Ocean View Estates - Ocean View, Queensland

The perfect spot for afternoon drinks.
We stopped in and enjoyed a wine flight each, which had a great mix of sweet whites to robust reds.
The scenery of rolling hills and the vineyards is simply breathtaking, creating a picturesque backdrop for any visit.
It's a must-visit destination for wine lovers, we will be back!

I went here with my mum and grandma, who is 89 years old. The venue was accessible enough for her which isn’t always the case.
The staff were so kind and welcoming go my grandma. They didn’t rush her and, on her request, gave her ice cream at the end (I’m sure it was not officially on the menu).
Apart from the wonderful service, the food and wine were exceptional. I could have stayed all day.

What an outstanding dining experience with the service, food and time between ordering, to kitchen to table far exceeded our expectations. Everything was cooked to perfection and presentation impeccable. Atmosphere and staff were warm and inviting and views beautiful. We cant wait to go back. Do yourself a favour and book your table today, (reservation a must) you wont be disappointed. We did not stay so cannot comment on the rooms but 5 Stars is well deserved for fine dining and wine menu. Thank you.

We were gifted a winery tour, lunch and overnight stay here and it was a lovely way to spend our weekend. The winery tour was fairly light-touch compared to others we've done, but the young Kiwi guy who ran it was very personable and knowledgeable. He was very happy to answer questions and share his insights. We were surprised by the quality of some of the wines - they were pricey per bottle, but very good value by the glass in the restaurant. The lunch was incredible value for the $90pp (drinks extra) as listed for the banquet. The food was very good (though could have been warmer on a couple of dishes - having said that, they were under the pump with the volume of diners). We returned for dinner and both of us had the seafood platter for one - to be honest, it could easily feed two if you were also having entrees and dessert. Nearly every dish we tried here was very good, but the seafood platter was a stand-out for value. Note they also had wild-caught barramundi on the menu. I can't remember the last time I went to a restaurant and saw that fish offered up wild-caught, so that's another stand-out. I look forward to returning to try it. A storm passed through while we were at dinner and the light show was an entertaining attraction in itself. The accommodation in the Shiraz cottage was cosy, spotlessly clean but more comfortable than lux. The bedroom was a bed only - no bedsides - and a bit on the small size if you are 6'4". (I think the Cabernet cottage has a better layout for two people?) Very basic amenities in the bathroom (shower pressure was good, but temperature a bit tricky to modulate). It's worth noting there is only one small reverse-cycle aircon in the main bedroom which struggled to pump out to the main area (noting it was February, the hottest month, and humid with storms about). There is a small fireplace in the main area which would be lovely in winter. A double spa bath sits on the main deck - we didn't use this, but it would be a nice way to unwind with a view of the vines. We finished up our weekend by purchasing a half-dozen bottles of their wine - not the cheapest but definitely good quality and unique. You could confidently gift them to fellow wine lovers. In all, a relaxing weekend that's an easy drive from Brisbane and well worth the trip.

Have had the banquette here 4 x times now I believe. It's a great place! Such a nice place. The food has been a bit up and down though, first time was 5-star, second and third time bad-mediocre (the horrendously glazed beef ribs on both occasions), and fourth time better again. Would really recommend it still though, you just have to be lucky with the menu on the day I suppose.

The place offers a visually stunning dining experience with a great variety of dishes on the menu. The presentation of each dish is great, making it a feast for the eyes. However, the flavors don’t quite live up to the promise. While the food looks fantastic, the taste is somewhat underwhelming and lacks depth.

On a brighter note, their cocktail selection is excellent! If you’re visiting for a relaxing drink with a view, this place shines.

My wife and I went for dinner for the Valentine’s Day dinner set menu . Everything was amazing . The food, service, location, the whole experience was next level. We will definitely be back

We've been going to the beautiful Ocean View Estates restaurant for several years now and keep coming back. They always have delicious vegan items on the menu that aren't an afterthought, their wines are some of the finest we've had and the vista of the winery and surrounds is stunning. The service is also always top notch and if you're after a lovely dining experience you just can't go past it.
