The food was delicious, with the buffalo pizza topped with prosciutto being a standout, genuinely amazing and highly recommend.
The access to the river is a huge bonus too; the floating jetty was fantastic and made the whole experience feel extra special.
Landscape around the venue was beautifully maintained.
Will definitely be back!
We ended up with other people's food after saying it was not ours. It was on out table for two minutes before being removed and taken to the table the had placed the order.
I'm sure the does not meet food safety standards?
Our friends son had a fall while going down to the river, it was due to the stairs not being maintained. I reported the incident and have heard nothing from Mandoon. We also couldn't get first aid support.
Other maintenance issues, pot pole on the main access road as well as the speed humps now blending in to the road. Upside of you speed you'll know when you hit one.
The food was OK.
The actual venue is lovely with lots of seating choices inside and out.
Live music was also great.
With a little more care Mandoon Estate would be 5 out of 5, it's just not at this time.
The event coordinators were incredible. The venue itself can accommodate everything from a formal sit-down reception to a relaxed garden party, with contingencies ready just in case. Having Maya Maya accommodation onsite was perfect for the wedding party and guests. The food and drinks were faultless, and the service — from meal and bar staff to the coordinators liaising with suppliers — made the entire day seamless from getting ready, to ceremony, to reception, and even afterwards.
We genuinely hope other couples get to experience such a stress-free wedding. You’re able to be truly present and enjoy your day — and that is priceless.
Absolutely delicious food and wine excellently matched together, service was first class.
Fabulous setting a must do if you’re in the area.
Unfortunately, the staff left a lot to be desired — they were rude and a bit off, which definitely affected the experience. Great food and drinks, but the service needs improvement.
Beautiful atmosphere with a nice view of the winery. Outdoor and indoor seating arrangements. The restaurant is nicely decorated and classy. There are more restaurants outside garden as well.
Food
Food is excellent, specially the garlic bread is so nice. There and many menu options to choose from. Also bear tasting platters and great wine from the region.
Service
Good service but could be better with more friendliness.
Overall
Beautiful location and the area is covered with wineries. Great wine and good. One of my favourite wineries.
It was just the two of us with the delightful and friendly Antonella. (Hopefully I spelt that right)
It was a fun, relaxed afternoon.
Highly recommended.
The venue was magical and we are thrilled that we chose Mandoon for our special day.
The food and wine was phenomenal. We had to fight our kids who were trying to steal our portions of the canapes that were held aside for us. The portions for the entree and mains were much bigger than we anticipated and they were all incredible.
The service was impeccable and the staff should be commended on their skills and hospitality shown to us and our guests.
All of our guests had an amazing time and made comments throughout the night and afterwards, complementing how good the food, wine and service was and we could not agree more.
The girl behind the wine tasting counter was downright rude, seemed to take an instant dislike to us, I have no explanation as to why?
The whole experience was embarrassing, and we voted with our feet and walked out, went next door to Sandleford Wines, and that's how to do first impressions. What a difference. The end result was purchased six bottles of wine. Next year we are going straight to Lancaster. I don't know if it's bad management at Mandoon filtering down to the staff, or we were just unlucky with getting someone who was having a bad day at the office? Either way sort out customer service, first impressions pay dividends.
There were 8 of us I had booked 3 rooms
The manager at the reception was so rude! She had called me up later that day accusing me of taking alcohol from the mini bar and leaving the room in a mess! Which was totally untrue!!
The dinner was disgusting and the service was terrible!
I would never go there again or stay there
Her attention to detail and willingness to assist with every little query made all the difference. On the day, everything ran smoothly, and we were able to enjoy every moment stress-free, thanks to Megan and the fantastic team at Mandoon Estate.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the wait staff and their exceptional service. They were attentive, professional, and ensured everyone felt looked after, adding to the incredible atmosphere of the day.
We highly recommend Mandoon Estate to anyone looking for a stunning venue with an outstanding team. Thank you for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

We were absolutely amazed at the level of service, care and detail the team at Mandoon Estate has taken to help organise our wedding. Specifically, we have dealt with Megan and she has shown a level of hospitality like no other and personally, we hope others can see how much above and beyond she is in helping others plan their wedding.
A few things Mandoon did that really blew us away:
- Extremely timely and open communication - Always being responsive to our emails and questions even though it is months away from the wedding and also always setting expectations. Also, the staff are open listeners and really listens to our ideas without judgement
- Planning was top notch, there were a few things where we felt like both Megan and her team planned very well. For example, organising a van transfer from the hotel to the venue without us even asking and saving a plate of our canapes etc! Extremely thoughtful!
- Level of care - For our wedding, we had to translate our menus to Vietnamese as some of our guests were not native English speakers and Megan went above and beyond and actually provided us written translations for the food. We were really really touched by this gesture and it made us feel very welcomed.
Overall, the team was VERY professional and if we could do our wedding all over again, we wouldn't change a thing because of Megan and her team at Mandoon. :)
The sheer size of the estate offers a variety of options:
Chalet stays
Playground
Walk around
Pictures views by the river
Event space both indoor and outdoor
Wine tasting
Restaurant
I took pictures of the food and beverages from the restaurant and not the facilities. Honestly, you need to come by and see the place. Pictures won’t do any justice.
Service:
Well trained service crew. Professional, welcoming, polite and interactive team.
Ambience:
Calming, soothing and tranquil. Well designed and welcoming.
Food and Beverages:
Quality curations.
Try the ginger beer and the cider. You won’t be able to get the cider outside of the estate. Lovely and quenching.
Wine Tasting:
Well trained team with amazing service. The options are beautiful. Never an error to have Mandoon wines.
Every year when I get back to Perth Mandoon Estate is a must for lunch or dinner amazing.
Thank you Team Mandoon Estate!
The hands-on blending session began with a cool sparkling white welcome 😋. The whole experience was about 90 minutes. Took home a souvenir of my own blend & labelled 750 ml bottle 😁
About 25 mins taxi ride from Elizabeth Quay area. Also easy to call for taxi here to go back.
I would probably just get a coffee from the restaurant in a takeaway cup, bring a picnic blanket and read a book. If someone'e driving I might even buy a whole bottle and finish it the same day, to the detriment of my reading. You can spend the whole day here and it wouldn't be a wasted day.
Delicious tropical punch mocktail. QR code on table makes it easy to order. Food and drinks came out quickly.
We did go on a 43° day evening, it was a bit warm in there with a few flies but other than that, can’t complain! ????
I suggest going back to The Mandoon on Tuesday when they have burger and beer for $20.
We tasted some wine ????. It costs $10 for 4 tasting’s but we only wanted one for lunch so it was complimentary.
We ordered a glass of Verdelho and Grenache $14 each and ordered the Truffled Capriccosia $26.50 before sitting down in the grass under a tree with a view to the vineyard.
Note: 15% surcharge on public holiday

The service was great and the food was carefully crafted, well balanced and adventurous. Very cool
The venison tartare was my standout for the day but they said they will have a new menu next week so you don't have long to try it!
Update, returned about a year later and the food is still very good and creative. The menu is fairly similar but it was still fun to experience. We tried the lamb and Wagyu mains these times and I can definitely say they were delicious, both like eating butter with the beef standing out just a tiny bit more for flavour. Great service from the staff too.
