Children's space in Napier

“All my years living in Napier, I have never been. Tonight my daughter took me along after she had been on a school trip. I was blown away! Absolutely loved my time there. What an experience. When they re open, I will be sure to take my grandchildren along for the experience. Thank you!”

“Loved being able to watch the FIFA match between NZ & Vietnam so close to home & relieved to find excellent covered seating in case the weather changed. Needed more food trucks to serve the crowd. I gave up waiting after 20 mins.”

“Great little zoo to get up and close with the animals. Very reasonable entry prices and giftwares that are available in the mini store area. Feed is also available for feeding the animals on site. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location wasn't too bad either. Would happily visit again in the future.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Great variety and quality of food and drinks, clean facilities, great shopping, nice staff, Tesla chargers just outside, great indoor and outdoor seating, great foods from menu or display cabinet, highly recommend”

“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”

“Had a fantastic hour will the ladies at footloose Napier. Came home with 2 pairs of the most comfortable cool shoes. Thank you so happy ♥️”

“Superb location central in Napier with beautiful sea views enjoyed from the room or on the balcony. Great bedroom, with comfortable bed. Spacious and well equipped with homely needs and an excellent stereo system. Little touches like coffee, tea and milk. This was one of favourite places we’ve stayed at here in NZ on our travels. Bike trips out to the vineyards etc. Tourist office directly opposite the apartment”

“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.”

“Thank you for the excellent service that my husband and I received today by two young assistants at your store. The helpful, patient and professional assistance was appreciated. Having to tackle a rusty towbar, assemble an ebike rack and attach the bike for two amateurs was a task in itself.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

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

Shed on the Quay runs with a simple, bistro-style menu and a relaxed feel. Outdoors works well when the weather plays along. Team members keep things friendly and on task. Plates offer plenty without tipping heavy.

“Great thinking spot. Beautiful views, take a picnic with.”

“Dropped in for a couple of sessions with the team here while on holiday - they are a very welcoming crew and fun to work out with. I normally train in QLD Australia this being my first time dropping in to a crossfit box - great coaching 100% recommend”

“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.”

“The best daycare so far. My 2 year old went to two other places before this one and even tho it’s more expensive. It’s worth the money. The staff are very good with the kids. Never had any issues. My child enjoyed the 2 year old room and when I moved place due to turning 3 she wanted to go back there. As far as supervision goes it was a 10/10 in her room. Not sure about the 3 -4 year old room as It’s alot bigger so from what I saw adult supervision wasn’t that good and alot more kids which is why we left but it’s like that everywhere- alot of kids. Great staff, very friendly and cater to your needs 10/10. Also never saw any badly behaved kids. They were all well behaved. Better than previous daycares.”

“Amazing teaching staff and great resources !!!!”

“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”

“Awesome kindergarten and lovely staff. The kids love it.”

“The education offered here is quite good for young kids.”
