“Such an amazing help, my driving teacher is so lovely at first I was very anxious about doing lessens but now I am more confident and relaxed i would recommend booking lessens they are so helpful :)”

“We played Echoes of the Damned on Monday morning and absolutely loved it! The 9/10 scare rating lived up to the hype – pretty intense, especially for my partner – but it made the experience even more thrilling. Great atmosphere, clever puzzles, and plenty of scares. Highly recommend for horror fans!”

“These guys are absolutely amazing. Going to a BJJ gym you never know what you are going to get, a kind gym or a gym filled with ego. This gym was one of the nicest gyms I’ve ever been to. The facility is clean, and well maintained (with amazing art too!). We visited from the United States and we were welcomed as if we’ve been training there for years. Zach was the coach for the night and he couldn’t have been nicer, and he was pretty funny too, with loads of talent to share. The class we attended was absolutely amazing and we had a great time. If you’re searching for a gym, or want to train while away from home, this is the place to go. Thank you guys again for making us feel at home, and for giving us a place to train the sport we love.”

“So pleased we chose Sara Anderson Dance for my 3 year old daughter. Sara and her team are so lovely to the little ones, we really enjoy our weekly lessons and the showcase was a wonderful experience. The older dancers took the younger ones under their wings, looked after them and made them feel special. Thank you so much Kathryn”

“Enjoyed our tiny tigers session through kidsfest and are looking forward to continuing our journey :)”

“Penelope was fantastic today. It was Sunday and busy but she took the time to assess my walking and give me really good options. She made me feel at ease and no question was silly to her. I walked in really nervous and walked out very happy with my Mizanos. Great work and thank you!”

“Best thing I did was sign up to altitude redwood! Such a fun environment to be your self and learn from some very talented people! Highly recommend.”

“Having never been to a Dentist, I was apprehensive at first. The service provided by Daniel and his team was outstanding. Every step was explained, and the process straightforward.”

“Went in to have a one-on-one two hour training session as I hadn't been in the riding seat for about three years. Walked out with my BHST! Steve was absolutely phenomenal. Great sense of humour, made me feel super at ease and confident. He wasn't afraid to hold me accountable when I made silly mistakes, which is exactly what I needed as he could pin point the moments I started overthinking things. He had a great way about him, the session was relaxed, covered all the basics, and when watching back the videos my friend took I hear myself laughing most of the time. Great fun, and Steve was a big part of that. Ornsby better watch out though as I'm devising a plan to steal that blue GN! Highly recommend.”

“My paragliding journey started with a wonderful tandem flight with Grey Hamilton, the head honcho at Cloudbase Paragliding in Christchurch, and I fell in love with paragliding straight away. I decided to go to another company in Queenstown (just for the scenery) to start my paragliding training, but really didn't enjoy the teaching methods there so I came back to Christchurch to finish my training and become a qualified paraglider pilot. And I'm so glad I did! For starters, the scenery in Christchurch is also beautiful, but while you're learning you're concentrating so much you don't really think about that. What is much more important is what, and how you learn. Grey and his assistant instructors are very experienced, and they teach with care, patience, and with safety at the forefront. Also, (unlike in QT) they really love what they're doing, and I was never made to feel like I was wasting the instructor's time when it took me a while to learn something new. Grey also teaches all the necessary theory, from the physics of flying, to airspace law, to meteorology, and helps you through all the exams you need to pass to qualify. Having recently been awarded my licence, I feel super confident to explore NZ with my new gear (which Grey very kindly sourced for me at a discount price) ready to put my new skills into practice. And now I can enjoy all that beautiful scenery with no stress! Thanks to everyone at Cloudbase! :)”

“my son is loving it. Instructors are friendly and he’s having a brilliant time.”

“I had an excellent experience with my DG license . The training was clear, professional, and very well structured. Complex regulations were explained in a simple and practical way, with real-world examples that made the learning engaging and easy to understand. The instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer questions. # online training helps too much to understanding the dangerous goods rules and regulations.”

“My son has just started at Karate here and is loving it. They do a free trial to see if the kids actually like it, which is very helpful. Adding in fun, game based activities, helps to keep the younger ones interested”

“Phenomenal service from Lisa Tippen. Lisa dealt with our auction as we are absentee owners, she arranged every single aspect of the marketing campaign and staging required without any hands on involvement from us as we are in the North Island. From Go to Sold was incredibly quick with Lisa keeping us up to date with every single viewer visit and open homes during this time. She did not miss a single step and we have been blown away at her enthusiasm and dedication to getting our house sold, she is definitely worth her weight in gold. I would highly recommend Lisa to any prospective sellers as we have never experienced such a painless process in what we thought might be a challenge to complete.”

“I’ve been going to BoxHiit30 Papanui for over 2 years now and absolutely love it! The trainers are super supportive and really know how to push you while keeping it fun. It’s such a great community – everyone is welcoming and encouraging, which makes turning up so much easier. I love that they run regular challenges to keep you accountable and add a fun competitive twist. The workouts are always versatile and never boring, which keeps me motivated. Couldn’t recommend BoxHiit30 more to anyo looking for a different gym experience!”

““I’m truly grateful to Dan for his incredible support and guidance throughout my resident visa journey. He always treated me with kindness, kept me informed at every stage, and made a huge difference in my life. Thank you!” I am so grateful for their services. I highly recommend their services to anyone navigating the immigration process.””

“Had my eyelash extensions done by Lisa for the second time, and just like the first, she did an excellent job! She took my preferences into account and suggested the best way to achieve my desired look based on my eye shape. I also had my brows done last time, and she made sure both the shape and tint color suited me perfectly. So happy to have found such an amazing and friendly lash tech!”

“Great gym with an awesome atmosphere. Very welcoming with solid training sessions and an emphasis on technique. Also has a very flexible timetable offering early morning and evening sessions 5 days a week, plus a Saturday and women’s class. Greg looks after his students and puts in the time and effort to better their jiu jitsu. Love this place.”

“Bumblebees is part of our lifestyle now and the baby hasn’t even started yet. It’s an easy and good vibe here. Only have to ask the kids to put their shoes on once when it’s time for Bumblebees.”

“What an experience! 3 of us from Total Realty, along with our husbands, had the most incredible prep, cooking, and tasting experience! We had so much food we all took enough home for dinner. Was such a cool thing to do - get amongst it and have a go!”

“A really wonderful independent cinema, that also have a dvd library with a huuuuge collection! Nice to browse before your film starts too. Definitely worth a visit if you are visiting Christchurch!”

“Awesome evening with my lovely wife attending Vivaldi's The Four Seasons by candlelight. Beautiful venue, great acoustics, polite staff. Thank you for a wonderful evening.”

“I emailed with a hopeful chance that they might accommodate a ride on Christmas day, and was thrilled that they could. Hannah and Kata greeted us and I produced us to our horses. My mother and I are experienced riders, but had never been on Icelandic horses before. We rode along a wetland with black swans, through beautiful pine forests, and along the ocean beach. They were impressive, easily moving through the trails and powerful through the sand. Kata and Hannah even taught us a new gait, the tolt, special to these incredible builds. The speed they could gain on the beach was exhilarating. Definitely not a horse just for kids. Would highly recommend this horse, this route, and this company!”

“I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the fantastic handling skills training session. Caron's clear explanations and practical demonstrations made a big difference in my understanding of the basic techniques. I especially appreciated how you broke down each maneuver step-by-step, which really helped me grasp the concepts. Your patience and willingness to answer all of our questions created a supportive learning environment. I feel much more confident in my riding abilities thanks to your instruction. Keep up the great work – your approach is truly effective and appreciated!”
