Public pools in Auckland

“Great 10/15 min walk in the park to get to the playground.”

“Bomb Point Dog Park is one of limited number of fully-fenced dog parks in Auckland. The size is large enough and there is plenty of space to run. It is great that there's a rubbish bin and dog poo bags provided within the park. While there's work being done on providing a source of drinkable water, at this point in time I recommend you bring water for your pup when you visit.”

“Great helpful staff. Some garden bargains at end of year.”

“Love this gym . The instructors know what they are doing and are super keen to help if needed . The equipment range is slowly getting better too . It’s definitely an older persons gym , I would say majority are 40 plus . But all the members are respectful with the equipment, wipe everything down and put things away . There are lots of fantastic classes as well.”

“Herne Bay Beach is a lovely little beach in Auckland. On 14/10/2023, we went to Herne Bay Beach for a relaxing walk. Unfortunately, the weather was not so good and we didn’t enjoy much there. We will definitely go there again on a sunny day at Easter and recommend you to go there if you live in Herne Bay or happen to drive past there.”

“Nice park, ample parking. Great for kids. Cool as playground as well as a flat area to cycle and play on. Nice walkway by the stream.”

“Oakley Creek Waterfall in New Zealand is a hidden gem that offers a breathtaking escape into nature. The picturesque waterfall cascades gracefully down a rocky cliff, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant flora, creating a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation and reflection. The well-maintained walking trails leading to the waterfall make it accessible for visitors of all ages, and the sound of the rushing water adds to the tranquility of the experience. Whether you're an avid hiker or simply looking for a peaceful spot to enjoy the beauty of New Zealand's landscapes, Oakley Creek Waterfall is a must-visit destination that leaves a lasting impression.”

“Used to come here and did shopping many times. Luckily, came again today to buy some Cork Yoga Blocks for some DIY thing. Rightly priced. Will be back again.”

“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”

“Such a fantastic experience over the last year here. We’ve been to quite a few swim schools and nothing has topped the consistency and attention from DGSS. 5 stars!”

“This is a great place for relaxing, also good for the kids. There are two big waterslides. But it would be good to renovate a bit here and there, but it does not affecting the good experience.”

“Such an amazing learn to swim program. Our two daughters are part of the learn to swim and have a wonderful time learning and growing in the water with there two teachers Laura and Kristina. Anya does an amazing job setting up the learn to swim program and leading it I couldn’t recommend enough. The Indoor Pool Facility runs at a perfect air conditioned temperature and the pools are clean and comfortable for everyone! As a Swim Coach myself the team here does an incredible job! Lifeguards included as well!”

“Kmart Manukau, located in the bustling Manukau Supa Centa on Cavendish Drive, is the largest Kmart in New Zealand, spanning nearly 5,000 square metres. One of its most appealing features is its 24/7 operation, making it a convenient destination for shoppers at any hour, particularly shift workers and night owls. The store offers an impressive variety of affordable products, from homewares and furniture to clothing, toys, and electronics, making it a popular one-stop shop for families and individuals alike. Customers frequently praise the spacious layout, which generally allows for easy navigation even during busier periods. However, due to its popularity and large catchment area, Kmart Manukau can become especially busy on weekends and during sales, with long queues at checkouts and crowded aisles becoming more common. While many shoppers have noted helpful and friendly staff members, others have reported inconsistencies in customer service, ranging from difficulty locating assistance on the floor to mixed experiences at the checkout. Additionally, there are recurring concerns about store organisation—products can sometimes be misplaced, shelves untidy, and price tags either missing or not matching register prices. Cleanliness is another area where feedback varies, with some customers finding the store neat and well-kept, while others describe cluttered or messy conditions during peak times. One practical drawback mentioned in several reviews is the lack of accessible restroom facilities within the store, which can be inconvenient, particularly during late-night visits when other nearby amenities may be closed. Overall, Kmart Manukau remains a go-to shopping destination for many Aucklanders due to its size, range, and 24/7 convenience. However, customers planning to visit on weekends or during busy periods should be prepared for crowds and allow extra time for their shopping experience. While there are areas that could benefit from improved consistency, the store’s accessibility and product variety continue to attract a loyal customer base.”

“During heavy downpours multiple defences are used to treat water coming from Highway SH1. Contaminated stormwater fills the planted area first, then any surplus water spills through to the filter chamber and rocks. Here a special filling soaks up contaminants including hydrocarbons and heavy metals. Cleansed water from treatment areas pit drains slowly to Puhinui Stream water system below.”

“Better known as Frog Rock Swimming Hole. Wonderful pool in the forest at Puketui up the Tairua River on the gravel road to the Golden Hills historic park.”

“Really nice walk around this area. It has a nice park near the daycare and a workout park on the other side, too. Nice and well-maintained tracks.”

“Very calm water where you can walk out a fair bit before it gets deep. Water is super clean, and close to toilet facilities.”
