“Fryco Products began it’s life in the 1950’s based out of Grey Lynn. Being a Post War engineering firm which developed to assist factories which were gathering steam as wartime restrictions were relaxed. This momentum continued throughout the 1950’s where manufacturing output rose more than 30%”

“My daughter had the best birthday! Thank you to the amazing Team and Sonja for being so kind and helpful through out the planning! What an amazing venue and best staff! We had so much fun and the room was just perfect!!”

“We've been here with our 3 kids a couple of times now and we've had a great time! The kids loved it! There is a lot of variety in the activities and the food is awesome. Highly recommend.”

“My daughter had a wonderful birthday party at MagicLoft! The food and the decorations were perfect (I just used their default decorations in the package and brought some Stitch balloons).”

“This place is perfect for an hours entertainment and fitness for toddlers, kids and adults. It’s quieter and has a more local feel so that the instructors can play with the kids and the little ones have space to jump and run. My mum has brought my son here for their toddlers play hours during the week and they loved that too!”

“I’ve taken my kids to Auckland Adventure Park a few times and they absolutely love the luge and the 4D cinema! It’s a fantastic place for children aged 4 through to teens. For younger kids—especially those in preschool and primary school—it’s an amazing venue for birthday parties. Their castle-themed party room is a real highlight, perfect for children who love medieval and knight-themed adventures. For older kids, the zipline and VR games offer plenty of excitement too. Highly recommended for a fun family day out or a memorable birthday celebration!”

“We had my son’s 3rd birthday here over the weekend and it was such a great experience. Everything was handled really well and I didn’t have to worry about anything at all. The party host Kaira was so attentive and lovely and made us all feel very welcome. The rooms was decorated nicely , the food was all out very quick and the kids had so much fun! Thanks so much! We will be back for sure :)”

“Great experience! one of the staff in there is really friendly and listens to your needs regarding your coffee and pies helps to meet your expectations! Definitely recommend to anyone who lives across silverdale to give this place a shot!”

“Wonderful place to walk the dog and explore. Massive open space with plenty of obstacles, ponds (one cement and one natural), and mini bush walks. Dogs are allowed off leash (under control). Also noting there are quite a few horses nearby/neighbouring the reserve.”

“My son attended Bayview Kindergarten and he absolutely loved it. My daughter is there also and about to 'graduate' to school. I have found the teachers competent, caring, and absolutely lovely.

Lifeguards included as well!”

“This indoor playground is a must to visit with your little ones. It's our first time coming in here and so far the cleanest we have been compared to other indoor playgrounds, cafe has a lot of tables too and you can just watch your children having fun while you enjoy your coffee. My 17 months old definitely had so much fun in here. Looking forward to comeback again.”

“If you're looking for a hostel in Auckland, go here! My stay here was almost three months. It's mainly occupied by young students, as the hostel is located 100 meters from the university. Depending on whether you want one, two, or no windows, you'll get a single room for between $190 and $230 per week (as of November 2022). You'll share a bathroom and kitchen with about 6-7 people. If you stay here for a while, you can make friends. A garage, Wi-Fi, etc., is all available. You do have to pay a $600 deposit, though. You'll get it back after your stay if you don't damage anything. I've heard from some owners that the windowsills broke and they still got their deposit back.”

“Staff members are always kind and respectful to kids and parents. My daughter been there since year one and always happy to stay there.”

“Great country school environment ... don't be afraid to have high expectations, it's your childs' future.”
