Public pools & Water park in Auckland

“Noisy traffic but futuristic design makes up for it.”

“Nice for a short walk if you live nearby.”

“Nice and big park for kids. It has big and small slides, swing, and a nice place to ride a bike or scooter here. No public toilet.”

“Great park for kids not sure what one of the obstacles was lol”

“Home to some of the best greens in Auckland and also holds a very special place in my heart. The Akarana members are a great bunch and always make you feel welcome, really enjoy playing here a couple of times a year. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales”

“Love love love this little gem of a place on herald island, there is only one way in and one way out so it's not possible to get lost, enjoyed the walk and our dog just loves it there there's playground access for the kids as well as free bbq area so is a lovely place for a afternoon picnic”

“Excellent return walking trip on labour day from henderson with a picnic in between. Fave spot: see photo. Really enjoyed reading cute signs along the walk. Noticed the changes & loved seeing the loner black chicken doing his thing.”

“Many parents bring their children to play here. Great outdoor place for children.”

“Good place to have a picnic and also good breeze in the summer time”

“Had an unpleasant experience at another bar with my group of mates, so we migrated here. What a difference! Pool tables, rugby on, great food to fill up on and the service was excellent! Alyssa was so friendly and helpful, thanks for rescuing our night!”

“In my opinion this is by far the best store, super clean well presented and plenty of choice. I travel from New Lynn to visit this store, the dri e is quick and relaxed. Thanks team”

“What a fantastic place, stayed from the 6th to the 9th April, I chose here as it is very close to the Southern cross hospital where I had my operation. My room was really nice close to the main entrance which was a big bonus, the staff were really nice and helpful. Plenty of food places around even though I didn’t use them. Hoyt’s cinema close by as well. But as I mentioned earlier it was the helpful staff that impressed me the most. I highly recommend this motel and would definitely stay again.”

“My go to accommodation when I head up to Orewa. Always clean beautiful rooms.”

“Excellent Service from Maddie. She quickly sorted out a problem I had with a Zodiac Pool cleaner and helped upgrade my cleaner to a Swimclean. Would happily deal with her again. She should be given a pay rise.”

“Good flat area. Smooth concrete path all around outside of park. Great for walking etc. Also a small playground for kids.”

“It's just in front of my house, good for jog , picnic, for boating also. When I tried to access the toilet in the morning its locked tho. Good playground for kids also.”

“This is a lovely Hilton, with all the usual facilities. Its ideally located, within easy walking distance of the town, yet in a nice quiet location with fantastic views over the bay. The facilities are good, with gym and lap pool in the summer. There is also onsite parking. The restaurant is nice and has a very good breakfast. The rooms are also nice, clean and up to the usual Hilton standard. It’s a convenient, quiet hotel, with fantastic views, if you get one of the rooms with a balcony. I would certainly recommend staying here.”

“Growing up, I always heard mixed things about walking through Myers Park — but after the recent updates, it feels completely different. It’s brighter, cleaner, and feels much safer now. Great to see the space being revitalized — it’s actually a really nice spot to stroll through again.”

“Great fields both winter and summer. Well kept. Always clean and tidy.”

“One of the lesser known beaches in the area . Located next to the Curran Street on ramp most people will just drive past and not notice it . It will become a better beach after Watercare finishes the storm water discharge outlets which currently discharge near the beach . Its a funny little stop with fantastic views of the Harbour Bridge and the Chelsea Sugar refinery . Next time you should park your car in Sarsfield Street and walk down the walkway and take the time to enjoy this slice of heaven.”

“I met a friend of mine for lunch. First time visiting this pub. Loved it. Fantastic customer service. Relaxing, environment with well thought out decor. Bathrooms worth a mention, very clean and lots of stalls. Loved the food!!! We shared a pizza, mac n cheese bites and truffle fries. I'll be back!!”

“Great experience at Bunnings Warehouse. Staff were friendly and helpful, and I easily found what I needed for my project. Good range of brackets and screws, and prices were reasonable. Always a reliable place for DIY supplies.”

“Just want to make mention of a wonderful employee you have at Bunnings Silverdale, Ray! She was professional, caring and valuing of her customers, putting them first. I returned a Ryobi lawn mower as I got the wrong one, she made the process smooth and easy - I walked away with the correct one. Thank you Ray!”

“Amazing flowers last week at Mitre10 Albany. They always have a great variety for such great prices. Love it”

“Had our first birthday party there, and kids had an absolute blast! Lovely attentive staff, who had a lot of patience answering my endless questions. Lovely area for parents to wait while the kids are running around occupied for hours. Literally had to drag them away after 4 hours. Will definitely be back! Thank you, LiveWire Highbury Team!”

“We celebrated our son’s third birthday here yesterday and it was the perfect venue for it. Helpful and attentive staff, wonderful food, and an open and inviting atmosphere for the children to play. A very family friendly place. Thank you Whoa! Studios ✨”

“Sue is an amazing swim teacher who makes learning fun and easy. She is patient, kind, and encouraging, always cheering her students on and helping them improve at their own pace. Her friendly personality makes everyone feel comfortable in the water, and she has a talent for explaining things clearly so even difficult techniques become simple to understand. Sue is also very supportive and motivating, always noticing progress, no matter how small, and inspiring confidence in her students. She creates a positive and safe environment, making swimming lessons enjoyable and exciting every time. Overall, Sue is not just a teacher but also a role model, showing dedication, passion, and care in everything she does.”

“Top line: Very good gym, great facilities. Limited space. Friendly staff, especially the manager(s) Pros: it’s quiet with sauna, pool, onsen, steam room, tennis courts, football, basketball, towels, shampoo, conditioner, iron, moisturiser, hair gel, etc Cons: found it challenging to get the initial viewing. Limited and older equipment, but it does the job! Not sure how often the sauna etc gets a deep clean. Given all the other facilities, surprised it doesn’t have a hair brush in the changing rooms, and either 1. A machine to fast dry swim wear or 2. Plastic bags to take wet swim wear home”

“Been going to this gym for 3 years. Well maintained facilities and friendly and helpful staff. There’s a stadium upstairs with 6 hoops that is free to access for members. Wide range of fitness classes to choose from as well. PT service is also available. Lastly, it’s rare to find a gym that opens as early as 5:30am in Auckland, perfect for 8 to 5 workers like me.”
