Book store in Napier

“Best place for art supplies. Awesome staff.”

“What a treasure trove for book lovers. The lady who owns this shop is amazing. Just ask her if you are looking for a particular book or author. She will 90% of the time know if she has it and where it is.”

“A large range of items. The shop was very busy which is a good sign. The electrical items are checked and tagged. We bought a lamp and some other items. Very happy with our bargains.”

“Very helpful staff. They put a handrail up to make it safer for people to enter the store.”

“Amazing service in an emergency! The team went beyond to assist me with my flat tyre on a rainy day. Nothing worse than getting caught out when out of town. Thanks for awesome help and a warm dry spot while you fixed the tyre.”

“Super friendly, knowledgeable staff. Enjoyed my most recent visit. Always go back.”

“Our experience with Kreshla has been excellent. Nothing has been too much trouble. She is lovely to deal with and also shows great patience in explaining everything. I know you might find things a little cheaper if you did all the planning yourself online but for that little extra(and honest Flight Centre looks after everthing e.g transfers, flights (domestic & Int.), aircraft seating,seating, accommodations (layovers and destinations), insurance (a MUST for any Int. travel) and lots more. Simply takes away all that hassle and if there is that rare hiccup during your trip you know you have a easy contact to sort it out pain-free. Highly recommend!!”

“Crispy Penguin was delicious. Sourced fresh apparently.”

“I had a great experience being tattooed by Lindsay at the Tattoo and Art Convention. Her technique meant pain was minimal and she was great to interact with. Thanks Lindsay!”

“The best lashes and brows in New Zealand! I’ve been to a lot of salons over the years, but nothing compares to the girls at Lash & Brow Academy. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and warm, welcoming vibe make every appointment such a treat. My lashes and brows have never looked better — I get compliments all the time! Highly recommend them to anyone who wants flawless results and an amazing experience every time.”

“A perfect flat white made with locally sourced Hohepa milk. The owner is a fantastic friendly guy who surfs longboards. They do takeaways, but I'd recommend taking a load off and enjoying your relaxing cuppa in-house. Highly recommended.”

“Very Interesting, knowledgeable guy running the place. He has a great story too! Fair prices and great selection of books. The sort of bookshop you will always return to. Really happy to find it.”

“We purchased an Azure Premier 4 person spa almost one year ago. Wayne and his team were (and still are) the epitome of professionalism during a very trying time of delay after delay due to Covid (ordered in November 2020 and arrived in February 2021). However, despite this the team had our best interests at heart and the silver lining for the delays was an amazing upgrade from a 2 person to the 4 person due to the Black Caps Special for not much more than what we had been quoted on the original purchase. The delivery went without a hitch and full set up and instruction was provided. We have had prompt service for all future dealings with the team when getting chemicals etc. Buying a spa thru Wayne at Hot Springs Spa Napier has been one of the best investments we have made, particularly as we train to compete in iron man distance events later this year. Relaxing in it after exercise helps the muscles recover quickly. The cost to run it is very nominal at only $30-40 extra per month (compared to 100-150 for cheaper brands). Although the initial outlay is more than some brands, the economy of running them and the pre and after sales service is worth the extra cost. Being able to have friends and family join in a spa date is epic. The Azure comfortably seats 4 people even though it is smaller than some 4 person spas. You definitely get what you pay for and then some! Kia Kaha, Hot Springs Spa Team.”

“I can't recommend Kylie enough! I was in desperate need of a last-minute appointment, and she kindly squeezed me into her schedule. Not only was she accommodating, but her work was absolutely top-notch. She took the time to understand what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. I walked out of the salon feeling amazing and so happy with my hair! She is a true professional with a great eye for detail, and I’m so grateful to have found her. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Lou has always been very accommodating when it comes to grooming my Fur babies! I highly recommend her!”

“Excellent service. I called up to enquire about a product and they helped me through the process over the phone and also made sure that I’d receive the product in time as I had limited time. Thank you so much for all your help. I really appreciate.”

“Quite possibly the best scones in all of Aotearoa! Beautiful rural vibe. Efficient & friendly service.”

“Absolutely amazed with my massage today done by Kim. I left feeling like a whole new person. Thank you so much. I will definitely be returning.”

“This is a great spot to stop in for wine, food and good vibes! Right across from the Museum Theatre Gallery and very central, we stopped after doing the self guided Art Decco walking tour. Great wine and great service!”

“This is my first coffee in Napier. I was looking for nice coffee with small snack and good atmosphere. So searched Google but couldn’t find it. And when I drove to Kmart with kids. It suddenly showed up in front of me and I could feel it. So I came back after Kmart. And it was perfect for me. Thank you so much!”

“We did the guided walking tour around Napier’s art deco buildings run by a volunteer from the Art Deco Trust. You need to pre book your places on the tour. It was easy walking, went for about an hour and a half, they provide you with a head set so you can listen to your guide. Great stories, wonderful insights about the city, especially the earthquake history. I’d highly recommend the tour.”

“Awesome service and really got us out of a bind over the break, thanks SO much. Top notch service from the receptionist to the foreman to the experienced tradesman who jumped on the case. Cheers, you guys rock!”

“Very helpful staff member when I was enquiring about an item I was looking for. The store has a nice lay out too”

“Honestly just great food, it was hard to choose what to order because everything on the menu sounded yum! And what showed up did not disappoint! Great spot for a family friendly lunch with the milkshake range heroing rather than the alcohol (though drinks are available).”

“Excellent service, Quick and efficient. Staff very friendly. 10 /10.”

“Lovely shop to go into...have alot of different things to look at and staff are very helpful.”
