Family entertainment in Auckland

“I have absolutely LOVED this gym. Everyone is friendly, the gear is great, it’s rarely crowded, and having the basketball court has been a great bonus.”

“My two kids started swimming at Swimsation Te Atatu Peninsula in April 2024. They had very limited skills when they started (way below their school age level). With the support of the great teachers they learnt so much in just a few months that now they are swimming beyond their school age level. The staff is kind and accomodating, we managed to catch up with our make up classes every time we had one missed class. Thank you! Keep up the good work, you guys are great!”

“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 :)”

“We take the kids here for Saturday basketball - the coaches are great and the kids have got a lot from these sessions. recommend!”

“The best sports bar in the area, awesome staff and atmosphere, friendly locals will not give you time to get bored. Good size TV's to watch sports and races, neat place.”

“Fantastic little gem in hellensville!! They made us a beautiful breakfast of bacon, eggs and fresh avocado with toasted bagels. The coffee was great too and the services was awesome, so friendly and accommodating.”

“Had a great experience with my children here. Staff were young but did great, lots of patience with my 4 boys and everyone else. Found staff Really helpful with kids asking 100s of questions and just being kids. Definitely be back”

“So this place is actually really nice. Very nice LED lights. Service is so great. Food is yummy. -Sayf 10 years old The food was good, the service was good but they have to add dumplings. 9/10. -Saleem 7 years old”

“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!”

“Profoundly upset & frustrated to learn that The Warehouse has been been strong-armed out of Milford Mall, despite the Group's offer of favourable financial terms & the overwhelming support of locals in the area. We are losing the ONLY outlet providing DIY, Gardening, Furniture, Crafts, Home/Kitchen Ware, Appliances, Tech, - to name a few. It's a lovely, peaceful place with delightful ambiance. The last thing we need is a gym!”

“Just moved here, and I got suggested this place. What a setup. Really love it. Very spacious, workers are awesome to talk to, and the local people that I spoke to are very social. Good vibes. Was told to try their pizza and hot dog, so I did. - Brownzy dog 7.9/10 2 for $5 is great value. They're not spectacular. However, they're perfect while watching live sports and are arranged quite well. Delicious to eat. - Meat lovers pizza 7.5/10 $10 isn't too bad too, good size to share. At this point, I was a bit drunk and vacuuming the whole thing to sober up, but it was good for a bar snack. Prefer the brownzy dogs over this.”

“I'm rather happy with the meal. *Butter chicken, it was the best I've had in Orewa so far. *Chilli Chicken was a standout for me the flavour was bang on. *Garlic Prawns were fantastic I just wished there was more..I'll definitely order those again. So overall my experience is a huge positive.”

“Received help from a lovely worker by the name of Jaimee and saying she changed my life would be an understatement! The clothing section looked fabulous for such a busy day and she was the only employee I saw even attempting to have it looking proper! She helped me at my worst after feeling like a whale in a sundress but she made me realise I am beautiful regardless, I went out for lunch later on in that same dress and have never felt more fabulous, truly life changing customer service xx Sue-Ann.”

“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 visited Crystal Mountain during the week ( school term ) it is a great place with lots to offer and very unusual and interesting things to see. It boasts A Crystal Museum and store, Huge indoor play area, two cafes, carousel rides and a roller coaster, interesting animals, large dinosaur statues and more... Lots of free parking on-site . Ideal for all ages and for kids birthday parties. You get to Interact with most animals and feed them (the animal food is sold at the main entrance Cafe) The indoor play area includes 3 rides ( Carousel, teacup and train), a jumping castle plus a Massive activity area and a separate play area for toddlers Outside activities includes a train ride, roller coaster and tractor ride. The two cafes have a variety of food on their menu and is child friendly, one cafe is situated at the main entrance and the other at the indoor play area. The staff are super super kind ,friendly , interactive and helpful. We noticed a few of the staff cover alot of responsibility of the park and even with all that responsibility they still made our visit so much more fun. A huge thanks to the amazing team namely the young lady that does the train ride and sees to the animals, the young gentleman that operates the indoor rides and oversees the indoor play area and the helpful lady at the cafe who took the time to explain all that we needed to know so that we made the most of our time there. The Crystal Museum store sell so many beautiful and unusual items. Cons: The Main cafe food is substandard but cheap, we didnt try the food at the play area Cafe. When we bought our tickets on Grab One we ensured we bought the full access tickets there was no mention that during the school term week the Rollercoaster and tractor rides do not operate, we only found this out at the cafe counter when we handed our tickets in. I will definitely be going back.”

