"It was hair-raisingly fab," Mrs Winters said.
Age Concern also catered for those who were unable to attend the lunch and packed 40 lunches, which were then delivered.
Meanwhile, lunch organiser at Pukemokimoki Marae Maureen Mua said they also had an "amazing" day.
"It was absolutely brilliant and I am just so grateful to everyone who donated their time, money and food for the occasion."
This was the first time the marae had hosted the event, which was usually held at the All Saints Church in Taradale.
Ms Mua said the Board of Trustees offered the marae as a place to enjoy Christmas lunch and to give back to the community.
"We just wanted to spread the Christmas cheer and give to those people most in need. We met some great people and had a good group of volunteers."
Ms Mua had solo travellers, families and elderly all come in to enjoy the Kiwi meal.
"I met a girl who arrived in the country two days ago from Perth and this was her first time away from family and friends so she came and had lunch with us, it was really nice."
She also had never been on a marae so Ms Mua gave her and others a tour.
"I think the venue worked really well," Ms Mua said.
The group of volunteers then carried on the Christmas cheer in to the evening packing dinners for the guests to enjoy in their own home.
Napier City Council was one of the main sponsors and councillor Maxine Boag said there was a warm, inclusive atmosphere.
"It was very enjoyable and we all worked as a team while prepping, serving and eating. There was a lot of good will about, it was a brilliant day."
