“This is a hidden gem. Needed flowers for my mums birthday and am so glad this shop came up. Absolutely beautiful flowers and staff! Such a lovely shop with so many different boquets to choose from. Will definitely be my go to for flowers from now on”

“Have sent three different arrangements of flowers from Briar Rose in the last 2 months. They have all been really nice and have lasted well.”

“Finally a dessert shop in Te Atatu. I love the croffle, super buttery and pair perfectly with the tangy mango. The bingsu was really good too! Can't wait to try different flavor!”

“I have bought a few pieces from your lovely store now and each time I am blown away by the service and quality, both of these things have become a rarity in NZ. We own a large NZ business with lots of staff and a large senior management team so I think it’s very important to write a little note when things go right. As you know staff can make or break a business and I can certainly say that your team have made your business. Nicola with her experience and customer service is second to none, I was a little nervous ordering an engagement ring without knowing what the out come will be as I have been disappointed so many times before. Nicola paid attention to everything I said and created my dream ring that was in my mind all along. She managed my expectations extremely well and went the extra mile with having it ready within 4 weeks. The workmanship! Seriously! Ishhh you can be so proud ! I’m so fussy My ring is flawless and how they got that halo so close to the edge of the diamond making it really stand out is just amazing. Perfect amount of gold and band width. Just absolutely outstanding! What a wonderful team you have I look forward to creating my wedding band with Nicola shortly to create the perfect match.”

“Such a surprise to be a recipient of a hand delivered gorgeous bouquet of flowers delivered to my door in rural Wellsford on my birthday. From my brother and sister-in-law in Tauranga.”

“Beautiful fresh flowers and bouquets that have been thoughtfully and artistically arranged by Mckenzies Flowers. Avaliable at waimauku freshchoice.”

“Believe me, you are not just "ordering flowers". In our situation we required something that fitted a theme for our event, requiring a certain colour and that's where my creativity stopped. I didn't have any ideas or figure out what to describe. Susan produced the wow factor, not just with colour but gave us an artistic and creative display. Susan knows design and flair. And modern! The display was all class and had a cutting edge look, way more than the normal traditional type bouquets/designs. What's more is I called from Australia and it was right on closing time yet Susan was happy to chat about our requirements without time pressure (after getting nowhere elsewhere).”

“Great cookies, passionate team. If you are looking for a unique spot to try in West Auckland or want to support your local can't go wrong.”

“A charming guesthouse on the outskirts of Auckland, quiet and relatively close to the city itself, half an hour by car and conveniently located near the Swanson train station which leads to the city center if necessary. With all the necessary conditions for backpackers A fully equipped and functional kitchen, laundry services, car rental. A great place for a soft landing in New Zealand”

“Liberty Burgers & Taproom – A West Auckland Gem Tucked away in the far west, Liberty Burgers & Taproom is well worth the trip. The burgers are nothing short of brilliant – juicy, flavourful, and perfectly cooked. Their beers are exceptional, showcasing the brewery’s passion for quality and craft. The service is friendly and down-to-earth, and the locals make you feel right at home. A fantastic spot to relax, enjoy great food, and sample some of the best beers around. Definitely a place worth visiting.”

“Hands down our favourite local takeaways. The quality of food is brilliant (burgers are my favourite) and the staff are lovely. They are really busy on Fridays at peak times (because it’s so good) but staff are always super friendly and helpful. We make sure to order around 5pm on a Friday for shorter wait times. We’d prefer to enjoy dinner from an owner-operator place like PL rather than a chain restaurant any day!”

“Been going here for about five years. The best suishi around bar non, their tuna & avocado roll, & salmon avocado rolls are the absolute best there is no comparison. They make incredible Udon too, when they're closed I'm always so disappointed with other sushi places. Try them, you wont regret it, seriously!”

“Loving Bay sushi, best Sushi in Browns bay , always fresh, super friendy service and lots of selection.”

“Have been coming here nearly everyday for a long time, Sushi is Always Fresh & Yum, Good service too, they also give you plenty of Wasabi/Soy sauce & Ginger without charging extra. Thank you Team! ❤️”

“The salmon sushi was so fresh tasting. It was nicer than some expensive sashimi I've had at some other places. I ate it all so quickly and went back for more pieces... Very affordable, tasty and extremely friendly staff. Thank you!”

“Amazing menu all round, vegetarian options are all delicious, tasty tofu, awesome kakiage, spring rolls, dumplings & nigiri very satisfying”

“One of the best authentic Napolitan pizza/calzzone you can have in Auckland. We ordered the Diego Armando pizza and a Napolitano Calzzone. AMAZING. 10/10”

“It is a little restaurant, with a home atmosphere. The menu offers different options of main. The dishes are very well prepared, and they have a construction of flavors. The staff are very attention and worried to keep the client satisfied.”

“The Beer Spot is for everyone that likes beer and wine, exceptional craft beers, usually local and of course magnificent NZ wines. So much choice on tap and you are welcome to taste everything before settling on a favorite. Very well setup, plenty to do or just listen to music, some days it's live. Food is by food truck with amazing variety. Highly recommended and well worth a visit.”

“Wanted to try Tob Coffee as heard there's always a queue. It's a busy place with a great vibe. Service is quick and efficient, and staff is very friendly. Purchased beans, Vietnamese latte and Mocha. Enjoyed the experience and great coffee. Will visit again.”
