Children's entertainment space in Auckland

“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.”

“My son has attended since 1 years old in the babies room and is in his final year in Montessori. Busy Bees has been an amazing centre and have some amazing staff who we will definitely miss once we leave. Highly recommend.”

“Good for 3-6 years old, Since the rides all require height.”

“My daughter has been attending Wee Wisdom Montessori Drury since November 2024, and previous to her joining she had been enrolled to several other daycares, kindergarten etc and not one of those centres did she enjoy more than she enjoys Wee Wisdom! I am so proud, relieved and happy that I have finally found a centre that caters to my daughter’s skills and abilities but more so encourages their children on how to become their own independent person! I have so much respect for the teachers they have been such a huge support to myself and whanau during the time we have been at Wee. A huge NGA MIHI to the teachers of Nido! Thank you for making the transition for myself and my son who has just started such an easy and comfortable process! I appreciate you all for caring, nurturing and educating my babies! I am confident to say that I absolutely recommend Wee Wisdom Montessori Drury! Nga Mihi Nui ki a kaiako ō Wee Wisdom Montessori he aroha mutunga kore!”

“Great fields. Dry and well maintained soccer fields”

“It's a funny old place, a park. I mean what do you park? A car, and it's stationary. What did I see at the park? Glorious movement. A league team training, a cricket team playing, a person taking his dog for a run on a bike. What the hell does park mean? Bloody Beaut, a sanctuary in the suburbs.”

“Great place for a walk. Peaceful, quiet n relaxing. Overlooks Maungarei/Mount Wellington”

“Nice play to sit and read your book or eat your lunch. Hurstmere Green is now an environment offering open spaces for events and entertainment, and better flow between Takapuna's shopping area and the beachfront.”

“Love this park, massive shaded area between playground (station road) and skatepark (taka street)”

“What a reserve. Named after princess Diana. She would have loved it if she was still alive”

“There should be a mat track around the entire ground.”

“Have been trying to find a decent park in the area. Highly recommend this. We brought our 3 kids here for fish n chips and a play. They have outdoor exercise machines. And the playground is super fun. Also nice place to have a picnic.”

“Great colours of night sky in the hood. Perfect for family walk-in-the -park”

“Chipmunks is awesome. The birthday rooms are light and spacious, the play areas, my daughter loved and said there was so much to do and keep them busy. The staff were lovely, the coffee was good and the food, ice creams and snacks available were great!”

“We held a close family friend's funeral reception at the Kelston Community Centre last week. The facilities were well maintained and modern, the main hall had plenty of space to sit down around rectangular-shaped trestle tables and cater for approx. 100-200 people. The female toilets were clean, well-supplied and kept tidy. There was plenty of free on-site parking. Great venue and location to celebrate special occasions and milestones.”

“Nice park, ample parking. Great for kids. Cool as playground as well as a flat area to cycle and play on. Nice walkway by the stream.”

“Definitely a must to check out if your in the heart of the city, was designed for the rugby World Cup but has since been transformed in a rec centre and exhibition centre as well. Was attacked by a tornado recently so have been sent in to do repair work will post more pics in time for update”

“Had our grad here and nice historical clean venue”

“House Park is the best for training, grass is sometimes tamed but still good for some circuit training or running races.”

“Good place to keep the kids occupied for an hour. Great little tennis club next door.”

“June 2024 A nice park in West Auckland. Well kept and includes toilet facilities too. Off street parking well marked out. Fields were currently marked out for winter sport.”

“Cool skatepark with loads of steps, ledges and interesting spaces to learn skills. Two pools and a great play area for little ones.”

“Great space for a run around and to kick a ball. Very well maintained. Our new favourite park!”

“Good to watch soccer and rugby Lots run their dogs there”

“Big park. Good for playing rugby or soccer. Nice small kids playground. Theres public toilet and town centre.”

“Great service when entered & while eating Food didn't take long to come out Taste of food was beautiful very flavoursom with generous size to share ✴️The butchers block that was huge size able to feed up to 8 ppl although could of done with a side of garden salad & the colsaw as the colsaw was to rich on its own & it was runny needing to be in a bowl but yes different salad to break the meat would of been nice, yes all the meat tasty & tender yes worth a block ppl ✴️The blacksmith cheeseburger was OK needed more mayo or burger sauce was a bit dry biting into it , was expecting cheesy flavor couldn't finding in the bite. ✴️Surf n Turf was on par with cooking steak medium rare prawns & muscles done right ✅️ just needed a bit more salad & sauce. ✴️ Ceasars salad✅️ beautiful meaty & tasty It Complemented the butcher block had shared it around so worth. ✴️ mash potatoe was very tasty & smooth shared between 3ppl was beautiful ✅️ ✴️ Garlic pizza bread was tasty ✅️ but would of just got a normal Garlic bread. ✴️ Jug of coke & raspberry costly & when got to taste had no fizz it tasted flat had advised the waitress she had bought out a new jug . When sitting and talking towards end of the meal felt rushed with waitresses coming in interrupted conversations by asking to take thing off the table & the supervisors other waiters lingering around the bar area to where they could advise waitresses of emptying tables to get ppl out sooner they got in . It was like that when eating we were seated not far and could see they were lingering around it was uncomfortable. If they could spread out or hang back in backhouse it wouldn't feel weird. Other than that would definitely go back & highly recommend but find seating further from bar area.”

“Kings birthday weekend trip here. Lots of people, very busy. But lots of trains running, mix of electric/diesel locomotives and steam locomotives also. Great time for adults and kids alike”

“Hamlin Park is really a sports field and the hall is used for Sunday worship. I live only 5 mins.away and find it is a great place to take my Lassa Appso dog for a 20 minutes run. Lots of smells and almost totally fenced.Surrounded by trees and back gardens . Excellent parking. No public toilets or playground but if you want to sit on a grassy slope in a quiet place for a little while this is for you.”

“Pretty decent community sport venue”
