Children's entertainment space in Hastings

“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.”

“This one worker her name was Jade, I always see her there and she is the best worker I've ever seen. She once helped me out of a locked changing room, helped a little kid after they tripped, got something for this old lady off a tall shelf, hyped up this girl in some shoes she wanted to buy, and even helped this guy pick out a nice scarf for his wife. Once I accidentally was short five dollars and she payed the rest. This girl is amazing and deserves so much more than she is paid. Praise this woman she is beautiful on the inside aswell as the outside.”

“Although full restoration of the Municipal Building is incomplete, the Opera House, Foyer and Atrium conversion (to a fully operational function centre) restore the complex to a functional state capable of hosting large events and conferences. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and organised, willing and able to assist from planning to execution of your event. The Opera House acoustics remain world class, the upgrade has improved audience comfort while retaining its Art Deco era appeal. From a technical A/V perspective I did notice a small amount of noise from the venue power supply, but this was easily dealt with.”

“Vital resource staffed by wonderful empathic but realistic people. A safe place. Various classes held and support of needed is there to. I'll say again. A safe place. It's calm and gentle but with events and classes to stimulate. You don't have to be referred. Great spaces for artistic classes plus so much more. If you're in need of info to help protect you, but it's not an emergency as such,( maybe getting there though), these wonderful hard working - Angels in disguise, will not just point you in right direction and hook you up with those you need, they offer comfort to those who were in dire need and no one else to talk to. Trust them. Also just for any lady, Trans or non binary to enrolled in many self improvement classes and creative classes when you thought your creativity had been crushed out of you. Just go visit even if it's just to sit in the sun and have a cup of tea. They are a huge resource. Make use of them.”

“One of the best playgrounds in NZ, splash pad, great slides and climbing structures, variety of swings and lots for even little kids to do as well. Our kids from 2 - 12 could have spent the whole day here”

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.

“This resort has both accommodation and camp sites. It's so far about the normal It's unbelievable. Amazingly luxurious glamping tents, rooms with every amenity and gorgeous facilities. There are lounges and a heated swimming pool with spa bath, a sauna and I've bath in the ample landscaped grounds, and all next door to the boutique 'village' of Havelock North.”

“Went to the Heathers production, absolutely loved it, cute little theater and staff were lovely, coffee/tea and slices provided at intermission included in ticket price. Look forward to seeing future productions at this place”

“So many fun things to do at the park now. Partly sheltered with a sunshade. Skate park and water play area. Large climbing frame and slide. The larger park area contains walking tracks, gym stations and disc golf. There is also a basketball court for hours of fun.”

“One of my favourite places. This place offers alot of variety. We have here the netball courts, soccer & rugby fields, hockey facility, athletics on the track, small stadium & running track around the complex. They is also a bike track for the kids.”

“Lovely playground, includes modern climbing frames and swings, sandpit and slide. There is also a wheelchair roundabout but it appears to be under repair at the moment.”

“A welcoming place. Holds an exercise class with a cuppa afterwards, and there is beginner linedancing that I enjoy. So far the council funds it. Let's hope that continues. Also used to pass on handed-in produce and clothing to people who want it.”

“Awesome place to take the kids with their scooters and skateboards. Beautiful place to have you hold outs ( takeaways)”

“Lovely green house garden open to public. Can enjoy beautiful garden and then take a nice stroll around some of park walkways after to enjoy outdoor garden and other features park has to offer.”

“Nice park and beautiful old trees.. small but everything you need .. little playground and room for dogs to play.. I like the exercise equipment there that's free to use”

“New art display and new big open field in the central part of town where people can relax with cafes nearby or even a bar just a short walk over the road . Good use of space just needs a couple of nice oak trees put there for shade during the summer time and could be used during blossom parade if they added a couple blossom trees to or near the corner/s”

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

“All my nieces and nephews have come here and now my baby is here. The best kindergarten ever kaiako are amazing with the children and my daughter absolutely loves it here.”

“Mayfair Kindy has caring and competent teachers and a real community vibe to it. The learning environment at Mayfair is driven by the kids interests and no two days are alike. As a parent of Mayfair Kindy, off and on, for the last 14 years I cannot recommend Mayfair Kindergarten highly enough.”

“Have been here more than I'd like to admit whist pregnant and after having my son. The lovely ladies are so friendly and helpful and nothing is ever too much of an ask. Will definitely be back to see them as the are so knowledgeable and caring ”
