School in Auckland

“Barbara Jenner's review above has confused two venues. She is criticising the large Torbay Community Hall which is owned by the TCA - Torbay Community Association. Torbay Theatre, an amateur theatre group, owns the small Gate Theatre which is attached to the Hall. I hope this clarifies things?”

“The best part are the acoustics. You have very good sound quality wherever you sit. The staff are friendly and helpful and the shows are always of a very high caliber.”

“It was a 5 star performance. The cast performed Young Frankenstein.”

“Beautiful venue with ample parking close. Show we went to see was great. Snacks and drinks available. Kids friendly.”

“Such a treat to go there in Howick from Manurewa. Great deals on tickets and quiet even in the school holidays.”

“Easy website to order from. Purchased a deal during the connetix sale which was the best on the market. Arrived well packaged with a personalised note.”

“Had my daughter’s 3rd Birthday here and it was honestly so incredible. Ryan and his team communicated everything so well, from the party room, to the decorations to what kind of food we wanted. The actual playground is clean and tidy and the viewing space for adults is big! You don’t feel crowded at all. We have gone to other indoor playgrounds before and the space is so cramped and uncomfortable! They have such a huge range of party decorations and themes and add on options for the parties it really is a one stop shop!! Will definitely be recommending this to all my Mummy friends and will be back to celebrate more of my kids birthdays! Thank you Ryan and Team!”

“Amazing place for birthday celebrations. I had my 5 year Olds celebration today and the host was amazing.”

“Such a fantastic building with tons of culture. A cozy theatre just big enough for the medium sized event. While awaiting the upcoming performance the theater itself gives so much to look at and admire. Parking building around the corner but tight streets, may suggest Uber to your event.”

“my son has been on Youth Theatre classes run by Tim Bray Productions. Its been absolutely great to see him growing confidence in speaking in front of others and being willing to share his ideas with others. He's been enjoying so much as it is also a lot of fun playing with friends together. it's a really great way to get kids involved with learning in social and individual ways.”

“Just watched the end of year show as my niece and nephew go to this dance school... Ive been to SOOOO many end of year dance shows for different nieces and friends kids over the years, and this was by FAR the BEST one Ive ever seen!! Amazing story telling, amazing dancers, amazing costumes and amazing organization!! I dont deal with this dance school personally but from what I witnessed tonight, they have to be one of the best dance schools!! Huge props to the owner, manager, dance teachers, other staff and even the older children who did so amazing!!! I was so impressed with the older kids!! The older kids not only maintained the story and their dancing, while directing all the younger/youngest dancers! BRAVO!! Editing to also say... This is also the only end of year dance show that I would've been happy to watch even if I didn't know any kids in tge show lol.”

“Really enjoyed our visit here. The show and guide was really good.”

“Excellent dance teaching a variety of styles. Great studio for boys wanting to learn.”

“My daughter loves MERC, we have been using them for about the last 6/7 years. The activities offered are always varied and exciting, my daughter comes home with lots to talk about and excited to go back. The staff are so friendly and helpful. This has to be the best holiday program we've used over the years. I cant rave about MERC enough! Best valve for money as well!”

“I have been surfing for 5 years and I was searching for private training to take my surfing to the next level. I found Piha Surf Academy and its great packages. I booked the 5 lessons package and I did my last lesson last week. The instructor was constantly giving me feedback in the water which help me correct old bad habits I was dragging throughout the years. I highly recommend Piha Surf Academy for beginners and intermediate surfers.”

“I love this place and we pretty much play every wednesday. Cricket, Soccer, Basket ball. Drinks also available 4 places in total. Very economical and staff is friendly.”

“Went to the Glen Eden Playhouse Theatre last weekend to watch a musical play! It was easy to access!! Since the play was in the evening lots of parking were available at the back of the building and the seats were comfortable inside the theatre. It was quite spacious and could fit over 100 people!!”

“The staff here were very accommodating after I had mistakenly booked wheelchair tickets for the Commodores concert as someone who's not physically disabled. They switched up our seats with some empty seats and allowed me and my partner to still sit together. The centre is very nice and comfortable, and there is free water from the fountain.”

“Our 2 daughters (now 8 & 10) joined Empire after attending a school holiday program with friends. We absolutely LOVE the studio and have recommended it to so many others. We particularly love the inclusive environment where students are empowered and supported to step out of their comfort zone and try new things and be their best selves. No body issues, hair styles or special uniforms required - just honest fun and friendship. My eldest has joined a competition team this year which has been a step up from the community classes in terms of commitment and skill level but she has been gently nudged and comes home every week wanting to practice and test her body and learn new tricks. She is so proud of herself every time she nails it. Thanks to Claire and Jaymie for the wonderful community they’ve developed and nurture. We love being part of it!”

“Fantastic sporting facilities provided by AUT. We recently attened the 20th Anniversary of Se Jong Taekwondo there. The facilities totally exceed my expectations.”

“Hawkins Theatre in Papakura is now open after refurbishment. Hawkins theatre is a great place to meet with friends and enjoy each others company while catching a movie, school performances, Dane competitions, events and awards, The Glow Show, or a fun time with Operatunity!! You can purchase ice-cream, coffee, biscuits, or wine at the bar. You can take them into the theatre with you also. If you are a senior and purchase your tickets online for the movies, currently they are only $10:00. Hawkins theatre is also a lovely place to take the grandchildren/mokopuna for the movies anytime. There is often a Ladies night, which costs $24 or $26 depending if you purchase in advance or at the door. Thus usually involves a chick flick(however some me do attend) a drink of any kind and an ice-cream. A great deal. Here are a few photos of the April program to pique your interest.”

“Interesting and relevant courses provided that help students understand more of who God is and how that knowledge affects us and our community.”

“This studio is great. The teachers are ridiculously talented and have a vibrant, infectious energy. I'm inspired every lesson to up my game and enjoy the many forms of hip hop dance they teach.”

“One of the best courts in town! The admin team—especially Mo—are incredibly helpful and friendly. Highly recommended!"”

“I absolutely love this club. My daughter is in the competitive program with some great results. Top grade equipment in a not so nice building that will hopefully be replaced one day. Highly recommend”

“Wooow nice entertainment place, nice place big area, there are more then 33slot, there are given 100balls 1 basket 15$, hybrid’s bat given for 3$, wedges bat i dont know exact name is free you take and use return back the places, no time limit, you relax and enjoy, you can to practice for best place, free car parking available…”

“Best instructor in town. He has got a great experience and doing everything in a professional way. Very helpful and a good man. Highly recommended.”

“Was here for a 95th birthday party and the food and atmosphere were amazing”

“There is indoor sports gym, meeting rooms, gym with weights, toilet and shower area. All clean and tidy”

“Bruce Pullman Park truly shines as an outstanding destination for a day of fun and relaxation! The park is meticulously maintained, boasting ample green spaces that are perfect for picnics and outdoor games. Children will adore the fantastic playground area including the basketball court and the dedicated cycling area. Additionally, there are various car roads that provides a safe environment for those learning to drive. The walking trails are perfect for a leisurely stroll. Plus, the park offers several lovely spots for birdwatching, making it a peaceful haven to unwind and connect with nature. It's a perfect place to create lasting memories.”
