Sport & School & Kindergarten in Auckland

“A really nice, multi-use gymnasium - two large arenas with a viewing platform between. Houses gymnastics and trampoline National and international competitions and training.”

“Love this place, cause i met the one who i loved so deeply.”

“My son(4years old) improved his swimming skill a lot from the amazing instructors. Full 30 mins session, no time wasting like council pools. Absolutely enjoying my son swimming skill after I joined him in Hilton Brown Albany.”

“Best university ever! Haha in my experience, AUT is a great place to study Health Science, Sports and Recreation & Exercise and Nutrition Science. Well equipped and the learning environment is a mixture of theory and practical.”

“Lovely morning wandering around looking at exhibitions. Had a go at rock painting, handy café on site for coffee and food”

“What a gem. I've participated in acrylic pouring painting classes and a poi workshop. So much fun. I love it! Really cool exhibitions there too. The teachers are great. They accommodate complete beginners.”

“An outstanding facility, rich in culture and a very nurturing, learning space. Ka Rawe!”

“probably the best lecture theater in Albany campus but it is too cold because of the air conditionor”

“Was my first time but can say well organised place to have some fun with proper parking. Usually booked out so try get a slot before you go!!”

“Superbly restored historic building in park-like grounds. Lovely cafe & arts display too!”

“Awesome Community Hub. I've been going with my wife for the past 2 weeks and it's always tidy, clean and lots of parking available.”

“Modern meeting rooms / classrooms”

“I highly recommend little feet to everyone. My two sons(one now in primary) are attending. All the teachers are patient and kind. You can see their love for my Son. Such a clean, big space for the children to learn and play. Thank you for being there for me and my family.”

“Great customer service from all the staff especially the receptionist. I signed up for an adult swim class with Morgan. He was very patient to us and always does his best to correct our form and techniques. I didn't realize that learning swimming even as an adult could be this fun. The place is always clean and the water is really warm.”

“The new shop is great !! cleverly located in a beautiful country spot, surrounded by fantastic views and tame alpacas. So much stock to choose from and friendly professional advice. Amazing!”

“I've said it before and I'll say it again-best cafe on the North Shore! Anna has created a haven with hand picked coffee beans from around the globe, expertly roasted and carefully measured. The food is concise, with fewer options done exceptionally. The BEST ingredients and scones ever (and I've eaten them the world over-sorry Scotland!) ...caramelised cashews on top, melt in your mouth crumb and softest crystalised ginger. Love”

“Auckland Zoo is an easy standout. The staff and volunteers are genuinely friendly and make the whole place feel welcoming. The animals look well cared for and the habitats are clean and well maintained. Plenty to keep the kids entertained with lots of space to explore and learn. Also, the coffee at the front cafe is surprisingly good which is always a win. A smooth, enjoyable visit from start to finish. Great place for families. Parking was closed due to renovations, so we had to park near MOTAT. Nice walk through the park though.”

“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.”

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

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

“What a spot! My friend and I were looking for someplace new to try today and I’m so glad we found Vibe! We were impressed by the full, delicious looking cabinet. The service was excellent, and food yummy. I tried the Hokey Pokey latte and can recommend! Lots of seating too. We’ll be back :)”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“A very nice place for all your wines, spirits and beer. They even do cheese n stuff, thats goes with wine.”

“Beautiful setting and environment. Children play ground as well as walking tracks, one of which leads down to water front. Grounds gets very soggy on wet winters, this is so to the basketball court, paly ground, refer photos. Good summer picnic spot, quite and a hidden gem.”
