“She has got new very junior staff. The way the boss lady spoke to them was not only encouraging, supportive, respectful and informative, giving rationale for why things should be done. What true leaders/mentors are made of. And the food was delicious, I got battered mussels and hotdogs on a stick.”

“Bobbie O’Fee and Katherine Ward from ONLA Accounting are incredible to work with. They’re approachable, knowledgeable, and make accounting feel simple and stress-free. I’ve always appreciated how upfront they are with advice and how they genuinely want the best outcome for their clients. Their team is professional, efficient, and easy to communicate with, which makes managing business finances a whole lot easier. If you’re after accountants in Palmerston North who you can trust and actually enjoy dealing with, Bobbie and Katherine are the people to see.”

“Kia ora. I went to Awa Ink through the recommendation of a friend and work colleague. I was born in Melbourne, Australia, and have lived full time in New Zealand since 1997. I have a number of old skool type tattoos which I had done during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The only tattoo that meant anything to me is my daughter's name on a ribbon and love heart type design. I really wanted something new that tells my story and truly means something to me. Tawhiri absolutely exceeded my expectations with a beautiful Tā moko telling my story along with my daughter's name and the name of my mokopuna. I requested the Southern Cross be included as I was born under this constellation and is featured on the Australian flag where I was born and the New Zealand flag where I have lived for close to 30 years. I also have a connection to Samoa through a very close friend which also features the Southern Cross on its flag. My overall experience with Tawhiri at Awa Ink absolutely exceeded my expectations. Thank you Tawhiri. Ngā mihi nui”

“We recently moved to Napier and visited practically all the daycares/baby rooms across Napier and Taradale for our 19-month-old girl. Best Starts Napier came out on top by a mile. The centre has plenty of shaded outdoor space. The outdoor and indoor areas are well-decorated with lots of activities such as water play, wooden toys, and even animals (birds and guinea pigs) to keep the little ones entertained throughout the day. The staff are wonderful, warm, kind, and professional. They provide an individual learning journey and give weekly updates with pictures and often little stories through the Story Park app. We highly recommend the centre.”

“Good service, good communication at a competitive price”
