Children's entertainment room in Christchurch

“Great store and staff here. Sad to hear that it's being closed down.”

“Extremely helpful staff. Good range of clothes and sizes. I couldn't find a shirt in my size, so the very helpful staff member checked other stores and organized a swap. Beyond the call of duty.”

“I just wanted to leave some positive feedback about Tom Bells at your Westfield Riccarton store. I popped in earlier, made a purchase, and then realised my Farmers Club Card hadn't been linked up properly. When I went back to the till for a quick query, Tom stepped right in. He was brilliant! He sorted the whole purchase out in a flash, making sure my card was added so I got all my points. Tom was so friendly and efficient - he never made me feel like I was holding him up, which I really appreciated. A genuinely great shopping experience, all thanks to Tom. Give him a pat on the back! :)”

“I was looking for a bra and decided to inquire about a bra fitting and I'm so glad I did. Despite my initial nervousness, the experience proved pleasant. A sales member began by asking my preference then checking bra fits, later consulting a colleague for another opinion. This resulted in a smooth process, and pinpointing the perfect bra. Both assistants ensured my comfort throughout. Unfortunately, I have forgotten their names but thank you so very much.”

“Recently hosted a bingo night there for a crowd of about 100, and had the best experience! The staff were friendly and helpful, from the initial enquiry right through the event and afterwards. The room we held the event at was warm and comfortable, with great lighting and seating options, as well as a PA, screens and microphone ready to use. The bar staff are efficient with serving a great variety of food and drinks at good prices. I'm now trying to find excuses to organise more events, just because it was so easy and fun!”

“Nick is the best worker. He made us feel so welcome. After a long night out, he was so kind. The rest of the staff was so nice and so friendly. They even gave us some complimentary garlic knots. If I could give them a 10 stars I would! So appreciative of the work they do here! ”

“The service was amazing. The popcorn was very good and came in generous portions, and the same goes for the drinks. They also have a great selection of movies.”

“Lovely lady on the till/checkout was very helpful and friendly when asked about donations.”

“Great mini golf course, we had fun with it! (Adult and teens) Clever and creative, good amount of challenge. Definitely recommend. Discounted on Fridays too which was an added perk! We played the hour before closing, will come back another time to try the other activities.”

“The store manager Sam is amazing. He went out of his way to help me and my sister, when other kmart ricc team were less than helpful!”

“Even thought it's one of the smaller Warehouses, it always has a really good range of products.”

“A big The Warehouse with a large selection of items. Decent prices and a very big car park. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy to access from both sides of Blenheim Road. Open till midnight.”

“Woah...portions are BIG....ribs were really nice and if you are not too hungry, maybe a starter portion is sufficient. their burger was also super, and beer to go with it. all good. Just be careful though if u are ordering sides, be clear what you ordered and how much extra it will cost. I ordered a side I thought came with the main course and ended up paying close to $10 for the side.”

On the plate at Joe's Garage Cranford Street, the idea is breakfast‑and‑brunch and well judged. Breakfast plates are tidy and satisfying. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Pricing lines up with the offer.

“i love this store. but sadly a lotta people come in and treat the workers wrong. treat people like how you wanna be treated. seriously. if your kid is having a tanty take him/her outside and let her cry. stop making there job harder.”

“Just been there to purchase a bike lock what a genuine helpful person on the customer service counter.”

“Amazing customer support, each and everyone person working there was great. Mark resolve the issue extremely well, even though they were out of stock on something but helped me get the right one.”

“We love Annabels, my daughter has been going there since February and she is thriving. She has gained alot of confidence in that time. She loves her teachers whom are warm and supportive with her learning. She loves the big outdoor play area with loads of room for the children. Annabels is her favourite place.”

“We have been part of the Rosy Cheeks family for over 8 years now. Our oldest daughter and son have moved onto primary school in that time and we felt they were both fully prepared and confident to make the transition after their time at Rosy Cheeks. Our youngest daughter, currently at Rosy Cheeks, also loves her time there. As a parent, the communication from head teacher Kathy is fantastic, and exceeded our expectations during the turmoil and challenges faced over the last 8 years. The daily contact,with each of the amazing teaching team (even when it is a brief word at drop-off or pick up) is very much valued. Rosy Cheeks has definitely met the needs for all 3 of our children and our family, and I would unreservedly recommend it as an Early Learning Centre.”

“My girls love Annabel’s. Having tried other daycares, none compare to the quality of Annabel’s. The beautiful, spacious outdoor area, the quality of the teachers who genuinely care, not to mention the resident chickens, guinea pigs, and the friendly bunnies who pop by to say hi to the kids — honestly, this place is one of a kind.”

“Great pre-school, lovely teachers. Our kids really enjoy(ed) their time here. Thanks a lot for your good warm care and early learning experience!”

“Such a fun centre for my child she has thrived, they support her emotionally and socially and always have super fun learning experiences out for the children to engage with!”

“A great group for mums sit together to chat and talk about everything in baby's growth.”

“Rhyme & Reason are truly amazing. I think that’s all that needs to be said. For anyone thinking about it. They have the right combination of being detailed oriented, putting people in that are great with kids, creating an environment that the kids love, and making sure activities are both fun and educational. We, and our kids always look forward to the mornings.”

“Absolutely amazing place. So grateful we went there something now for my son to do where he feels safe and comfortable. Just so good!”
