Sport & School & Kindergarten in Hamilton

“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!”

“Fantastic local brewery with awesome beer, staff and atmosphere. Best of all they are dog welcoming. Treats and all. In dog we trust.”

“Belinda Goodwin is a natural and empathetic dance teacher who appears to have found her true calling in life. Her classes are inspirational - each session commencing with Belinda giving an explanation of what areas and systems she is focusing on for that class. Each dance is demonstrated and its beneficial components explained further throughout the movement. Belinda also elaborates on the links between the physical and emotional aspects of the movements and how they are related to the rhythm of the music for each piece. As participants she reminds us off the importance of the brain to develop new neural networks which can only serve to benefit participants further. Belinda gains the trust of her pupils so they work hard to meet her expectations. She uses praise constantly and does not criticise or cajole her students. She encourages them to do what they feel they can best achieve within the limitations of their Individual conditions. The class benefits from her physicality, musicality and sense of spirituality as well as her great sense of rhythm. She loves to heighten the mood of a dance by adding vocalisations to give special emphasis to sections of the music that she particularly enjoys or wants stressed. Her special talents combined with her enthusiasm for life and her compassion, concern and consideration for and of her pupils as individuals make Belinda an unforgettable, excellent dance teacher.

“Amazing facility with great community vibe. Massive out door area with real grass and animals for children to interact with. My child loves going every day”

“I absolutely recommend this centre to everyone with toddlers and pre schoolers. The staff here are highly attentive to my sons extra needs, and most importantly their communication is top tier. I will be sad when my son graduates to school”

“My brother Matthew did two terms of swimming lessons at Dolphinz. The teachers are kind and patient. Matthew is now a confident swimmer, capable of swimming in a pool that is way over his head. Heartfelt appreciation to all his teachers.”

“I booked a last minute appointment to come here which I found the process very easy. I arrived 20 minutes before my appointment and was warmly greeted with a “Kia Ora” by the reception staff. I instantly felt very comfortable as I am Māori myself. Everything following this interaction was smooth sailing.. I filled in the necessary forms and was almost immediately seen by the dentist. The consult was very quick and it was decided quickly that we would extract 2 teeth, this took no longer than 20 minutes. My experience was very positive and I left feeling that I had all the information I needed but also satisfied with my service. I would highly recommend and would also be coming back in the future. Atmosphere was nice, staff were amazing. Nothing to fault. I’m usually very against the dentist but I have to say this has been my best experience by far.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Exceptional Immigration Experience! We can’t thank New Zealand Shores Immigration Consultation Services enough for helping make our dream of moving from the United States to New Zealand a reality! After first starting this process with another immigration consultancy (who shall remain unnamed), we felt frustrated, overlooked, and like we were being strung along for endless consultation fees. Then we found NZ Shores, and everything changed. Our initial consultation was with Julia Cooke, who immediately earned our trust and gave us the clarity and confidence we needed to move forward. Julia helped guide us in the right direction and set the foundation for what would become a smooth and successful journey. From there, we were assigned to Clintivene Sechel, who was absolutely incredible — professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in our success. Clintivene guided us through every step with honesty, clarity, and care. There was no hidden jargon, no confusion, and no surprises — just straightforward, expert advice and well-organized documentation that made an incredibly complex process feel manageable. We began our journey in February, and now, at the end of October, we’re sitting in the airport in New Zealand, ready to start our new life! I even start my new job on Tuesday! To anyone considering making the move to New Zealand: don’t waste your time elsewhere. NZ Shores is the real deal — professional, transparent, and truly supportive from start to finish. Thank you again to Julia, Clintivene, and the entire NZ Shores team — we couldn’t have done it without you!”

I highly recommend NZIHF Hamilton, the staff and instructors there will help you no matter your situation and they will make sure you are well looked after. Defiantly going to miss going up there! Thanks Team, keep being awesome!”

“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.”

“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.”

“My son has being coming to Hazlemere for a couple of years, and we are genuinely so sad for when he starts school. The kaiako are absolutely incredible and have such passion for what they do. My son has absolutely thrived and it has helped him become independent and ready for school. Highly recommend for any parents.”

“The host Steve is nice and communicatable. We were surprised by the abundant breakfast ingredients offered by Steve. The equipments in this house are convient. The decorations are beautiful. Staying in a storytelling house which used to be a school was special. We had a great stay in The Old School House!”

“I have been part of this Kung Fu community for many years. It has not only helped me with my self defense and physical health, it has also helped with my confidence, leadership, resilience and mental health. This Kung Fu school is filled with amazing, kind and supportive people always ready to help you and push you to become better. It also gives you many opportunities to meet and train with people all over NZ. I highly recommend coming to try it out.”

“A genuine pleasure to join them for their Christmas extravaganza! Kind words don’t do their hospitality and friendship justice, and I’m so happy I could help put on a great show for the kids. Can’t wait to go back!”

“Haven't been. Hear great things about the place.thank you”

“Would highly recommend fitme massage. Alana was amazing, she was professional, and made me feel very comfortable throughout the 90 min massage. She focused on all my problem areas and did wonders for my back which had been so painful since giving birth to my son 8 months prior. Thanks again, and I look forward to booking in again soon! :)”

“I highly recommend Emma. Her expertise, advice and professionalism was outstanding and I felt very secure during a very uncertain time. Emma was always responsive and timely with communication - no waiting around for things to be actioned.”

“A huge thanks to Harjinder and the whole New Start NZ Immigration Advisers team for their excellent service. Harjinder is very experienced and gave me clear guidance through every step of the process. Everything was handled professionally and on time. I really appreciate his honesty, support, and quick communication. Highly recommend this company for anyone needing reliable immigration help in New Zealand.”

From the management to the teachers and administrator everyone is pleasant. Glad that my daughter is at the right place.”
