“100% would recommend and 100% will return when I need to buy flowers. Had a wonderful experience, purchasing my first bouquet from The Flower Place. I gave Li my brief and my budget and they were able to come up with a lovely bunch of flowers!”

“Fantastic customer service and their products are amazing! I've tested multiple brands of cloth nappies & these are by far the best for our family. The double gusset helps contain leaks & they have many more great products like cloth pads, mini wet bags & double gusset large ones they're got many uses too. I couldn't recommend a company more.”

“Such a nice owner, and the coffee was absolutely delicious, thanks so much!”

“Kiddywinkles has been the best decision we made when my little one was 10months old and just graduated from there at age 5 this year. Highly recommend this daycare if you're around westgate with lovely teachers, generous space for your little ones to explore, engaging activities each day. Thank you Kiddywinkles for being Kyra's best years ♥️”

“A great place to go for a nice new dress or some cute jewellery. The attentive owner gave great advice and helped me find the perfect dress at a very reasonable price. I'll be back for sure.”

“A Hidden Gem in the Heart of the City I stumbled upon this flower shop by accident while wandering through Queens Arcade in Auckland CBD — a place I don’t usually visit — but I’m so glad I did. From the moment I walked in, the experience was nothing short of delightful. The owner, Boedi, is an absolute character — warm, funny, and full of personality. He clearly takes great pride in his work. The floral arrangement I purchased was not only beautifully crafted but also came with a charming little ladybug, which Boedi explained is his signature touch. It was such a thoughtful and whimsical detail that made the whole bouquet feel extra special. Boedi shared that he learned his craft while living in Osaka, Japan, and his expertise and attention to detail really shine through. The presentation of the flowers was immaculate, and his passion for floristry was contagious. This shop is a true hidden gem, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for flowers that are made with care and a whole lot of heart.”

“Love Art Fleur flowers. Picked up mine today from Hobsonville Point Catalina Bay Farmers Market. Agnes is lovely and really helpful. She has flowers for every occasion but I just enjoy them at home.”

“Phenomenal service and the most stunning floral bouquet I’ve ever seen! 10/10”

“I ordered a bouquet from Kkot Studios for my daughter's graduation, and it was absolutely beautiful. The colours and arrangement were lovely, and the ordering and delivery process was seamless. I would highly recommend this flower shop!”

“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!”

“I recently tried chicken teriyaki and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The shop itself was super clean and the owner was really friendly. They've also got a great menu with udon noodles, bento boxes, curry and awesome sushi packs. Looking forward to explore more of their food and highly recommend this place for anyone looking to have good affordable Japanese dishes.”

“Great retail experience! The team provided me with inputs on options for my Single Malt Scotch Whiskey Drink. They even have a complementary bottle fornyou to try. They know what they are selling! Unlike the other Liquor stores around the neighborhood. Highly recommended store.”

“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.”

“I did my very first skydive from 18,000 ft with amazing team of #skydiveauckland and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I arrived, their positive energy helped calm all my nerves. A huge thank you to my instructor #Ballzy, who handled my fear with so much calm, confidence, and kindness. He guided me through every moment so beautifully that I felt safe from start to finish. Thank you to #Jacob, my cameraman, for capturing everything with enthusiasm and keeping me smiling; to #Pierce, our pilot, for the smoothest ride up; to #Moniqua and #Glenn on the ground for their support and warm energy. The team’s professionalism, patience, and positivity turned something I was terrified of into one of the best experiences of my life. I truly felt cared for, respected, and supported every step of the way. Highly recommended #SkydiveAuckland Skydive Auckland”

