“Amazing hidden gem with a beautiful collection and the sweetest owner!”

“The shop has one of the Best board game collections around.. probably the best actually! If you're into board gaming, this is the place to go out west! And even in the wider Auckland area their stock variety and prices make it a worthwhile place to visit anyway! And the staff are gamers so can really help find the right game!”

“Very interesting little shop, worth a visit. Lovely warm and friendly lady behind the counter. She does all of the knitting, and it's beautiful!”

“Hi. I've worked voluntarily here for 8 months. This op shop is by far the best. The shop is beautifully presented and the wide range of items that are available are simply outstanding and of excellent quality. I would recommend to anyone looking for preloved items to shop here. I'm speaking from a customers perspective not because I work here. Come and take a look. Claire”

“The Shelf is such a charming coffee shop! The decor is super cute, with unique and quirky items displayed on every shelf, giving it a cozy and fun vibe. They offer light snacks and some creative coffee options—like the sesame coffee, which I regret not trying. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, definitely a bit different from other coffee shops. It’s a lovely spot to hang out or even do some work on your laptop. As for the coffee itself, it’s good, but nothing extraordinary. Overall, it’s a great place to relax and enjoy the unique ambiance!”

“Very helpful staff and good price.”

“Always like visiting! Nice and friendly and very accommodating!!”

“I love reading books and this is a store with… BOOKS! Of course I’m going to give it five stars. No, but really not every book store is created equally and some can be quite bad, but this one has basically all the books you need. They’re grouped in categories to make it easier to find the one you want. When I came here to buy a book for someone, I asked a staff member where I could find it and they were really helpful, even explaining the difference between the original version and a young adults version of the book. Apart from books they also have a lot of other things like stationary, games and toys. It’s a great store for getting ideas for presents because it has such a variety of things.”

“Carmel College is really pog and a bunch of these comments are fake. Also no random comment, the school doesn't give you an eating disorder .-. But I see you in the comments Bella Dimes.”

“Bruce quoted on and cleared my mother-in-laws retirement village unit. He came out of business hours, and his team were prompt, friendly and helpful.”

“Absolutely chuffed with these fantastic toys! GoGoKids, you guys are bloody brilliant - top-notch service and great value. Mean as!”

“We are so happy to write this review to share with everyone how amazing this centre and its residents are. Gyalten has given us an opportunity to work as volunteers through Helpx that we will always cherish as one of the many wonderful experiences we had in New Zealand. The Buddhist Centre is a very peaceful place. We participated in the Buddhist classes and enjoyed the experience. We are truly grateful for the people (the residents) we met there. They are wonderful people who have now become our friends. We highly recommend visiting this centre for classes and other activities.”
