Children's entertainment room in Napier

The kitchen at Common Room takes a simple, bistro-style path and lets the food speak. Portions are generous yet well judged. A family‑friendly feel comes through naturally. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“Fantastic fun, good team of people, great facilities. We have been coming here for 3 years and the facilities and staff are great. They always go out of their way to make you and your kids comfortable and feel at home.”

“Awesome escape room. Our kids had a great time and staff were extremely nice and helpful when booking, arrival and afterwards. Highly recommended.”

“James is pretty swag at guitar hero. He did his thing. W James w time zone !! Great place”

“Daniel was very knowledgeable and listened to me, which I appreciated. He recommended a course of action and explained it clearly. Thank you.”

“Great extension to the existing park. Plenty of adventure and creativity equipment to entertain and keep the kids happy for hours. Also a central water feature to help cool down on those hot summers days. Plenty of areas to climb and swing with a junior and senior play area. Also, caters for some children activities for spacially challenged children. This means younger children can play more freely without getting hurt. Come and let the kids explore. New toilets have been added close to the park.”

“Sealed road all the way to the campsite. Stunning place to relax along the Mohaka River. We stayed one night and woke up to amazing birdsong in the morning. The sound of water at night is peaceful too. Would definitely recommend if you're wanting a place to stay between Napier and Taupo.”

“Excellent service, greeted and shown our seats as soon as we arrived. The staff were always on hand checking on us, never had to wait long to ask for another drink or anything else off the menu. The food was delicious. Large meals. Wanted to try the dessert but didn't have enough room in our bellies from the delicious food. Love the garlic loaf and the mocktails were yummy.”

“We stayed on the 5th floor in a twin double room. Rooms are clean and the view is delightful. We even found you can open the window when it’s not windy and enjoy the fresh air. Beds are comfy.”

“The kind of store that you go to buy one thing and leave with a bag full of stuff you think you need. Some shelves are often left untidy due to customers not returning items they no longer want and this can be annoying at times. Recommend for kid's clothing as there is a large selection of reasonably priced stock. Other redeeming feature is the opening hours, 8am to 12 midnight for those last minute purchases!”

“Absolutely awesome service and advice from Azaria at the hastings store Highly recommend for make up and skin care”

“The best Farmers store in Hawkes Bay, large range of quality products, great prices”

“Comfy seats and theatre warm. Ques long and could have done with more staff.”

“A first timer here myself, our Waipatu Kōhanga Reo tamariki and kaimahi had a ball, the whole area is fun, lots of pretty colourful tables and chairs spaced out out nicely, private rooms thank goodness for all our bags and shoes, it’s safe and so child friendly from the play area for all ages to the toilet facilities. The food and drinks came with a wide variety for all ages, loved the bathrooms, they were spotless, there’s changing table facilities in the wheelchair access bathroom for our babies, handbasins I have never seen before in New Zealand and all the countries I have been too, they are ideal, our babies did not need help washing their hands and I just had to take a photo. Great experience, we will definitely be back, best child play area ever.”

“I liked it. the only mistake is that the showers and women's cells were closed. but I understand that it is for safety.on the spot you will get something like a telephone where a good description of the place is recorded in fourteen languages ​​and also a lot of interesting facts about places or people connected with the prison. the graffiti on the walls or beds were interesting. I believe that we will also play an escape room.”

“As a first time parent this course is invaluable.”

“We had an excellent stay at Quality Inn Napier! From check-in to check-out, everything went smoothly. Staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Room was spacious, clean, and tidy, with two comfortable queen beds. It was also very quiet, which gave us a restful and uninterrupted sleep each night. They kindly provided a portable double hot plate upon request, which was perfect for preparing our own meals. The toilet and bathroom were spotless—another big plus. Location is also a standout—convenient and walkable to Marine Parade, which made exploring Napier easy and enjoyable. Free parking was spacious and felt very safe, adding to the peace of mind during our stay. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would gladly stay here again. Highly recommended!”

“Janice was extremely helpful, and pointed me in the right direction straight away. Keep up the good work Janice!”

“Cherry Grove Family centre is such an amazing resource. The staff are amazing, facility is beautiful and coffee and cake are always available. Brings me and my daughter joy every time we go. Do yourself a favour and come along!”

“Very friendly and welcoming team who take great care of the little ones in their centre”

“Absolutely warm and fun environment always has activity for the morning out and my daughter Layla enjoys and feels safe to stay every day thanks team”

“Nicki was wonderfully kind as she guided us through our car seat selection. We entered the store overwhelmed by choice and confused by all the different features available. We left confident that our baby is in a safe and appropriate car seat. Thank you for your support and patience!”
