Thank you all again for a lovely day! <3
This venue is beyond amazing. We had our wedding reception here and we loved everything about it... The food was tasteful, the venue set up was organized to perfection and the staff were friendly and accommodating to all our needs. The outdoor area is something special where you can take memorable photos. Our overseas guests were amazed by how beautiful the venue was. Thank you to every one at Settlers Country Manor for making our reception so special =]

I had my wedding here on Feb 17, and it was just everything I wanted and much more! the venue covers beautiful gardenscapes with ponds, tropical greenery, and gazebos making it one of Auckland's most photogenic wedding venues. The property is also just 15mins drive away from Muriwai making it convenient for couples to hop down for a nice sunset beach shot.
The staff are so friendly, professional and accommodating. The quality of food is amazing!!! Wouldn't hesitate to have my function here again!!!
The food was amazing (as always) and the venue speaks for its self, with an abundance of natural light that filled the room and a gorgeous set up!

Scallops shouldn’t be half raw. Not these ones anyways as they are not sashimi grade. Got a little sick. Shouldn’t use sweet chilli as well as that’s just lazy. Salmon looked ok but was actually very delicious. The steak was standard.

Absolutely impressed by my amazing dinner and experience at Gamekeepers last Sunday. The ambience, the service and the food were just so beyond my expectation! Great job, keep this up Settlers team!
We've been going here over the last few years off and on and the improvement with new management is fantastic. Great to now have service and food quality to match the venue and setting. Definitely well worth another visit if you have been disappointed previously.
What a beautiful place!!
Came here last Saturday night with my Mrs. and we were very happy about this dining experience.
Gorgeous ambiance, rustic yet delicate.
The food was so fresh and delicious, would highly recommend their lamb shank to all!

Would absolutely come back again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good night out
I loved this place 15 years ago for its normal and enjoyable food, ambiance and unusual (for a standard restaurant) decor. It just attracted me more. So coming back for our anniversary, after so long I was thrilled it’s just as I remembered. Great food, Not modernized to a white unfriendly, snooty big plate teenie weeny portion type of place with no character! Awsome keep it up guys! we will definitely be back.
Really nice food, great atmosphere and kidfriendly. Very friendly service who helped us made a good choice for the food and wine. Well done.
Nice location. Good price and have a good time. Will try again next time. Especially best for big function, wedding, celebration feast. Nice experience
Had a lovely evening shared with friends. Absolutely amazing place, food and wine!! Highly recommend to all!! Look forward to visiting again.

My husband and I recently had lunch at Settlers Country Manor, we hadn't been to the restaurant for a long so was nice to visit again. The gardens and out door area are beautiful and the restaurant inside is nice. We had good service and there was plenty of selection on the menu. The food was nice and enjoy a pleasant quiet lunch. We would like to come back and try dinner with a few friends, plenty of space for a bigger dining party.
A must place for any events of lifetime. Such beautiful surroundings and fantastic set outs. Recommended for anyone looking for a memorable experience.

