Public pools & Water park in Auckland

“Could not recommend a gym more! They have the most amazing coaches who are all so inclusive and welcoming. With a diverse range of class options for changing up your routine, from high intensity to strength or pilates - makes training more engaging and enjoyable! The overall atmosphere at Habitat is great - you'll always feel safe and included and you'll leave the gym with the best post workout endorphins!!”

“We just moved into this property this year and needed some new outdoor furniture to complement the large outdoor living space. Our son has used Ocean Weave products for some years and strongly recommended them so we acted on that and acquired four chairs. We're completely satisfied with the purchase, seem to use them daily and are waiting for some summer weather to get more hours entertaining friends and family. Although we have only had the furniture for a few months I would happily recommend the product to anyone.”

“Supper happy with my new sauna heats up quickly doesn’t cost much to run very relaxing use twice a week atm as it’s summer highly recommend if your into saunas and easy to put together thanks to Alima Ahmadi and Amber at Alpine spas for sorting everything out so quickly and easily :))”

“After reading worrying reviews of the kitset sheds sold by the usual hardware chains, which mentioned flimsiness and terrible instructions, we decided to pay the little extra to have a shed installed by Gary's Sheds. We are happy we did. Absolutely no-hassle complete construction including foundations and floor, done quickly and on time. We also loved that we could choose our colours.”

“Very fun and versatile playground in large size. Flying fox, huge rope swing, mini trampoline, gym equips, rope climbing, sand pitch, kids water pumps and lake view etc. Always spend lots time after Costco visits - only thing is quite windy mostly”

“Debbie and the Team are great. Nice small classes means 1 on 1 time with the teachers and Everyone is super friendly.”

“Cornwall Park looks absolutely stunning during cherry blossom season! The trees are full of delicate pink blooms, and it’s such a peaceful, scenic place to walk around or take photos. However, it can get very crowded on weekends with lots of people doing photoshoots. I’d suggest visiting on a weekday or early morning if you want a quieter experience and better photos. Definitely worth the visit!”

“Fantastic experience for locals and tourists alike. The pricing is very fair considering what’s involved. You’re given a fair choice of courses to partake in to suit all ages. The courses are various, which keeps it interesting no matter your skill level or confidence with heights. At heights varying from 1 to 10 metres, you’ll have to go through tunnels, across beams, weave in between posts or even just walk the tightrope with nothing but a cable to keep your balance. Highly recommend the day out.”

“my son has improved so much in the last term. the swim instructor he has is amazing. highly recommend this swim school”

“Piha Beach is a very popular beach for both tourists and local residents. My husband and I have been to Piha Beach for several times and we both love the views there. We enjoyed the great view there and the delicious real fruit ice cream at Cones On The Beach which is just opposite to Piha Mid Beach. We highly recommend you to go there at daytime, but only night time.”

“Visited this morning and spent 2-3 hours doing the loop (probably only takes 30 mins) but was took my time taking pictures and picking my jaw off the floor from the views. The loop does loop around to and from the car park. I saw a review suggesting women don’t go alone but I did and felt safe on the trail. The views are incredible and the loop itself isn’t hard, just some incline and decline. Had service the whole loop, it was clean and beautiful! Absolutely recommend.”

“The rocky area is beautiful and there are many natural birds here. Nearby is a long wide beach, strong wind. There are many parking areas around, can park camvan. From the parking lot to the view point is quite close and easy to walk. Pay attention: Dogs, other animals and pets are prohibited at all Auckland Council regional parks' bookable sites and accommodation. The exception is registered aid dogs. You will need to advise our staff at time of booking if you have a registered aid dog for an exemption.

“Muriwai Beach is a breathtaking natural wonder! The rugged black sand, and powerful waves make it a must-visit. Great for walks, photography, and just admiring the scenery. Remember to be careful near the water.”

