Public pools & Water park in Hastings

“Always a good experience with the water test and advice offered”

“Excellent service from Milo in Gardening. Went above and beyond to demonstrate an item for me and was very friendly. Great asset to the store. Thanks.”

“Another fantastic spot to take a photo of trains heading through this one of a kind water feature. Over the years, the Clock Tower has been another one of those popular places to get a photo of a train. The perfect time to get one is a mid-morning to lunchtime shot with the train heading through. The train has to be heading Northbound to get it spot on. This also means you get the Clock Tower poking out behind the trees. Highly recommended for any Rail Enthusiast's Wank Bank on their computer, aka, a Foamer Bank”

“An excellent facility. 3 great days of Bridge played here.”

“Nice and warm here i sometimes swim here with my Mum and i enjoy it nice and suitable for lane walking too my Mum often comes here to swim”

“For what is a small city in global terms, the Gallery consistently features a wide range of exhibitions. It also keeps children in mind with activities and space to show their creative abilities. The white Lego bricks last year was a (literally) a huge success.”

“Thank you for such an amazing Mothers day gift - I was in your store searching for a bunny hutch “inherited 2 bunnies from daughter”. I asked a lovely man if they had any cages - none available but he then handed me a bag of Mother’s Day gifts - thank you!”

“Stayed one night. Clean tidy room. Only issue is the walls/doors arent very sound proof. Could hear the neighbour's talking outside in their car which was parked right outside my door. They weren't talking very loud but could still hear them.”

“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.”

“Mike & his team are amazing, great knowledge”

“Click & collect is my preferred option. I was served straight away. Showed order number & identification. Grabbed my goods and gone.”

“Had a wonderful family weekend at Lawn Rd Retreat. The facilities were outstanding and so much room to spread out. I would recommend to anyone that wants a great weekend away.”

“What a lovely park. Its quite large so plenty of room to throw a ball for your fur baby and not worry about neighbour's. Nice little stream running through it. Great for letting dogs off lead.”

“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”

“This was a wonderful experience to see such a great place for everyone to enjoy. We are from Hamilton and don't have anything remotely similar to this facility.”

“It a bit different playground Nice area for picnic and to walk around”

“Hosted at the showgrounds there's plenty of shade and space, the stalls are a great range of gourmet food stalls, with food trucks and Hawthorne coffee for delicious breakfast options too. Dog friendly.”

“Very nice park and also a very good rose garden in the park.”

“Dennis was very accomodating for my group of friends and I who made arrangements over the phone for multiple rooms 18 months out from the Mission concert. Very grateful and were all really impressed with the spacious rooms and facilities. Thank you so much again!”

“The lantern festival is wonderful. Beautiful lights, live music, reflections on the water. Great job. Loved it! Plus there are food trucks and facilities.”

“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.”

“Awesome place for families to enjoy”

“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.”

“We recently stayed here for our second work visit and were once again impressed by the friendly managers and the exceptional cleanliness. This place is clean, tidy, and quiet — just perfect! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you!”