Nice place for wedding and birthday party！Amazing view and great food！The staff also friendly and helpful！There also a pond in the garden！That was so unique！
Wht a fantastic venue for wedding, birthday or company event. Great indoor and outdoor areas with stunning settings, nice food and friendly helpful staff come in a package~ deserve 5 stars!
Blown away with this venue. My new favorite place to eat and take the kids! Great service thank you Dylan and the SCM team! Looking foward to the next time we come.
Absolutely fantastic food! Great portions, fresh, warmly served ! We also had cocktails and they were delicious ! All in all superb hospitality !!! In addition to this the ambience and interior of the restaurant is very welcoming, creative and refined rustic, that honours the heritage of the historic premises. The staff warmly greeted us every single time we have been there, which makes it even more so a personable experience dining at the Game Keepers Restaurant . Highly recommended !
Went here for drinks the other night on a random drive. Really cool hunting lodge look (stag heads and leather seats). We only had drinks as had already eaten. Cocktail special so only $10 each and really nice. I had a chai latte, nicely spiced and hot (good on a cold night). We would be back for food and wine another time as the ambience was great.
Service was a bit slow though (even though only half full) and they nearly overcharged me for drinks until I checked.
If your after huge portions of top notch food, it’s definitely worth the drive out to Waimauku to visit the Game Keeper. I have now dined here on two occasions, once for a friends birthday in a group of 6 & once with my partner on a date night. The Game Keeper is nestled around the back of Settlers Manor amongst beautiful grounds, there is plenty of outdoor seating in the picturesque courtyard when the weathers warm, the interior has a rather medieval theme which is a little dated but at the same time it’s quite cute. The selection of food is large & there’s great variety on the menu. On both occasions I had the eye fillet with vegetables & peppercorn sauce. I can honestly say they do one of the steaks I’ve eaten! The portions are also extremely generous, the cut of beef was decent & you get two sides of vegetables, one on your main plate & one as a side. Service is also pretty good & pricing is fair for the quality of food. I will be back for sure!
Food was not so great for the price, quite a dark place not very good lighting, however staff were very friendly, maybe not the best place for kids would be quite boring for them.
I was disappointed that our dinner party of 14 were going to get charged $50 to take our birthday cake.The other option was if we ordered 5 deserts at 12.50 each we then wouldn't get charged to have the cake.Good p/a with patrons will help get business especially that we were locals.Regarding the meals the entrees were good.The chicken was dry,No crispy pork crackling on the pork belly.The steak was enjoyed by those that ordered it.
My wife and 2 daughters dined at the gamekeeper last night,parking was a little confusing to begin with but not really an issue at all.We all loved the ambiance of the restaurant AND as previously mentioned only one staffmember running the whole restaurant.what an absolutely amazing!! job she did and that was approximately 8 tables averaging 4 to 6 people on a Saturday night!! ,I mean SHE was Concierge,Drinks Waiter,Barman,Waitress and Cashier and did not make one mistake ,I am still gobsmacked.Now to the meal,We had the garlic bread,ham & veg soup,tomatoe soup,schnitzel,chicken compote,fillet mignon,apple crumble and creme brulee,From the bread to the brulee every dish was still timely delivered and extremely well presented and perfectly cooked and very delicious.I very highly recommend this restaurant
We had our wedding here last year, and everything was perfect. I can't believe we had such a cruisy, faultless day. Bob the owner was very warming ad relaxed and helped us to plan our day with ease. The food was so plentiful and delicious. The venue and gardens were GORGEOUS!! I can't rave highly enough about this place! Thank you so much Bob and the team
My fiance and I held our Engagement Party at Settlers on the 10th of November inside the Gamekeepers Lodge. Prior to the function, we came in numerous times to talk with Rob to make sure everything went according to plan on the night. He was very accommodating and is a lovely man! On the night, the venue looked stunning!!!
My fiance came in earlier with a few friends and helped set everything up. We had one fabulous woman, I think her name was Missy, looking after us the entire night and she was such a trooper! We were told we would have more than one person looking after us but the other girl called in sick and there was also a wedding next door (which we didn't hear a peep from) but Missy was just great at looking after us.
Everybody loved the venue and the food, I would highly recommend Settlers as the best venue in West Auckland! Especially since it's also the most affordable!!!
Beautiful food. Lovely surroundings.
Waitress did well considering she was on her own. Meals and drinks came really quickly. I'd happily dine there again.
A change in scenery and food. Had a family dinner and was quite a different palate of food to the norm I've had. Highly recommended for those who are passing by to dine.
Definitely the best fish and chips I had in my life... And believe me I had too many! Rest of the menu looks amazing as well. A hidden gem in West auckland, run like a proper eatery you'd find in places where good food is celebrated and not your usual mediocre kiwi business! Hats off guys ❤️❤️❤️
We went there to celebrate our close friend's 80th birthday celebration, and it was memorable. The place is amazing with enough space to cater for probably 100 people inside, the outside looks super nice but the weather was unpredictable. The food could have been better though, and the service was a bit limited. We had a great time though, and wouldn't hesitate coming back.
Nice food but it seems it get more expensive every time you have breakfast /lunch. Looked for Xmas lunch menu $140 a person plus drinks we'll firstly my husband and I don't eat for that amount off money. So it is a no no for us and if we paid for 16 people that is a lot off money without drinks!
Had a beautiful dinner with my family recently. Food was amazing, unfortunately they forgot to serve my niece her meal with ours, but they made up for it with a few free drinks and her food came out after a couple minutes.
Would definitely recommend, and I will be going back.
Place is very cool and the service was amazing but the food was just so mid. It was so bland and wasn't really good. I would recommend this restaurant to people who are here for the aesthetic not the food.
Special experience as a Friday lunch. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, the dishes are very exquisite, different and each with a touch of theatrics which adds to your experience. Lovely property, would definitely come back.
The food was delicious.The waiter was open about the wait on drinks. We were the only group there for lunch at the time and the food came out fast and hot.The truffle fries were amazing and the portions were huge.The dessert was small and perfect size after a huge lunch 🥰 Very clean bathrooms as well!
beautiful food and drinks, some of the best pulled pork i’ve had! definitely recommend
A location we are starting to love, amazing staff and food, interesting building. Can't wait to go in summer and sit outside in garden (if possible?).
