Private school in Hamilton

“Love this place. My kid has been swimming here since she was about 3 or so months, and I have seen her grow up there. All the staff there are really friendly and now they really well. Now she is in mini squad and doesn't want to leave.”

“I go to school here, and it's a great school. We have fun on days like Sacred Heart day, and the teachers are really nice”

“3 of our children have attended Big Hugz. 2 of them with neurodivergence and our youngest with a physical disability. Yvonne and her team are and have been amazing throughout our daycare journey and our children that have maintained close relationships with their teachers. Would 1000% recommend if you're looking for an intimate setting with smaller numbers for your children.”

“So many great shows produced in this small theatre over the years, I found 'Sweeney Todd' surely a terrific work. The lighting, the personal intimate experience you get with being so close to the cast is fabulous, the door staff great. You have to remember the amazing work put in by volunteers here. Our new Theatre under construction is all very well but it will never reconstruct this atmosphere of closeup superb acting small spaces give you..Thank you all.”

“Stu gives great personalised guitar lessons. He is an expert, very talented and pleasant teacher.... Would dare to say one of the best in the country. Highly recommended”

“Thank you so much Rachna for this moment of awakening with the Shirodhara treatment. Incredible moment and special feeling. You are such a great person, gentle and very helpful. I will come back for sure if I'm coming back in NZ Best regards from French Polynesia Wish you the best Margaux”

“My son has absolutely thrived since coming to Ace swim school. The instructors really care about the children’s progress and treat each child as an individual. The small group sizes make a huge difference, and it’s quieter compared to the bigger swimming complexes which has helped my son focus. I highly recommend this place!”

“Em's yoga classes are medicine for my mind, body and spirit! She has such an incredible gift in her teaching, and knows how to exactly tap in to where you are to offer rest, renewal and a space to recharge. I find my intuition unlocks even deeper after doing a class and find myself receiving guidance which is so supportive for where I am and what I've been journeying with. I love how her approach is trauma-informed, and that she can balance playfulness and mastery when she teaches. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ”

“Shard's yoga classes and are not like anything else currently available on the yoga scene. Not for masses, this is personal, detailed, and curated just for you. She is knowledgeable and thoughtful in all her sequencing as well as a playful and intuitive teacher, each session is a little work of art and breath.”

“My daughter went there, and she says that it’s the best piano class she’s gone to so far. The piano teacher is super nice and will literally teach you anything if you ask him. He is also super talented, for example- my daughter asked him to teach her a song in a easier way, and the next thing I knew she was playing one of her favourite Japanese songs. She is very lucky to have such a talented musician.”

“Learning Links is a second family to us. My son attended 3 years ago and now my daughter. All of the staff are amazing, and they work together with you to nurture your child's development plus they provide healthy delicious meals! I truly couldn't ask for a better day care.”

“Our family joined LDA this year, and we've been made so welcome. Not having a foundation in dance, I have a lot of questions and the team do such a brilliant job of answering them - or preempting them with detailed communication. Our dancer is so happy to attend each week, adores her teacher and the friends she has made. She has shown growth in not only her dance but in her poise, confidence and desire to learn. The teaching is well structured and the teachers are passionate about their craft. The standards and rules within the studio environment help create a cohesive vibe - and the special dress up days are a highlight each term!”

“Close view of flight for visitors, landing and take of small planes and helicopters, a nice experience for the kids …!”

“The best kindergarten All the staff are very nice and friendly. My son was there and stayed there until he was five years old. My daughter is still there and she has been there since she was one year old and now she is four years old. I highly recommend it.”

“That's is a good place for studying English language The staff is so friendly They have activities for each day They have trip after term I like this school & i miss everything about it.”

“There is a wide choice of movies here at Event Cinemas Chartwell. Popcorn and a choice of ice creams plus a lot of yum things sweet can be bought here to eat with the movie. I like the chairs that are so comfortable and can be adjusted to ones comfort. The screens are huge and the sound of the movie is incredible. Parking is a breeze and free. Located on the first floor you can use the escalator or a lift to get to the cinemas. This is a great outing for the whole family. Give it a go. You won't be disappointed.”

“I first met Scot back in year 11 when I started the senior drama club at St Peter’s. His energy and passion during this lunch time club was contagious and I knew from that moment that I wanted to work with him more. I began singing lessons with Scot that same year and since then he has absolutely transformed my voice. Scot enabled me to hit notes that I could never imagine and sing songs that I didn’t think were possible. Not only has he transformed my voice but he has brought out a confidence in me that I didn’t think I had. Singing in front of people has always been terrifying to me but with Scot’s encouraging guidance I have been able to face my fears and perform to many in various recitals. Scot is an extremely talented performer and teacher who radiates positivity and genuine passion. Scot has lead me to pursue a career in the performing arts and I am forever grateful!”
