Book store in New Zealand

“Nice and tidy store Service always great Today was at the Lotto counter and great service by the staff member”

“I had a wonderful stay at this place. It was clean, well-maintained, and offered great amenities. The weather and views were stunning, and the staff was polite, friendly, and always willing to help.”

“Had a great stay here over Christmas. The motel isn't too big, and service was friendly. The rooms were actually serviced during the day which I haven't had in the past in budget motels. The pool and spa are fantastic - just big enough and heated. A shade sail covers half of the pool. The room we had was dated but perfectly functional and others had been renovated. We were surprised our room was supplied with almost any kitchen tools you'd need.”

“Had the best first experience at Vivo Napier I wanted something different and I got different :) thanks to the lovely Tania who provided top quality service also had the best yarns. Definitely will be back to see her, thanks to her expertise! Should be a valued hair stylist highly recommend”

“We have been dealing with Warwick and his team for a few years now - with our kids studying in Dunedin. We can’t rate his service, communication and care high enough. He goes out of his way to help. Highly recommended.”

“I came in today, 2nd August 2025, and honestly, I just had to leave a review because the experience was that good. Right from the moment I walked in, the staff were so welcoming and friendly. You could tell they actually cared about making sure we were comfortable and happy. Service was fast, smooth, and super polite. It’s rare these days to see people go the extra mile, but the team here really did — and it made a big difference. Now about the food — wow. I’m not even exaggerating when I say everything was so fin’ good*. Packed with flavour, cooked perfectly, and served hot and fresh. Every bite just hit the spot. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in what they do, because the quality was honestly next level. I wasn’t even that hungry when I walked in, and still ended up eating way more than I expected — it was that tasty. I don’t usually write long reviews, but this place deserves it. The service, food, and vibe all came together perfectly. I’ll 100% be coming back and definitely recommending it to friends. Massive thanks to the whole team — you made my day.”

“I’ve taken my kids to Auckland Adventure Park a few times and they absolutely love the luge and the 4D cinema! It’s a fantastic place for children aged 4 through to teens. For younger kids—especially those in preschool and primary school—it’s an amazing venue for birthday parties. Their castle-themed party room is a real highlight, perfect for children who love medieval and knight-themed adventures. For older kids, the zipline and VR games offer plenty of excitement too. Highly recommended for a fun family day out or a memorable birthday celebration!”

“We visited Crystal Mountain during the week ( school term ) it is a great place with lots to offer and very unusual and interesting things to see. It boasts A Crystal Museum and store, Huge indoor play area, two cafes, carousel rides and a roller coaster, interesting animals, large dinosaur statues and more... Lots of free parking on-site . Ideal for all ages and for kids birthday parties. You get to Interact with most animals and feed them (the animal food is sold at the main entrance Cafe) The indoor play area includes 3 rides ( Carousel, teacup and train), a jumping castle plus a Massive activity area and a separate play area for toddlers Outside activities includes a train ride, roller coaster and tractor ride. The two cafes have a variety of food on their menu and is child friendly, one cafe is situated at the main entrance and the other at the indoor play area. The staff are super super kind ,friendly , interactive and helpful. We noticed a few of the staff cover alot of responsibility of the park and even with all that responsibility they still made our visit so much more fun. A huge thanks to the amazing team namely the young lady that does the train ride and sees to the animals, the young gentleman that operates the indoor rides and oversees the indoor play area and the helpful lady at the cafe who took the time to explain all that we needed to know so that we made the most of our time there. The Crystal Museum store sell so many beautiful and unusual items. Cons: The Main cafe food is substandard but cheap, we didnt try the food at the play area Cafe. When we bought our tickets on Grab One we ensured we bought the full access tickets there was no mention that during the school term week the Rollercoaster and tractor rides do not operate, we only found this out at the cafe counter when we handed our tickets in. I will definitely be going back.”

