Hospitals in New Zealand

“Fab service. Reasonable price. Treated cat well with respect.”

“I couldn't fault care Vets in anyway even if I tried. The moment we walked in the door you just got that warm feeling like your going to be looked after : and it was true. We have definitely adopted Carevets as our family Vet ...Thanks heaps Team”

“We had to make the tough decision to put out boy down last week.Karen and the team couldnt have been more empathetic. They were amazing. They let us have the time and space we needed to say goodbye. Truely grateful to Karen Gow and the team at Bay vets Whakatane”

“We just had our wedding at Eagle Ridge and were lucky enough to stay at the Homestead for 2 nights. I cannot recommend Eagle Ridge highly enough. The accommodation was absolutely next level! We felt so special staying there with our family and friends. The views were stunning, the grounds were beautiful and it was an absolute dream. For the wedding it was so nice being able to turn up and everything was pretty much done for you, nothing was too big or too small for the staff. They handled everything with complete professionalism. The food was delightful, everybody raved about how delicious the food was. And I cannot recommend highly enough the venue, Deborah and her incredible staff.”

“Sadly we were contacted by Pap Village Vets as a community member brought in our deceased cat to be microchipped scanned to find us. They went above and beyond for us. They wrote a beautiful card, took paw prints for us. They even contacted the person who posted our cat online to try track us down to take down the post so we did not have to view it. Thank you for being there for us in such a tough time! You showed great kindness and empathy- we really appreciated it!”

“We had such an incredible stay at M Social! The staff there were so friendly and helpful, absolute first class hospitality. They went above and beyond to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. Special mentions for the amazing view of the harbour and the breakfast buffet. We’ll be back next time we’re in Auckland!”

“Beautiful villa restaurant tucked in between two high rise buildings. Came for WoW and absolutely loved the service, the staff were interesting in talking to us and very friendly. The food was exceptional - one of us had the set menu for WoW and two ordered off the menu (love that option).”

“We had such a great experience for our New Year’s Eve dinner that we came again for my father in-law’s birthday! The set menu for New Year’s Eve was absolutely delicious! We had the same waitress both times and she made the experience exceptional (her name is Janice from Germany-sorry for not spelling her name correctly). She is a rockstar! When we came for the regular menu, and everything tasted so good! It is a very unique restaurant and wish there were more like this! (The 200 g Canterbury beef fillet is a must! The homemade bread is delicious and so is the soup special)”

“Portia loves going to the vets and I always feel listened to with any concerns I have regarding her health. The team are very friendly and professional”

“Worked a Corporate Challenge in Christchurch this week. Commodore Hotel was exceptionally localed for both the event and airport. It has the most luxurious bed. It was like sleeping on clouds. The kitchen was open for a late night dinner, which was very much appreciated with finishing so late. The breakfast this morning was delicious. Offering both a Continental Breakfast and brilliant A La Carte. I opted for the Continental which was perfectly satisfying.”

“Very convenient to central Christchurch. Stayed here a couple of times, Summer and Winter and the contrast is interesting. There is a back deck outside area with covers and heaters. Drag blankets from the games room too if needed. Cosy villa all around. Can't wait to stay again.”

“Super friendly group. We loved our experience here.”

“Nice Cafe Under the stairs at the Hosptial - Brendon is nice, Good coffee, food and reasonable price.”

“Early Stay Feedback – Distinction Hotel Dunedin We have just arrived in Dunedin on an early morning flight, and our first impression of Distinction Hotel has been exceptional thanks to Emma at the front desk. Emma provided outstanding service from the moment we walked in. She warmly organised secure storage for our bags, arranged for them to be delivered to our room later, and offered thoughtful recommendations on places to explore while we waited. She even phoned us personally as soon as our room was ready all done with genuine kindness, professionalism, and a welcoming smile. If this is the beginning of our stay, we’re already envisioning an amazing experience ahead. Emma is an absolute credit to your team.”

“Very helpful team at reception, gave a calming spray to our cat. The vet was very thorough, asked a lot of questions to understand the issue. The consultation cost was ok, but the two drugs prescribed - WOW! Anyway, the cat is definitely more comfortable today. Thanks Franklin Vets.”

