Tours

Last February we were in New Zealand, with a group of farmers. One of our visits was at your "farm".

We've got a warm welcome, a wonderful tour in a special kind of train, and you- Harry- told us all about the berries. You let us taste them, right from the plant, especially fresh.

After that we were invited in the gift shop and the blueberry cafe. You played on the pianola for us. It was a wonderful event.

I had a special feeling, I felt "at home". You told about your life, the children, what is important for you and we shared our ideas.

I want to thank you again for the great experience.

Lots of love from Holland.

Hi Everyone, The Hamilton Workingmens Club 60+ subsection would like to thank all the team at Blueberry Farm for the visit on Tuesday 26th May. The Members all enjoyed the Tour even the few that got cold. We all thought that your shop was great and beautifully presented and Wow- Morning Tea Muffins were yummy and after the Tour was much appreciated. The attention and service that was given could not have been better and everybody learnt much about the process of the Blueberry Products. Once again Thanks Delwyn Burgess 60+ Treasurer *Results may vary.

Dear Harry,
On behalf of the Zipper Cardiac Support Club Tauranga I wish to thank you and your team for allowing us to have such a wonderful experience as we listened to your talk about your blueberry-growing venture. We appreciated, the facts you told and the chance we had to increase our personal knowledge about another NZ orchard endeavour. The humour you used in the telling was really enjoyed by all.

Our group also thoroughly enjoyed their lunches, the manner in which they were presented and the taste.
We were a group of people who have all had open heart surgery, bypass and/or valve replacements and are of course very conscious of our health. We consider we have had a second chance of life. *Results may vary.

Dear Anny and Hary: We returned home, Kunming Yunnan China, safely. We had a pleasant afternoon at your farm on November 30th and learnt a lot from Hary’s detailed advice. Thank you so much for your warm reception. I hope to meet you in the future again. Merry Christmas. *Results may vary.

Many thanks to you and the Mamaku Blue team for a great experience last week. We all enjoyed ourselves and the feedback from the attendees has been really positive. Typical comments were about the entertaining tours and amusing commentaries, the things they learnt, and the delicious food. I could tell by the amount of shopping that accompanied us back to the hotel that everyone was really impressed with your products too! It was an ideal activity for the wide range of participants so please pass on my thanks to all involved. It was a lot of fun! *Results may vary.

For my 40th birthday my husband arranged a weekend of activity in Rotorua. The highlight for me was the visit to Mamaku Blue Blueberry Farm. We took the Orchard & Winery Tour, and over the hour and a half we were treated to a personal, humourous, honest and thoroughly enjoyable tour of this lovely farm. After a the tour of the crops and the manufacturing areas we returned to the main building to taste-test the products. Every one was divine! *Results may vary.

Dear John, The Kapiti CWI members wish to thank you for a wonderful day. Despite the very wet day, you made us feel at home. The warm welcome, the delicious lunch and the fun ride to the packing plant will be remembered for a long time. The guide was entertaining and the tasting was great. The kindness shown by all of you made our day. *Results may vary.

I was fortunate to come along to your winery last weekend. Firstly, the hospitality and food were wonderful. On a very cold morning the welcome was certainly warm. Then, what can I say, I haven’t laughed so hard since I went on the vineyard tour.
I don’t think anyone of us who went a long would have had any idea of what to expect, but your owner was superb. The presentation was fantastic: educational and topped up by the wit and quick thinking of the presenter. Well done to you all. You are on my list of places to recommend to friends. *Results may vary.

Dear folks, Recently we visited the Mamaku Blue Winery. All 34 of us had a thoroughly enjoyable day including the tour of the orchard and chillers with Harry and Anne and being looked after in the shop (with the tasting and sampling) and the Cafe by John and his staff. Everybody declared they had a very scrumptious lunch indeed. We gave our experience a well deserved 5 out of 5! *Results may vary.

Dear Anne and Philip, I’m so pleased I opted for the winery tour. Philip, you were brilliant: your ability to inform, humour & maintain the visitors interest was praiseworthy – not easy with a “train-load” of Know-All female teachers! Well done! The group was delighted with the products available – hope the cash register was smiling! See you at the next get together! *Results may vary.
