Sport & School & Kindergarten in Christchurch

“My daughter has been going to Swarm for a couple terms and loves it. The tutor team is supportive, talented, and genuinely care about what they do. They create such a warm, encouraging environment that my daughter looks forward to every class. It’s a great price for the level of quality and care the instructors provide. Being a teen my daughter has struggled with confidence but has grown so much in this because of Swarm. Highly recommend this studio to any parent!”

“I loved everything about this space. An old school with a range of different businesses in the old classrooms.The court yard was filled with tables and chairs and a very relaxed vibe to go with it. I had the Eggs Benedict, a delicious coffee and piece of scrumptious slice for the road later. The Bene was that good I haven’t stopped thinking about it. The cabinet was full of healthy options with plenty of gf to. I think I’ve just found my new stop over.”

“Wonderful place to bring family and friends! We had an (arctic) blast last time we went, had a lot to do and see with all the activities and shows althroughout. Please note though that rides do have a height requirement which they are a bit strict with for safety reasons. The rest are pretty accessible to the young and young at heart. A bit pricey but you doget a lot of enjoyment and knowledge out of it.”

“So cool! Good value for money! Had a shuttle if you didn't feel like walking. Lots of cool animals to see. Even got to feed the giraffes! Very ethical place no forcing the animals to interact it's all on there terms. Plenty of very friendly staff and awesome guides.”

“Wouldnt ride anywhere else, absolute quality instruction with fantastic well cared for horses. They even offer riders the opportunity to compete on their horses which is awesome. You not only learn how to ride, you learn everything from horse mastership, grooming , how to lunge correctly etc.”

“Been playing sports here since they opened. Different owners over the years & price increases as well. Good carparking, Any accidents sorted fast. Fun nights and great refs”

“Came to look around the gym based on the council's current $30 promo and Lilli (from the Customer Experience team) was an absolute star. The other council gyms we'd visited had just waved us through independently, which is totally fine, but Lilli went the extra mile, showing us all the equipment, group fitness areas and pools and gave us loads of useful information, which has very much convinced us to join. Thanks again!”

“Peter Dale (Tutor) thank you! 2 day theory was challenging, your method of teaching was professional & your response to students that struggled like myself was rewarding to know that you give that extra time & care to insure the knowledge was understood! I myself am a practical learner & have always struggled with theory, in saying that my practical driving was on point & a "Pass" keep teaching how you teach Pete you are tough, fair & a good tutor. Ka mihi ano ki a koe (thank you again)”

“Parking is congested and very limited. Be aware of bicycles and motorbikes please.”

“The team here support the local LEGO group, if you're after LEGO, look no further. On multiple occasions I have contacted them to express interest in yet to be released sets. They have taken down my contact details, set the item aside when stock came in, then called me back to let me know it's ready. Kudos to whatever system to they're using to keep track of these requests, as sometimes the products haven't reached NZ until months after my initial contact. To top it all off they even ensure you get your desired minifig in the blind bags. The prices can be a little higher than the likes of Kmart or The Warehouse, but it's worth it.”

“Hannah was exceptional, she was super friendly and helpful! Kids loved her, we will definitely be back :)”

“Just been to UC open day with my daughter. She will be attending in 2027. Such a fabulous experience. All the hype of open night delivered in Wellington, re delivered and experienced in campus. Super knowledgeable staff and extraordinarily kind and patient student help. Such a great vibe and so removed from my own experience it makes me want to go back to learning. Can't recommend this Uni any higher.”

“Our family has been part of Harewood Road Montessori for almost 6 years, with our second child currently attending, and I honestly couldn’t recommend it more. The teachers are warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive to each child’s needs. It’s been wonderful to see how much care they put into helping little ones learn, grow, and gain confidence. Communication with parents is fantastic — we’re always kept up to date through chats, photos, and learning updates. They also take food allergies very seriously, which gives me real peace of mind. The preschool organises lots of fun themed days and cultural celebrations throughout the year. They even had a visit from a police officer recently with police car, and my little one was so excited to tell me all about it! We feel blessed to have found such a wonderful, nurturing place where our children truly thrive.”

“Really beautiful swimming pool! It has a 25m pool, a 20m pool, a hot pool, and a kids' pool. So far, I’ve been there three weekends in a row, and each time I had an entire lane to myself. Such a great swimming experience! Also, the receptionist is super friendly!”

“Great spot, so pleased we have this locally.”

“Jesse helped me load up my tractor tyres onto my trailer for me. Thanks mate!”

“Amazing community, great staff and overall a great university hall of residence”

“I was shopping for my little cousin for Christmas and I was helped out by a lovely staff member his name was Oscar, I didn’t end up buying anything but now I’ll know for next time I come in. I’ll definitely be coming back! Such a friendly guy thank you!!”

“Fantastic golfing experience. Great layout. Fairways the best I’ve ever hit a ball off. The staff are a credit to your business. I wish I could remember your names individually as you’re an absolute credit to your employers. From the course Marshall who approached us to take pins out as we putted to apologising for the slowness as it was the members medal day. Which he didn’t have to do as I was thoroughly enjoying the day (again I’m hopeless with names but what a fantastic bloke who came and asked me in the clubhouse how my round went) Also the young proshop or manager who asked me how my day went as I sat for a beer. Great hospitality and I can’t wait to come back. 10/10 experience.”

“So glad they retained this paddling pool. Great for littlies and for adults who want to sit and cool off their feet.”

“Great slides n pool price for 1 adult n child eg $20 total. It was so relaxing. Also 3 water slides..family spa..free bbqs..diving boards..indoor and outdoor pools!! Lotsa picnic areas too”

“Ara osteopath clinic is very good, professional, and thorough. Even if you're very complex, they can help you.”

“We love this nursery because all the staff are super kind and caring. We immediately felt relaxed meeting the team for the first time (especially Linda), and knew our child would be safe here and that she’d have loads of fun! Thank you to her wonderful teachers Chantelle & Eloisa, and to Jess on reception :) highly recommend!”

“Nice clean large mall. Free carpark. Location fantastic. Ok variety of food, but could be a little better. Favorite chch mall when visiting the city.”

“This is a wonderful school. The teachers are fantastic.”

“Good school but if you do not go to class David Seymour come to your house FBI style but since I go to class I'm over halfway to level 1 at year 10 so if you want to learn this school is good just make sure you go to class”

“Had amazing customer service from Simon who really went the extra mile to resolve an issue I had with some headphones. It's so great to see good old fashioned customer service is still allve and well at our local noel Leeming!”
