Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I was taken with my daughter and her husband to celebrate my 82nd Birthday. I enjoyed every aspect of the occasion and can recommend the venue and its surroundings to others.

I have eaten here many times and throughly enjoyed the meals. Today was not its usual standard. The lamb was fatty and tough. Lemon Meringue was tasteless and meringue sloppy. Portion sizes seemed to have shrunk as well. Lovely venue and fantastic service.More

My wife and I went here for lunch today as we were having a weekend in Ferguson Valley. We had no idea what it was like as we had not read any reviews nor had it been recommends to us. Upon entering we were immediately...welcomed by a staff member and taken straight to our table for 2 alongside the full length window. Menu was small but varied, food quality was excellent , really enjoyed everything we ordered. Service was polite and enthusiastic the whole time.

Having lived in this region for 30+ years we're always looking for new places to go that aren't 120k's away. Right under our noses has been St Aidan's for the entire time. So finally getting there for lunch was a reward unto itself. And the...food and wine just added to the prize. Lovely grounds, attentive staff, gorgeous wines and a tasty selection of starters, entrees and mains had us ooing and aaing delightedly. And for a rainy Tuesday the place was brimming with people. The reason according to one of the staff: "We're open". And they are. Seven days a week. So just go.More

We have been to St Aidans many times in recent years but our recent experience has made us think twice about returning. There were four of us for a Sunday lunch at 1.00 pm A cheese starter was described as a 'three cheese ' taster,...and when we mentioned there were only two cheeses, another was just plonked on the table, no apology. We waited an hour and a half for our main meal, again no explanation or apology. The white chocolate tart for dessert was runny and tasteless. In the past we have always had great experiences at St Aidans and we understand they must have off days, but an apology would have gone a long way.More

After visiting the Wellington Dam and finding the cafe closed, we were really needing a late morning coffee. We were so pleased we found St Aidens. I said we only wanted morning tea and the staff member was still so welcoming. She took us to...a lovely table with a beautiful view over the back lawn and countryside. Our coffees and scones with jam and cream arrived very quickly. The drinks were not as hot as we’d like, but the scones made up for it. The jam was homemade and we were able to buy a jar there. Generous quantity of jam and cream. Homemade Florentine was delicious too. There’s also some beautiful local artwork to view. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, even though we weren’t interested in tasting or buying wine or having a meal (unlike some winery restaurants we’ve experienced). Highly recommend.More

A group of us visited St Aidan’s for lunch. We had 3 gluten intolerant people within the group. The selection of food is small but perfectly cooked.