“Upmarket Mercy Opp Shop on Ponsonby Rd. Friendly staff with good energy & helpful & cheerful . I always buy something everytime I go there . Parking outside , free for a quick visit. High end second hand items, not the cheapest but have a lot of decent quality items. Always have customers visiting & in a nice area surrounded by lots of shops .”

“Had a few issues and the team were super helpful. Everyone was welcoming and the different departments worked well together to give me a reasonable price and timely fix. Highly recommend”

“Perfecto. Staff were awesome. Some noise inside by inconsiderate guests arriving late at night but no noise from outside at all. Location perfect, we flew at 6am. Have stayed probably 4 or 5 x now and have already rebooked for my next trip.”

“Very nice store. Bought a blanket there without a price tag. At the checkout I was asked how much I'd feel comfortable paying. I said 20$ and the guy just went "No, it got stains on it, 10$". Very lovely store and staff :)”

“Small but impactful in terms of quality product Essentials. Download your E club card onto your device. Use the code to get points. Love the fresh meats and good variety too. GR8, Deli products, Fish, Bakery products.......”

“I’ve accomplished something monumental by finishing my first Grande Green Tea Latte. I had to work through slurps and sips and scoops of cream. I pushed as the sugar smashed against my brain. I squashed the internal rebellion of doubt that arose from my teenage anti-consumerist politics. I’m in my 30’s now and it’s a revelation to find joy in something that once made my stomach twist. I’ve come to realize that Starbucks is the cosmic center of a city. It’s the one constant force in a chaotic world. Honestly, learning to love Starbucks is like falling in love with life. There are so many possibilities ahead of me: Caramel Frappuccinos, Peppermint Mochas. The coffee nerd of my early twenties is dead and I’m being reborn as a new man. I want to make new decisions that allow me to experience pure pleasure, again and again and again. The future has never felt this bright.”

“We walked in at 10am Tuesday morning, the line was almost to the door. We thought this will take forever and almost turned around. We then noticed most of the customers in front of us were going to one large table and the wait to the cashier was quick. Then I thought getting our food and drinks will take forever! Wow, best customer service ever. From the friendly cashier to getting our delicious meals from the kitchen and best Belgian Iced Chocolate yum.”

“Cosy bookshop with a surprising amount of products, not just books, also gifts and good artwork/office/school supply”

“Love this place, best second hand shop in Napier, there is always something nice to find here.”

“Very busy store, with numerous services in house. Including Post Shop, Lotto, Magazines and Books, numerous other options for sale as well”

“My five stars that I've given are all for our server who was Harshit. Harshit was very helpful, friendly, prompt and made the dining experience very positive. I have to add how good the ambience was beautiful surroundings. My husband and I appreciated watching the birds as we looked out the window while dining. (Not all seagulls)”

“Got three tattoos from these guys. Rob very helpful and accommodating guy. Read their stories on their webpage. Recommended 4 of my friends and it was a great experience for them too. Amazing culture and great services. Very reasonable prices too. Highly recommended.”

“We are so happy to write this review to share with everyone how amazing this centre and its residents are. Gyalten has given us an opportunity to work as volunteers through Helpx that we will always cherish as one of the many wonderful experiences we had in New Zealand. The Buddhist Centre is a very peaceful place. We participated in the Buddhist classes and enjoyed the experience. We are truly grateful for the people (the residents) we met there. They are wonderful people who have now become our friends. We highly recommend visiting this centre for classes and other activities.”

“Even I didn’t come here for much, I was stressing because I had a flat phone! The staff were nice to let me use a plug to charge my phone into :)”

“Absolutely chuffed with these fantastic toys! GoGoKids, you guys are bloody brilliant - top-notch service and great value. Mean as!”

“I had a great experience with Kim from the Eleventh Hour. Friendly and prompt communication. A fantastic range of goodies making it a one stop shop. Postage was fast & the stunning gift wrap was the cherry on top. Thank you!”
