Facilities
Guests at Plume Villas have access to the cellar door, cuisine and hospitality on hand at Plume Restaurant, a relaxed stroll from their private and comfortable luxury accommodation. Enjoy a superb meal while you take in the views!
Plume Restaurant
Plume Restaurant seats up to 90 people across its indoor and outdoor areas, and cosy areas such as the Wine Library, Nest and bar allow for smaller and more intimate gatherings, or a drink before your meal. As the cellar door for Runner Duck Estate Vineyard, a 5-hectare boutique vineyard under the same ownership as Plume Villas, Plume Restaurant showcases Runner Duck’s commitment to producing high quality, hand-tended, limited production wines in a range of styles. Tastings are available in the dedicated cellar door section of the building, and all of our currently available vintages are on the wine list in the restaurant.

The restaurant can seat up to 50 people indoors and another 40 people outdoors in our covered patio area. It overlooks beautiful landscaped gardens, our vineyard block as well as the spectacular hills and dales of the tranquil Glen Eden River valleys.
Bar and Foyer
This welcoming area has seating for up to 12 people and is suitable for meeting for a drink on arrival or just relaxing!

Petanque Court
Enjoy a target sport, throwing metal balls as close as possible to the jack, a wooden ball. The rules are simple, and enthusiasm is just as important as skill…
Swimming Pool
Just the spot to begin your day with an invigorating few lengths, or cool off at the end of a long hot summer day spent enjoying the delights of the Matakana region.
Plume Cafe Matakana
Right on the roundabout, Plume Cafe is a little taste of home when you venture away from your villa. It's a great place for breakfast before hitting the markets, shops and galleries. Or, if you've ventured further afield and you’re in need of refreshment, it's the perfect pit-stop for lunch or afternoon tea on your way back to our villas.
Our very own bakery is on the cafe site, producing fresh bread and sweet treats for cafe patrons, or to take home with you.
