"Cable Bay is a seriously class act and a credit to the island" Peter Calder, Living - Sunday, 4 March 2012
"Cable Bay Vineyard is a flagship for island eateries with many commendations to its name, including prestigious Metro and Cuisine awards. The complex is a stunning summary of the best of comtemporary Waiheke: sleek architecture, outstanding views, a love of art referenced by the impressive collection on display and exquisite food and wine matches prepared by hot shot chef Will Thorpe. The bar, with its bank of glass doors affording al fresco entertaining in summer, a cosy fire-place in winter and the magic of fiery sunsets and city lights all year round, is a fine place to meet friends and enjoy the small plates menu or before dining in the adjacent restaurant."
-Peta Stavelli, Waiheke Weekender, 16 January 2010
"...there's nothing more enjoyable than sitting in the afternoon sun, looking out at the spectacular view, drinking rose and nibbling on treats such as grilled prawn and chorizo skewers with sour cream and salsa criolla, dukkah crusted lamb shoulder with date puree, lemon yoghurt and meat juices or a platter of fabulous French cheeses."
