“Very friendly team, beach setup/decor with lots of plants. Very busy Cafe with relaxed atmosphere, lots of green plants, can tell the owner is into sustainability - reusable mugs for "have here" customers (looks like you choose your own mugs too), biocups made from plants not oil for takeaway coffee, and even the takeaway cup holders were made of milk cartons! The coconut Latte I had was very nice. Will definitely be back!”

“We visited Paint the Earth for part of our end-of-year celebration, and it was a truly lovely experience. The studio has a calm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately helps you slow down and feel at ease. The session was thoughtfully guided, supportive without being prescriptive, which made it accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of prior experience. It was a wonderful way to spend time together, unwind, and reconnect after a busy year. We left feeling relaxed, uplifted, and proud of what we had created. Thank you for such a thoughtful and well-run experience. We would happily recommend Paint the Earth and would love to return in the future.”

The food is incredibly flavorful and beautifully presented. We had breakfast here, and you could truly say it’s a breakfast for champions! If you’re staying in Auckland, this place is an absolute must-visit.”

“I had a great experience at Escape Spa in Takapuna. I had a triple action facial treatment which was long enough to enjoy it. On the next day, my skin looked much brighter and healthier, much more supple and hydrated. The couple of days after, since the vitamins worked within the skin, my face and neck looked glowing with radiant vitality. Highly recommend, very professional treatments and service.”

“Janelle, you are AWESOME!!! My best friend and I wanted a matching memorial tattoo. Janelle fit us both in on a Sunday afternoon, doing an AMAZING feather tattoo on us. We can not thank you enough for a tattoo that means so much to us and for your hospitality whilst having us in your studio. You made us feel very welcome and such a chill vibe.”