“Great hidden beach on a gravel road but still not too far form auckland CBD.we were lucky enough to see this beautiful place on our last day in NZ and it did not disappoint. Decent fishing from the multiple rock locations with a handful of streams that the kids can play in (water is hot if the weather is). Definitely worth checking out”

“Piha Beach in New Zealand boasts awe-inspiring views, Phia Beach in New Zealand offers breathtaking views from the mountain top—an unforgettable experience that I highly recommend—an absolute gem.”

“Lovely beach area. Nice beach to walk on.”

“This track was mean but lots of stairs awesome views once at the top”

“Ideal for dogs and owners on a nice warm day. Small walk till you get to the stream and beach area. Very safe and open space for dogs to play. Probably the best dog area in Auckland!”

“Maukatia Bay is a hidden gem on the Whangaparāoa Peninsula. The views across the water to Auckland are absolutely stunning—perfect for photos, especially at sunrise or sunset. It's a peaceful spot, ideal for a relaxing day out. We were hoping to spot some birds, but it seems we were there during the off-season, so no luck this time. Still, the scenery made up for it! The only downside was the wind—it was quite breezy when we visited, so make sure to bring a jacket if you're planning to stay for a while. Overall, Matakatia Bay is a beautiful and tranquil spot that's well worth a visit.”

“Highly recommend! We purchased our Ecosmart 1200 burner insert in 2022 for our renovated villa, and continue to purchase fuel from Design Concepts. Richard & the staff at Design Concepts are so helpful & friendly, & know their products welI. When the council initially insisted the minimum clearance for the suspended section above needed to be 1200mm above the fire (which would have looked ridiculous, nevermind we wouldnt have been able to install the TV above), Richard responded promptly to our enquiries, answered all our questions & we were able to assure the council the lower height would not be a fire risk (we used fibre cement board on the underside of the suspended (faux) chimney), so we could get the open fire we dreamed of. The fire gives off plenty of heat to warm our large open plan kitchen/living room (floor space approx 49m², with 3.4m high stud). After a few hours, we can open the doors to the hallway to warm up other parts of the house. (Note: we got a fabricator to make the firebox it sits in; inspired by one of the Naked Flame freestanding fires we originally had our eye on, but had sold out by the time we were ready to purchase it).”

“Pleasant to deal with, arrived when he said he would, called me from site with his findings and what action was being taken, called on completion and followed up the next day. Good old-fashioned service that is rarely seen today and this guy was brilliant and cares about his customers. Huge thumbs up”

“Really sweet, friendly and fun staff who took care of us from start to finish. Had an amazing time and love the photos and shirts we got! Will definitely recommend.”

“We just started with Aqua Artist, the teacher is so kind and helpful. At first, my girl was nervous. Just after learning three days, I received the update from staff that my girl can move up to the next level!! I am so happy. I hope my kid will enjoy her swimming classes with Aqua Artist in the future~”

“Great playground for the kids at a wonderful beach park. Plenty of grounds for picnics or gatherings. Clean bathrooms and changing rooms. The beach is excellent for walking or swimming.”

“Awesome place to be and really nice walking track with great views”

“My family of three, which includes a 9 year old, loved this event on vacation!! Two hours was plenty to learn time be safe and try the rapids several times. Options were available for swim levels to drift downstream. Our guide, George, was amazing and persistent with the three children in our raft without being harsh. Video is purchased separately for your experiences. The changing area is large and clean.”

“Very helpful staff. Great products. Outstanding customer service. After an online order was lost by the courier company, Bianca and the sales team followed up promptly and organized a new shipment after receiving confirmation from the courier. Highly recommend Barton McGill.”

“One of the coasts great beaches”

“This is a family friendly farm. We used to take kids here for the family day. It’s also the start for Watercare coastal walkway. There is a barn here plus two car parks, a shelter, toilets, BBQ spots and camping grounds. There are farm animals such as sheep, lamb and horses.”

“Amazing tutors and staff, always accommodating when needed, great system for make up classes etc and so friendly. We’ve been coming for just over a year and seen wonderful progress.”