“We enlisted the help of Jewellers Workshop to help us with custom made wedding bands. I wanted a Wedding band that would look like it was supposed to be a set with my engagement ring. My engagement ring was from Partridge Jeweller but it wasn't part of a set. We also wanted to somehow tie in Ivan’s ring with mine but we weren’t exactly sure how. We still wanted Ivan’s ring to be unique but also durable due to his work. We are currently based in Germany so most of our communication is limited to video calls and emails. We contacted pretty much every jeweller in Auckland to see if they were able to help us. A few wouldn’t help us at all as they wouldn’t custom make jewellery for anyone overseas which was disappointing, but Jewellers Workshop did not disappoint. Caitlin from Jewellers Workshop came back with a few AMAZING sketches for my Wedding band that we were absolutely blown away with! They were the only ones that actually did sketches for us pretty much straight away. We LOVED all of her concepts. She really understood what we wanted in terms of wanting something that would look like it was always supposed to be a set with my engagement ring but still allowing my engagement ring to shine. She was also great with looking at some unique ideas for Ivan’s Wedding band. We came back to Auckland for a visit about 5 months before our wedding and we went to visit all of the Jewellers in Auckland that said that they were able to help us. When we went to Jewellers Workshop Caitlin was there to meet us. She was just amazing to work with. She gave us a timeline of how long she would think she would need my engagement ring to match up the engraving with the wedding band, she gave us price estimations for each of her concepts and she was also open to different ideas for the different stones and materials we would want for my Wedding band. When we were there we also had a look around at the different rings that might be suitable for Ivan’s wedding band and there it was … They had rings in display that were made of two different metals but could be customised so that specific patterns could be put on there! It was perfect! Ivan loved the idea that we could put the outline of my Wedding band onto his ring and this would be highlighted by using the two different metals. We then decided on the idea to have matching engravings around the outside of the rings to ensure that people would be able to tell that our rings were “matching” even though we have two distinctively different ring designs. Caitlin was also super responsive in her email communication. She sent us back CAD ideas for both mine and Ivan’s rings, she looked tirelessly for the stones we wanted (pink pear diamond, white pear diamonds and pink brilliant diamonds). She was just amazing! She was the only person to find a pink pear diamond! I was amazed that they were able to make the wedding rings in 3 weeks!!! I was so overjoyed! They did an absolutely amazing job from design to delivery they were so fantastic to work with. After our amazing experience with Caitlin I wanted to do something special for Ivan so I enlisted Caitlin to help me make some custom engraved cufflinks for our wedding. Again she was such an honest dream to work with. Of course the team at Jewellers Workshop were able to do it in time and they looked amazing! Ivan and I could not be happier that we got Jewellers Workshop to make our rings, from our first email they have been nothing but the best! For anyone reading this and looking for a Jeweller to make a bespoke piece. Do not look any further! The creativity that Caitlin presents in all of her designs and the finish that the team are able to accomplish is second to none! Ivan and I went to dozens of different jewellers both in NZ and in Germany and they all come back with the same boring design (especially for males). Not Jewellers Workshop. They sold us with Caitlin's AMAZING drawing and ideas. Nothing is too difficult for them. Let their creativity help to shape your unique jewellery dreams.

“Amazing service! I love my new earrings! Communication was great throughout and my order arrived in under 48 hours. From a very happy customer.”

“Amazing service. Going above and beyond when we really needed it. It's always great working with companies that actually help to resolve problems. Really appreciated.”

“Lucas is phenomenal! I had a family heirloom which I wanted upgraded to be a more contemporary wedding ring. I showed him a photo of what I wanted. Three weeks later I had a beautifully hand crafted wedding ring. He’d shaped the garnet and added facets which made it more impressive. Thank you!!”

“Living overseas, and placed an order without knowing who I’m talking to or what I am going to get. I found Lolita from Bays Flowers and told her what we want for my daughter’s wedding. She sent me photos and ideas of what the flowers will look like. Her communication and customer service were flawless.. Well what a lovely surprise! They were better than I ever could have imagined! My daughter’s bridal bouquet was absolutely stunning and we couldn't be happier. Lolita is extremely helpful and trustworthy. Her flowers are affordable fresh and great quality flowers. Absolutely highly recommendable. Lolita is a great a pleasure to work with. Thank you Lolita once again for the beautiful bridal bouquet you made for my daughter for her wedding September 2025. Working with you was an absolute delight! We are so grateful for the time and energy you put into making this beautiful wedding bouquet for us. Correen from Australia Wedding: September 2025”

“Had the loveliest service when we popped in with a bunch of children today - one of the staff generously offering us all plenty of things to taste, and even opening a packet of chocolates for our kids to try. The prices on some items were so great, and we walked out with a delicious haul - the service and the pastries were excellent!”

“Best kept secret. We were looking around for a place to eat and came upon this place. Best Tom yum in town and their pork chop with rice was great too. Price is surprisingly cheap. Will surely come back when we’re in the area.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We are absolutely thrilled with Lollipop’s Albany Childcare Centre! From the moment my daughter started here, our family felt nothing but confidence and gratitude for the incredible team. The staff are warm, caring, and highly professional, always going above and beyond to make sure the children feel safe, supported, and happy. Their systems are well-organised, transparent, and family-friendly, which makes communication so easy. Every day we see how much effort goes into creating a nurturing environment filled with fun, learning, and growth.My daughter has blossomed in confidence, friendships, and skills since joining, and we couldn’t be happier. If you are looking for a trusted, high-quality childcare centre in Albany, North Shore, we cannot recommend Lollipop’s Albany enough. The staff treat every child like their own, and it truly feels like a second home for our little one. Thank you to the amazing team – you make such a positive difference in our family’s life!”

“Great flowers, excellent service, highly recommended!! Local shop in Red Beach!”

“We absolutely LOVED working with the team at Floralessence. They were so easy to work alongside and so happy to work flexibly to bring our vision to life! Our flowers were stunning and added something really special to the day. We could not recommend them enough to others!!”

“A beautiful bunch of flowers that I had delivered to our step daughter in Auckland [we are in Whangarei]. From the time I ordered online to when they were delivered was super quick! Thankyou!”

“I went there and order a posy with diffuser for my son's landlord.The lady owner was so nice and because this is my 1st time,she gave me a generous discount,and delivered it.I will definitely be back if I need flower.”