“Regarded as one of the top three Italian restaurants in North Shore, this Trattoria does not fail to impress. I recently brought my parents for the first time here, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The spacious dining area, complete with offerings like gelato, formaggio, salumi, and il pasticcino, sets the stage for an authentic Italian feast. The service, professional and like a well-oiled machine, only adds to the charm. We indulged in the Leek and Potato Soup, Capresina, Spaghetti Alle Vongole, Tiramisu, and Tiramisu Eclair. The Capresina was a standout, generously topped with premium Burrata and Parma Ham. The Spaghetti Alle Vongole was a revelation—fresh pasta, perfectly cooked clams, and a symphony of flavours that made it the best I’ve ever had. To top it off, their Tiramisu is flawless. The prices are more than fair for the quality and craftsmanship of the dishes. Practicalities? Plenty of parking and a grocery shop next door make it a win-win. My advice? Just go. You won’t regret it.”

“BirdCare, in Greenbay, are good at taking care of sick, injured birds. I've taken a few native birds in over the years. They could do with more voluntary contributions of donations, which helps take care of the birds, either a money donation or frozen bags of mixed veges, like peas, corn, carrot..”

“MicroMed spray has been an ideal preventative intervention for my German Shepherd. As soon as I see him biting or licking a spot, I use the spray. 9/10 it will clear up before I have to do anything else. It is also good for when there is a hotspot, to help him pay less attention to it alongside shaving/cropping the fur so it can heal.”

“Lovely staff. Very attentive. My cat Ralph is a-bit of a anxious king but is always looked after and made comfortable”

“Amazing experience from the whole team. Claudia was absolutely fantastic to deal with. The communication, level of care and professionalism was outstanding. Would not hesitate to recommend.”

“Friendly and welcoming staff took good care of my cat peaches while she got her vaccination done. Affordable prices too. Highly recommend!”

“Locals suggested me to come here and oh boy - one of the best places in Wellington for sure! I can’t remember when I had a better toast than the one I got here. Lovely staff members, great food and wonderful coffee! Perfect atmosphere to come for a small bite or stay longer and chill ✨”

“Great staff, great atmosphere, they let me have a coffee in their uncovered courtyard which was a god send for the heavily autistic person that I am. 10/10”

“Just had the most amazing 3 course meal featuring Sri Lankan Hoppers. Incredible food, really lovely service and got to see the hoppers being made by the chef. The flavours were outstanding, highly recommend eating at the T Lounge by Dilmah. Keep an eye out for their specialties Thursday and Friday nights.”

“The team are amazing both with animals and humans. The support we have had during our adoption process and afterwards is second to none.”

“What a wonderful place to stay in Wellington. We stayed here for two nights and were extremely satisfied. The welcome was warm, and the owners were very friendly. The room had a private bathroom down the hall and a personal fridge in another room. All facilities were adequately provided. The owner joins you for breakfast in the morning, which always led to enjoyable conversations. The B&B also has a fantastic view of the bay; you're right by the water. We parked our car on the street near the B&B for two nights, which was safe and, of course, cost nothing. To get to Wellington Center, you'll need an Uber or taxi.”

“A lovely place with great service - they kept filling water and attending to every table with friendly service. I was there after lunchtime but it was still pretty busy. I had the avo & halloumi on toast, and the sourdough was to die for!!! Honestly, it was one of the best breads I have ever had, no joke. I asked if they sold it separately - sadly, no. I would have bought some. :) But I inhaled the meal and it was great. Just the right size too. Loved it! Would be back. And would find some meal that has that awesome bread, yum!!”

“Fabulous tasty food and plenty of it. 5 people and we shared all the food and it was great. Served on lovely plates and looked and tasted amazing. The staff did a great job of explaining the menu to us and what each dish came with and entailed. We had to attend an event and the food came in great time. The cocktails were also great and the wine list was good. only issue was they didn't sell bubbles by the glass so we just had to buy a bottle and that was superb. We didn't have room for any dessert which was a shame as they sounded amazing. we will be back”
