One of Auckland’s most revered destinations for good food, good times and good memories.

With a vision to bring a slice of his homeland to Kiwi shores, Croatian-born Ivan Simunovich likely didn’t know that in planting New Zealand’s largest privately owned olive grove in 1999, his dream would 20 years later have expanded to become a revered destination for events and celebrations.

Keeping founding values at our core, we’ve never wavered from the Mediterranean traditions that Ivan brought with him from the island of Brač: a commitment to the environment, a love of quality, seasonal food, and the importance of celebrating both the significant and the small moments with loved ones.

Today, the 70 hectares of olive trees planted in the idyllic rolling hills on the boundaries of Bombay are transformed into award-winning oils, produced here on our estate.

Those olive trees also provide a breathtaking backdrop for dining in our restaurant, weddings, events, relaxed get-togethers and outdoor activities. From our award-winning restaurant, to our exceptional venue, Bracu Pavilion, we’re firmly committed to sustainability.

We use eco-friendly sprays, recycled water to irrigate the property, and offset any carbon emissions with our 25,000 olive trees. We know that if we take care of the land, it will take care of us.
