“Many thanks for an extremely well run holiday skating lessons. Very impressed. Highly recommend people to attend if it's being run again. Grandkids loved it.”

“This is the best stadium for soccer or rugby I ever visited. Near the unipol, and convenient to walk from the city. Parking is also provided for the vehicles and easy to navigate. Seating arrangements are amazing, especially the screens to see the replay and scores. If you ever come to Dunedin, you should watch one match there. Nice place, provided with good food facilities.”

“Nice setting for a meal, beautiful gardens to go wander around and spend some time with family. Food was superb, I think they didn't had their regular front of house team on as service was a little unsure of themselves. The brisket was top notch and filling. Good size portion for the price.”

At The Craic Irish Tavern, the menu stays kebab and pita, served with an easygoing pace. Service moves quickly through the morning rush. Sauces stay in check and wraps hold together. Team members keep things friendly and on task.

“Great for kids of all ages. They have a toddler time on Saturday morning from 9 -10 am which is great for the little ones. I also often go on a Wednesday afternoon when it's quiet. Great price and no extra charge for parents when supervising little ones. You do need grippy socks which they sell there.”

“Great playground, the kids love it. And there is good coffee right next door. What else do you need!”

“Moore Park is a delightful escape, offering a refreshing blend of natural beauty and recreational opportunities. The expansive green spaces are perfect for picnics, games, or simply relaxing in the sunshine. The well-maintained pathways invite leisurely strolls, and the overall atmosphere is one of tranquility and enjoyment. One of the most charming aspects of Moore Park is its hidden gems. I was pleasantly surprised to discover swings tied to tall trees far back in the field. They weren't professionally made, but they had a certain rustic charm that instantly transported me back to childhood. It was a simple yet heartwarming sight that genuinely lifted my spirits. Moore Park is a wonderful place to spend time, whether you're seeking outdoor recreation or a touch of nostalgia. The park's combination of natural beauty and unexpected delights makes it a truly memorable destination. It's a place where you can reconnect with nature and rediscover the simple joys of life.”
