Pets in Auckland

“was served quickly, although there was a few pushy customers when it came to queuing up but cashier was kind. stock was plentiful and good deals going at the time. aisles are wide which is very convenient for shoppers passing by. overall a nice experience for first time visit”

“Great view to the sea from the balcony and well priced. Was hoping for more privacy at the private spa pool but it came with bubbles so all good”

“I felt a lot of racial bias during my check-in experience. We arrived early around 1pm (check-in was at 3pm), and I completely understand that early check-ins aren’t always possible. As a Platinum member, I had hoped for some flexibility but was told the rooms weren’t ready — fair enough. We went for lunch and returned around 2pm, and the rooms still weren’t ready. However, in the 30 minutes we waited in the lobby, I saw 5–8 other guests being checked in with no issue. When I asked the same front desk lady again if our rooms were ready, she simply said, “No, they’re not ready.” When I politely insisted that she check with the housekeeping team to see if at least one of our rooms was ready so we could freshen up, relax, and plan our afternoon, she finally checked and said, “Oh, one room is ready.” That experience was quite frustrating, especially because moments earlier she had made no effort to verify. What made it more upsetting was seeing a white couple walk in and book a room on the spot — the exact same category as one of mine (around NZD $370 per night) — and they were checked in immediately. I was told other guests had “different room categories,” but clearly that wasn’t the case. If that’s not discriminatory treatment, I don’t know what is. I paid for two rooms, valet parking, dinner, and plenty of drinks — the same or more than many other guests — yet was made to feel less valued. That said, I do want to acknowledge that the rest of the staff were absolutely wonderful. The valet parking lady was so friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant and bar teams were exceptional — genuinely warm, attentive, and kind. It’s just unfortunate that the check-in experience left such a negative impression, overshadowing what could have been an otherwise beautiful stay.”

“Love this hotel. Located in the center of the city. Lovely clean room and a great breakfast. The staff are so helpful and always have a great smile. The valet car parking is great and you only have to wait for 5 minutes before it arrives at the front of the hotel. We will definitely be coming back next time we are in Auckland. Highly recommended to all.”

“15/09/25. Booked a four day stay and wasn’t happy with my initial room so I approached the team who gave me a much better room on a higher floor with a great view of the sky tower. Hotel is in a great CBD location, easy walking to the hospital where I was visiting relatives. Car parking though limited is easily accessible provided you don’t have a car that’s larger than a sedan. On site restaurant was okay. First time I’ve had room service served by a bot, so I couldn’t figure out how to open it to get my food. When I did manage to get it opened, the plates were placed on top of each other rather than on a tray - little bit disappointed. On top of that the advertised meal on the room service app via the TV was not what I was given. So I had to ring the restaurant again to get the remainder of my meal brought up. Breakfast was buffet style - okay choices and did not change on a day-to-day basis. The lady there every morning, who did the coffees was absolutely awesome - big thumbs up to her!! Room was lovely. Aircon was nice and strong and I thought the room size was okay given I am a large woman (size 18) and I managed to move around the room fairly easily. Bed was really comfortable. Would I recommend - overall yes I would!”

“It was such an awesome place to stay with plenty of room! Facilities are great, and so is the central location. Sky tower about 20 mtrs from here. Check in and check out were hassel free! Would definitely stay here again.”

“My preferred stay whenever I’m visiting Auckland. The rooms are always tidy, smells good, the beds and pillows are so comfy! In my experience, the staff are lovely, prompt and helpful. Great, convenient location to shops and the viaduct but still nice and quiet, love staying here and will always recommend this to family as they have also had positive experiences at the Travel Lodge. I believe the Travel Lodge upholds an excellent standard in terms of hospitality, service and quality. Compared to some of the other places we have visited and stayed at whilst in New Zealand, the travel lodge remains a favourite! Thank you again for a wonderful stay. My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed our time.”

“Very good and warm hostel! I went there 3 times at different times during my road trip and everyone was always welcoming and everything was clean. The lady at the entrance was very kind and warm. Good location and good to have a computer access.”

“I don't have any bad thing to say about this hotel. Everything was perfect. 24-hour reception, close to the airport, free shuttle bus to the airport. The room was clean and well equipped - hairdryer, soaps and shampoos smelled great, big TV, balcony. I would also like to thank the lady at the reception. I overslept on the day of departure. My boyfriend called at the reception, she woke me up personally and the most amazing thing was that when I checked out the bus arrived at the airport and she ran after me with a bus ticket. I really felt that the staff cared about the guests. I can only recommend it.”

“Good location. From the airport, it is a 10 mins drive by car, or one can take either the Yellow Bus (Airport Hotels bus) or the Auckland local transport bus #38 to reach the hotel. Smooth check-in, good breakfast & cooperative staff as well.”

“​My recent stay at the Sudima Auckland Airport was genuinely outstanding, turning what is often a routine airport stopover into a truly memorable experience. From the moment I checked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and efficient, and the hotel itself feels modern, welcoming, and perfectly designed for comfort. The room was spacious, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and it was the ideal calm environment for relaxing before or after a long flight. ​However, the real highlight of my visit—and the source of the most fun—was the fantastic robot delivery service! Ordering food right to my room and waiting to hear that distinctive little chime was a blast. When the door opened and the robot, completely autonomously, was waiting there with my meal, I couldn't stop smiling. It’s such a clever and novel way to receive room service, and it adds a playful, futuristic energy to the entire hotel experience. It was speedy, contact-free, and honestly just delightful to watch. ​If you’re looking for a top-tier airport hotel with excellent amenities, comfortable rooms, great food, and a unique, fun feature that will absolutely make your day, I can't recommend the Sudima Auckland Airport enough. I’ll definitely be staying here again!”

