Gifts in Auckland

“Hello. I came and have my hair done at Vivo, nearly every week at Smales Farm. My hairdresser is Jessica who has been my hairdresser for 7 years and I have now followed her to Vivo, as I would not have anyone else doing my hair. She not only is so professional, but she also listens, take notice, very friendly, is up to date with every need of her clients. Thank you, Jessica, for an amazing JOB as per normal. In all my years of having different hairdressers, I could never imagine having any other hairdresser other than Jessica from Vivo at Smells farm. Sometimes I'm not the easiest client but Jessica explains everything to me more than once until I realize that a fantastic hairdresser like Jessica knows best.”

“We had our end of season Hockey at Laserforce, and had 2 hours unlimited lasertag. It was amazing, the kids and adults all loved it. It's such a big space with an upstairs and downstairs. Everything is explained well and the staff are great. We were able to bring in outside foods and had Pizza Hut delivered from just around the road and brought in other drinks and foods. All and all I recommend this for a kids party or team building activity.”

“Turned up in opening hours, called the number for the door code, no answer, no one there, but lights were on. Super frustrating. Edit: Dean contacted me with a clear resolve on this which I really appreciated. Great resolution to a really frustrating situation. Edit: Ended up buying a great chair. Looking forward to it turning up. Thanks a lot!”

“I bought 2 cute little fish from here. Good deal. And I bought some treats for my cats. Heaps of selection of aquarium fish and pet foods. Heaps of stuff special. Customer service was very nice. The guy explained to me how to look after my fish's and fish tank. We will be back.”

“Favorite cafe in the area. Coffee is always good and cabinet food has never disappointed. Usually only 1 person working so expect to wait when busy, but it's worth it. Also the only place I know that has a half-caf on the menu (1 shot full caf, 1 shot decaf). Thanks for all the coffee and hugs from your giant bear!”

“I won't give a 5/5. Instead a 6 or even a 7 out of 5 for the food and service. Great food, especially those beer battered oysters- oh wow. And the great service, simply awesome.”

“Delicious freshly made pasta in a beautiful Gorgonzola and walnut sauce. A lovely glass of wine to go with it. The salad was less inspiring, but it is the middle of winter. Thoughtful, friendly staff made for a pleasant meal for one.”

“Nice Italian restaurant with GF Pasta and Pizza. Pasta portions are huge, I‘ve struggled eating up the main size and ordered this time an entree size, which was a full size portion too. Also nice Italian wines to go with your meal. I can recommend Sangovese. Definitely a nice place to dine in. Bookings might be helpful as this place is well visited”

“Came to Cookes for a nice girls night dinner and it was incredible, every mouthful was so flavourful, highly recommend the scallop entree! Rachara and Arber were absolutely wonderful!”

“Everything’s just awesome. Paella and the steak pizza are so delicious! Must-order edit: enjoyed the experience so much I went for a second time in less than a week”

“Good solid Timber outlet with all timber products”

“The best escape room we have experienced so far. The room is really well designed to fit the theme. Staff is friendly and helpful, answered our questions patiently. Can solve the puzzles either sequentially or not.”

“Super friendly team. Very knowledgeable about the products. Great range of products at very fair prices.”

“Thank you so much for the incredible flowers you put together for my Mums birthday recently. They were so fresh and you had a beautiful selection in the mix. You even popped in some lisianthus and hydrangeas which happen to be my Mums favourite (a very pleasant coinsidence). My Mum was so happy and she sent me photos. I felt like I got great value and your service was wonderful. I would happily use your services again. Keep up the good work :) Just adding to my already 5 start review as I am a very pleased repeat customer. More photos of another order for my grandparents. Thank you Flower Vault. Fresh and fabulous blooms at a very fair price.”

“10/10 highly recommend! So much value for money - I had the serene bouquet and cupcakes delivered to my friend and she was delighted with them! Communication was clear, ordering was quick and delivery was done on time. Will be back for sure. Thanks team!”

“I had a wonderful experience with Abby from Florienne. From our first meeting, she took the time to really listen to what I wanted for my wedding flowers. She understood my changing vision perfectly and helped bring it to life in the most beautiful way. The arrangements were stunning—elegant, fresh, and exactly what I had imagined. I felt like she genuinely cared about making my day special; the flowers were one of the highlights. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a florist.”

“Such a nice bouquet! You can choose flowers and get them to make a bouquet with $10 cost ( wrapping paper, ribbon and greenery included) Jodie was so nice and patient and made a beautiful bouquet! Thanks again and highly recommend”

“Highly recommend as a wedding or event florist. Fabulous large venue arrangements to bouquets and buttonholes off the website, but I loved being able to also order wholesale buckets of roses and foliage to make our own table arrangements with family and friends the day before. The roses were long-lasting even despite the summer heat and the range of foliage was impressive. Thanks for all your care and artistry, Angelique.”

“As a first time customer I was really impressed with the coffee & customer service I received from the ladies working there. I will surely return & support The Coffee Mill. Thanks for making my day. 10 STARS for the COFFEE & SERVICE! *Date 11/14/2021*”

“I don't really write reviews but Krista-lee did such an insanely amazing job with my hair yesterday I felt I had to leave her 5 stars! I am always quite nervous when going to a new hairdresser but she knew exactly what i was attempting to request (without even showing her a photo), she made some great recommendations based on my natural colour and skin tone, was extremely thorough and took her time with me and the results were beautiful! I often find people take more off the length than i would have liked but the cut was 100% perfect and the colour is so gorgeous. Super stoked to have found my new hairdresser in Auckland :)”

“We had a family Christmas lunch today at the Archer, the food was fantastic as was the service. Extensive menu has something for everyone, including the youngest member of our group (Mr Nearly Two). I happily recommend The Archer to anyone who is looking for a nice, quiet place for lunch during the week.”

“Awesome place to get your coffee on the run. We always make a quick stop when we close by.”

“What an awesome spot! Jose’s Cantinas brings back a lot of memories of living in SoCal, where we would go to Taco Tuesday spots religiously. Really cool setup/atmosphere, super friendly staff and a fantastic range of Mexican food options. The perfect spot for a jovial weeknight. Thanks Jose, love your work!
