John. They were friendly, kind and provided excellent accommodation and a first class central otago experience. I was very appreciative of their warm friendship, and high standard of hospitality.

Our room was in a gorgeous location, overlooking a sunny vineyard, just a short drive to the centre of Alexandra. Breakfast was excellent, but what was really outstanding was the dinner prepared by our hostess, featuring a lot of produce from their own extensive vegetable garden. It was definitely one of the best meals we have ever had in New Zealand! Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay another night.

“An amazing stay at Hawkdun Rise”

John&Suzanne are two wonderful people, so warm and welcoming. It was so nice to spend a night at their amazing property! They put up the Norwegian flag at their front gate, just for me, the bed was super comfortable, the breakfast was amazing - I could just go on…! Highly recommended!!!

“A very accommodating and pleasant couple who made sure we had everything we needed”