“Would highly highly recommend this amazing place! The food here is just too good for people who love Mediterranean food! We go here for all milestone celebrations and happy moments! Always a feel good place for food! Staff are friendly and very accommodating as well! Be it time with family, friends or a date- suits any occasion literally! I would go here any day!”

“Definitely our favourite Indian restaurant. The service impeccable, the staff are just great friendly and helpful, they know their food, the food is outstanding and the atmosphere pleasant and warm. From start to finish the experience is spot on. Tonight we had the Gol Gapa, Gilafi Seekh Kebab, Lamb Madeas and the waiter surprised me with a traditional chicken curry that’s not on the menu, and holy moly! It was outstanding! I don’t know how these guys make the sauces that accompany some of the dishes but they are A-MAZING!!! The chilli the sweetness, everything is perfectly balanced. I can’t rave enough about the food here. If you want a great Indian experience with amazing service go and see these guys.”

“Went for the first time yesterday & loved it! The place has such a nice cosy atmosphere. The girls working at the front were also super lovely!! shoutout to Adele & Lexy :) such a gem of a place, will def be back :)”

“Good place to watch the rugby. Food is generally good but not amazing. Jalapeno poppers are great. Service is average, most of the time I had to call someone to serve us.”

“East to west North to south Aces bar is the best For one and all. Great place for fun and entertainment with staff's and management my choice. Definitely will be yours”

“Great little shop and the one charity shop in the area that actually prices everything fairly. Friendly staff. Wish the opening hours were a bit longer. Keep up the good work.”

“I'm very happy shopping this store. They are very nice and good price. I always come here to buy something. Thanks so much about everything!”

“Happy atmosphere excellent location”

“Had one of the best sales experience with the store manager Shawn. Absolute legend sorted us out for our new place. Rest of the team were great. Thanks team!!”

“Amazing food and crisp cold beers. Primo staff highly recommend a visit”

“My husband and I went to Bar Savannah on Wednesday night for their Steak and Chips special for only $18, and it was such great value! The steak was a good 200 grams — cooked nicely — and came with a generous serving of chips and a fresh salad. The food was really good, and the service was excellent. The staff were all friendly, and Raj looked after us the entire time. He was great! We also loved that they have pool tables, which we played on while waiting for our food. Overall, a great experience!”

“Such an amazing learn to swim program. Our two daughters are part of the learn to swim and have a wonderful time learning and growing in the water with there two teachers Laura and Kristina. Anya does an amazing job setting up the learn to swim program and leading it I couldn’t recommend enough. The Indoor Pool Facility runs at a perfect air conditioned temperature and the pools are clean and comfortable for everyone! As a Swim Coach myself the team here does an incredible job! Lifeguards included as well!”

“Great place to hang out with friends and family. this place is also a family licensed bar, great friendly staff. They also cater to every occasion, Have your next get together at The Hanger, watch live sports at the bar. they have lots of seating space both inside, outside and upstairs. They also have lots of parking available and off street parking.”

“No booking, seated 3 on entry. Your seated next to a train that carries entree sized servings of sushi, donburi, seafood, dim sims etc plus desserts, cream puffs, tiramisu, mouse etc. Continuous train. Simply grab the dishes you desire while seated and eat! Plates are color coded, these are how they tally up the total cost. Drinks list, soft drinks, red, white, beers, nothing extra. 3 people plus drinks ate till full, took home a fav each, $80.”

“My daughter is really happy here, and we’ve had such a great experience. The teachers are caring, creative, and passionate—you can tell they truly love what they do. The space is big and welcoming, with plenty of room for kids to play and explore. The facilities are great too. Definitely recommend!”
