“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%”

“Where the world begins its day, In the distant South Pacific spray, Lies Aotearoa, green and grand, A sacred and majestic land. ​From Cape Reinga's northern reach, To Stewart Island's rugged beach, Two islands carved by fire and ice, A paradise of sheer device. ​The Southern Alps, a spine of snow, Where azure glaciers slowly flow, Reflected deep in mirroring lakes, While Milford Sound its wonder makes. ​The geothermal heart beats warm, In Rotorua, 'mid the swarm Of boiling mud and steaming vents, A primal power that transcends. ​The kiwi bird, elusive, shy, Beneath the fern trees watching by. The Māori culture, strong and proud, With haka chanted for the crowd. ​The coast is lined with golden sand, Washed by the Tasman's restless hand, And waves that crash and softly sigh, Beneath a vast and endless sky. ​Of sheep on hills and wine in sun, Where ancient forests are outrun Only by rivers rushing free— A land of pure diversity. ​A spirit wild, a gentle soul, New Zealand makes the heart feel whole.”

The amenities, including clean restrooms and ample parking, add to the convenience and enjoyment of visiting the park. Highly recommend Te Atatu South Park for its excellent facilities, beautiful surroundings, and family-friendly environment. It’s a great spot to relax, play, and enjoy the outdoors.”

“Newly refurbished and it looks like a classical cinema. They also have a burger and shake bar on top of the escalators. What was nice was that they deliver some items (milkshake in my case) to you in the theater. Nice and clean and really comfy seats.”

“Awesome little park for kids It has all the things which community kids want”

“Teaching garden,was one of the first mentors Garden looking wonderful.”

“very nice dog walk around 30 minutes”

“Top notch customer service with very friendly team. We were served by Sophia who answered our queries about the menu and also was kind enough to take our photo. Its always a delight to come to Elephant Wrestler especially for big groups. They have plenty of space and kid-friendly atmosphere during lunch time. There’s a variety of food to choose from, always tasty, fresh and never dry. We enjoyed the pork belly and sirloin steak. Tiramisu is a must-have for dessert! We will definitely come back again.”

“We changed to Junior Junction a few months ago from My Kindy and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Our 2 year old settled in quickly and is thriving. The staff are so friendly, there is no staff turnover, and our daughter is happy and learning everyday. We couldn't recommend this centre more.”

“I like that Westgate Cinemas offers half price Tuesday tickets, especially since movie prices keep climbing. Most of the time I’m fine waiting for Tuesday instead of paying full price on release day, so it makes going to the movies more affordable and enjoyable. The cinema is always clean, the staff are friendly, and it’s a solid place to catch a film without breaking the bank.”

“Going to the movies in my opinion is a special treat, and it helps when the cinema has everything you need for a great time. Hoyts Wairau is very convenient located, and has plenty of parking which makes a huge difference, so you're not stressed before the film looking for a park. Once inside, the comfort continues with plush, comfortable seating that lets you sink in and put your feet up. No cinema trip is complete without snacks, and a good variety ensures there's something for everyone, from classic popcorn to more gourmet options.”

“After an initial rocky start with noisy neighbours, the hotel reception shifted me to a different floor. The old room and the new room were identical. Both of them were great and quite clean maybe 9/10. The bed was comfortable, also clean and medium firmness, which I liked. Shower pressure in both rooms were good. Generally, I think this is a good place to stay if you need to be on Auckland's North Shore. Interactions with reception and housekeeping were always pleasant. There were very, very minor issues like the kettle flap was broken, the dryer ran extremely loudly. I was a little embarrassed to use the dryer at night due to the noise. The towels were thin and could be thicker.”

“First time visiting today and we were impressed, the kids had a blast so we will definitely be back”
