“Very tasty food in a low key setting. One of the nicest chicken kormas I have ever had. Others in the group thoroughly enjoyed their balti dishes. Attentive yet respectful service. A hidden gem in Miramar!”

“Came in today to put my cat down who I’ve had my whole life. She was 18 years old and it was time to make the decision. I am super happy with the experience, the staff were amazing and made it a great positive experience given my first time doing this. They had even given me copies of her paw prints and some of her fur to take. 10/10 experience.”

“We have had so many positive experiences with Valley Cottage Vets for our two cats (who can both be quite high maintenance and complicated). Really glad we moved here after stressful vet visits in other clinics. Alix has the kindest nature towards animals and the whole team goes above and beyond. Thank you!”

“We were warmly greeted on arrival and this set the tone for the rest of the evening. The food was outstanding, we shared 4 plates - the asparagus, the venison tataki, the lamb and the potatoes. Each plate was generous and beautifully presented. There was obviously a lot of love and care taking place in the kitchen, and we certainly benefitted! Overall a 5 star experience.”

“Great service, very friendly staff, felt like they looked after my kitten very well and were very knowledgeable.”

“Great quiet place to stay, easy to find after a long flight and the room was kept nice and warm for my midnight arrival. The after hours key was easy to find and the room was lovely and clean. Will definitely stay again”

“Amazing staff! all are so positive, will definitely be a forever client. Thank you Halswell team ☺️”

“Huge shoutout to the amazing staff. We're regulars (Hot chocs and cotto pizza) and I just want to say how fantastic everyone is. The food & drinks are delicious, the ambiance top notch (love the new look), but it's the staff that make the place extra awesome. Special shout out to everyone yesterday and today! (Sep 18-19)”

“Pretty much perfect. Coffee is spectacular. Food is brilliant. Service and atmosphere is welcoming and clean.”

“Fantastic motel! The rooms had everything we needed and more and were very clean, tidy and modern. The owners were friendly and helpful with recommendations on places to visit and where to eat out. Would visit again for sure.”

“Love the coffee here, they do a mean coconut flat white and it is also the most reasonably priced coffee in town, if your in the area definitely recommend grabbing a takeaway”

The kitchen at Crazy Tandoor takes a simple, bistro‑style path and lets the food speak. Outdoors works when the weather plays along. Pricing lines up with the offer. Service stays present without fuss.

Solera runs with a classic fish‑and‑chips menu and an easy pace. Sweets lean classic and not overly rich. Portions are generous yet well judged. Portions suit sharing without tipping heavy. Service st...

“I see the lovely team here almost every day. Best coffee, best staff, couldnt ask for better neighbors! I recommend them the most!!”

On the plate at ADJØ, the idea is coffee-and-cabinet and well executed. Cabinet bakes and slices round out the stop. A family‑friendly feel comes through naturally. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy.

“Food was delicious and a very good portion for the price. The owners are lovely and the overall experience was very relaxing.”

“I have done my fair share of research when looking for a vet and I am confident to say that I trust this vet with my pet! They have an amazing team, a lovely receptionist and the nurses and doctors are super informative and friendly!”

“Not our first time and worth every minute of it, apart from the first little bit when we had a bit of a long wait to get seated. The atmosphere is amazing with eclectic decor and the team that served and cooked were brilliant. The meals were worth paying a little more than we usually do for with tender rump loin and then bread pudding capping the session off. Thanks for another worthwhile experience.”

“We have just returned from our romantic "mini break" on Waiheke. Studio 1 was a room with WOW factor from the view and privacy of the room to the luxurious linen on the bed! The Nespresso, bathroom products, cleaning products, interior touches and design with feather filled cushions were thoughtful and a welcomed change from the regular "Hotel products" that seem a little "chain storish" at times. The lockbox and other security features were a perfect touch. The local Waiheke wine is exactly what you want on offer when you travel to an island so rich in the winery experience so well done! The craft beer was a particularly satisfying drop and we could easily have had 2 more each. The walk to Mudbrick was indeed short as was the walk to the Oneroa retail, restaurants and the local art. Your location is truly convenient which only added to the overall exceptional experience of packing in as much as possible in this "mini break". The communication from Jan was efficient and we thank you for allowing us to keep our bags in the storage facility while we took advantage of tiki touring our way through the sights. Constructively: (this did not affect our stay in any way) Our TV was stuck on "loud" and for the life of me I couldn't work out how to turn it down so that may have been annoying for Unit No 2. The beer really was sublime, another 2-4 would have been perfection. For avid coffee drinkers who take milk, perhaps 500ml of milk would last better given Nespresso is made with a milk frother) I am sure you get asked all the time for a late checkout as the room is so amazing but that too could be a plus sometimes although I do understand the need for an efficient cleaning schedule. I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone wanting to experience "authentic sophisticated service" and hope to get back sometime soon. PS Loved the complimentary Whittakers Chocolates!!”

“I had the distinct pleasure of eating at Di Vino Bistro for the first time. It was a most wonderful experience, the service was amazing, the food incredible and the price very reasonable.”

“By far one of the best places I have stayed in years. travelling for work a lot, I get to stay at a lot of places and never really feel the need to leave a review one way or the other, but this place is worth a mention. From the first encounter with staff to the last, the experience is friendly and efficient, the room I stayed in was very spacious, extremely well appointed and super clean. Stayed in the middle of winter so noticed the double glazing and individual heat pumps in each room immediately as the apartment was cosy and warm throughout. Vehicles are securely parked underground with easy access to elevators and ample parking. There is a high level of security with elevators requiring room tags to access the correct floor adding additional comfort to lone travellers or people leaving and returning at odd hours. Finally - as an added benefit - you open the doors to the balcony and realise that there is small stream right behind the apartments that you can hear all the time. (Bit too cold during my stay to leave the balcony doors open over night, but in summer this must be the most tranquil experience ever) - I have advised my company, our corporate travel agency and my co-workers that this is by far the most outstanding property I have stayed in for a while and when in the neighbourhood, staying here is an absolute must.”

“excellent and friendly vets, as well as excellent, knowledgeable handling of big breed dogs. Go the extra mile w/o being asked. thank you for being so friendly and kind. Pumbaa & Rachel”

“Our little cat Pipi has been into Whangaparoa vets 5 times now for eating cutty grass and every time the team has been warm and welcoming, they even nick named her "The Lawnmower"”

“Big shout out to the great staff (especially Jordan) at Havana Coffee Works for helping me find a new filter and seal for my extremely ancient (but very good) stove-top espresso machine. Thanks for all the suggestions - I did finally find the right sized seal and am enjoying my morning coffee again. We've been getting our coffee on subscription from Havana since 2020 and the service is brilliant. Thanks!”

“Tina the vet was amazing and explained things very clearly. The receptionists were very friendly as well.”

“Stayed twice for work and will definitely recommend. They’ve added Nespresso machines in the rooms since the last time I stayed which is great for coffee lovers. The beds are so comfortable! In general- great find!”

“I have been to quite a few different vets and I can say hands down that they have been the best to deal with. We have to purchase our cat's food from a vet and this clinic has been the only one who can keep on top of their stock and not make it a huge deal for us to need to purchase it from them! They are also helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate when our pet needs them. They also have amazing and accessible opening hours. It's so nice to be able to deal with a company who understand many people work 9-5 and simply can't make it during work hours. I highly recommend them!”

“Took great care of my cat. Informed me of everything that was wrong with him and they are reasonably priced. I really appreciated the advice to make sure he stays healthy”
