Reviews for Terrace Downs
Magnificent views everywhere
Let me start with the view — OMG! It’s absolutely mind-blowing. The location isn’t far from the CBD, which makes it super convenient to get to. We stayed in a two-bedroom villa, and it was spacious, cozy, and offered a spectacular view from every corner. We also dined at the on-site restaurant for both dinner and breakfast, and I honestly can’t express how amazing the food and service were — top-notch! My husband played golf and he said it was a pretty good experience as well. The only hiccup we experienced was with the room keys. After our first night, they stopped working, and we ended up waiting outside in the freezing cold for about 15 minutes while my husband went to get replacements. But aside from that, the whole experience was magical, and I honestly can’t wait to come back again!

Always a Pleasurable Experience
This was our third visit in 15 months and we are never disappointed.Terrace Downs is a great place to get away from everyday life . Even if you don't play golf there are walks for exercise and views to take in.The meals are superb and cooked individually with a comprehensive variety to choose from. The staff are knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Chalet 219 is a large 3 bedroom unit but lacks any wall decorations/art ! We will be back ! Plenty of free parking and fast reliable wifi.

A celebration to remember
We booked Terrace Downs restaurant to celebrate our 50th Wedding anniversary. I could not have booked a more perfect place. The setting and room we used was beautiful. Tables set beautifully with cloth napkins. The food was of the highest quantity and presentation. There was so much food even feeding large eating farmers!! The surplus we took home for dinner but no one could eat another mouthful in the evening. The staff were obliging, courteous, efficient but unobtrusive. We had an absolutely fabulous celebration which none of will ever forget. Thankyou to all chefs and staff

Below Expectations
We stayed a night at Terrace Downs to celebrate a birthday and try out the food as recommended to us. Our 'Deluxe' Villa was spacious and had a good outlook, but it was grubby. The carpets were stained, the windows were smeared, and a good vacuum would have removed the fur bunnies and dead spiders from behind doors. The meal was mostly good. Excellent entree. But the wagyu steak was dry and chewy. The chef agreed, and we were not charged. A free wine helped ease the disappointment.

Lovely room with a view.
Our trip was lovely, we had beautiful weather. The surrounds were very picturesque. Short dive to the lovely Methven. Lots of children staying at the resort...