“Value for money, big room separated with kitchen area and bathroom. Comfy bed, lot of tea and coffee, fresh milk in the fridge and lot of parking available. I truly enjoy my 2 nights stay with Parnell.”

“We had two lots of family visiting from overseas for our wedding stay here in the last couple of weeks. On both occassions they had an excellent stay! The views from the first floor are lovely and the motel is right on the beach. Easy walking access to convenience stores, the marina and ferry. Would defintely recommend”

“Best bar in takapuna by a really long shot , I wouldn’t go anywhere else it is takapunas saviour for nightlife. Good manager good staff really affordable as well highly recommend!”

“Every time I visit this pharmacy I am reminded how great they are and how much value they provide. I have only ever had great service as well as awesome advice from all who work there. My feeling is that they do have their customer's best interests at heart and they always are friendly and efficient. I also find their prices competitive and reasonable.”

“Clean environment !! Lovely younger staff, made me feel welcome”

“Very friendly staff and efficient service. Free prescription. They open Monday to Saturday 9am to 5pm. Opening on Saturdays is convenient for people with normal working hours. Alex and the lady at the counter are so kind and caring, they always find the right sized containers for you to carry the medicines if there are too much. Highly recommended and definitely 5-star service.”

“Susan is Fantastic, Wabbit Frosty was so relaxed while being groomed. He just layed back in her arms and was very content. Susan was has a wealth of knowledge a ton of experience and genuinely cares about animal welfare.”

“They cool shopkeepers. Awesome service, Tidy, kind, well stocked... Keep it going Waimahia. Going to miss living around this area”

“Good local bar. Gang free, karaoke, pokies CHEAPEST BEER IN TOWN. The manager Charlie and owner is a cool guy!!”

“Great Cattery! Could not have wished for better service. Clean and tidy cattery with excellent care for our Charlie. Great communication and regular updates on his care. Joan was just the best - really had Charlie’s care at heart. Thanks for the great care and service.”

“Very friendly and helpful shop person, ordered in an extra scat mat for us and it was there ready for us to pick up the next day. Top pet store!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Experience at Area 51 - Auckland Adventure Park Our recent visit to Area 51 at Auckland Adventure Park was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Check-in was seamless, and the staff efficiently sorted out our wristbands. We appreciated that each type of pass was color-coded, making it easy to differentiate between different activities—such a thoughtful and organized system! The food at the reception was surprisingly good and well-priced. There was a great selection for both adults and kids. We especially loved the kids’ meal options, which came with drinks—perfect for families looking to grab a quick bite before heading off for more adventure. It wasn’t just about convenience; the food was delicious too! From the reception, you can either head down to the lower part of the park, where there’s a fun kids’ playground, or make your way up to the bus stop for the ride up the hill. The Mitsubishi Rosa bus ride was comfortable, offering a scenic route to the upper part of the park. Up there, the real adventure begins—luge rides, the exhilarating zip line, and the thrilling Shooting Star! One thing that stood out to us was the atmosphere. Right outside the reception, there’s a luge car on display along with a price list for each of the activities, which really adds to the excitement and anticipation. Plus, there’s a huge screen showcasing all the activities the park offers. It’s a clever way to get everyone hyped up and makes it easy to plan your day. The park is well-organized, clean, and full of fun activities for everyone. Whether you’re with family or friends, there’s something for every age group. We’ll definitely be returning, and we highly recommend Area 51 at Auckland Adventure Park to anyone looking for a thrilling adventure!”

“1. Rose Garden Apartments has an excellent location and landscape. If you are unable to drive, I highly recommend living here! Walkable distance to Westfield Albany, supermarkets, banks, swimming pool, and gym. Public transportation is also available within the distance, with 5 different bus lines running frequent services throughout the day. 2. Not to mention the building quality of this apartment. Even though it’s only a 6 story apartment, the foundation quality is surely at its best. The durability will beat any other apartments nearby. 3. Rose Garden Apartments was most criticized in the past for its poor management. However, in 2022, the community committee replaced the body corporate manager and the building manager with the best in town. Rose Garden is now in good hands with Crockers - NZ's largest body corporate management company. Building management is taken cared for by Cadogan Facilities Management. Cadogan is an expert in Building Facilities Management, with highest qualifications and won numerous prizes with what they do. 4.Rose Garden has an amazing community that supports each other like families do. The Facebook page, WeChat group, KakaoTalk group and neighbourhood support page are available just a phone away. Whether it is you have lost or found something, you have accidentally injured yourself while home alone, or you are just a screwdriver away from finishing your home project, you will sure be able to find some help and support there.”

“Friendly, helpful and the chemist's knowledge is very good.”

“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.”

“Chemist warehouse Milford is a fantastic resource, huge range of products and unlike any pharmacy I’ve ever been to. The most important aspect for me is the amazing pharmacist. Taymoor is super professional, friendly, helpful and really goes out of his way to make sure you feel informed and safe. I wouldn’t go anywhere else now!”
