“The best vet clinic ever! As a first-time puppy owner, I’ve had so many questions, and Deborah has been absolutely amazing. She takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, never rushes, and answers all my questions with so much patience and care. The entire team is wonderful—Ellie actually enjoys going to the vet and happily greets every nurse there! Their email communication is also excellent. Nastassja been really helpful with email queries. Highly recommend!”

“The St Lukes vets are such a professional and caring clinic - I am very happy to have chosen them for our dogs. We have unfortunately had to put a dog down there and they were super caring, talked through my options and helped make the awful process as kind and humane as possible - all the while I kept blubbering. They have seen our animals on very short notice when we thought they were in pain and even rung us to move appointments up when they thought the issue should be addressed sooner. They have rung to see how the dogs are the day after care and been super friendly, kind and professional. Highly recommend”

“We have been using Pet Doctors Howick for a number of years.Our cat Eddie is a bit of street fighter and has always been fixed up by the team with lots of care and attention. A cheerful and very patient bunch of people.”

“The PetVet team were excellent and helpful when my cat was unwell and could not get her in anywhere over the long weekend. The Vet Nurse on the phone helped chat me through the issue and provided me with excellent advice until I could get in with a vet. Dr Amos Manktelow, the vet we saw was fantastic, he was very kind and friendly and great with my shy cat. Thanks team!”

“Very friendly, helpful and informative. Great service for ourselves and our puppy.”

“This place has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owners are terrific. The rooms are a little dated but I didn’t mind. It’s affordable, clean, and comfortable. I would stay here again.”

“Excellent location near many central attractions, nice rooms and good value breakfast. We had room 1, which is quite spacious, large bathroom and shower, all wheelchair accessible.”

“The vet, nurses and staff were amazing. They were so gentle and the communication was amazing. Thank you team for looking after my boy (Border Collie).”

“Hubby and I popped in for dinner and ordered the tandoori chicken, mango chicken curry, lamb coconut curry and naan bread. All three dishes were very delicious. Will definitely come back and highly recommend to others. Service was top notch too. Cheers”

“10 minute walk to town centre. Views of the lake. Really roomy 2 bedroom apartment with super comfy additional pull down bed in the lounge. There were bikes to use for free as well as tennis rackets for the court for free use and really friendly welcome and staff. The heated pool was great even in the middle of winter and nice spa with lake view. We were really happy with the resort.”

“Had the pleasure of staying here last week. From the initial phone call to book a room to leaving, the customer service was amazing. It was so nice to arrive and the heater was on in the room. Delightful shower, clean and welcoming room. Would definitely stay here again. Cheers”

“Modern and very well maintained motel. Excellent service and a friendly, very helpful staff. Short walk to town and restaurants. Off street parking. Very comfortable bed, good water pressure and good facilities. Highly recommended and no hesitation to stay again.”

“I wish we had a bakery like this closer to home. Lots of choices, whether you are after sweet or savoury. It was hard to make a decision. The coffee is good too. If ever back in the area, will definitely make this a necessary stop”

Orbit Cafe favours a coffee-and-cabinet line-up with clear, tidy flavours. Breakfast plates are tidy and satisfying. Team members keep things friendly and on task. Orders move at a steady clip. Servic...

“Great location right in central Havelock North, making it super easy to explore the area - shops, cafes, and restaurants were just a short walk away. Loved the free gym access, also conveniently close. The stay was overall enjoyable with nice amenities and helpful staff. The only downsides were a bathroom light that annoyingly switched off every 2 minutes and a barely noticeable tapping noise from the wall. Still, the room was dark and cozy, perfect for a good night’s sleep. Definitely a good pick for anyone visiting the area!”

“Wonderful caring staff,very easy to find and great knowing that mother and kittens will be looked after and found new homes.”

“Great accommodation, very comfortable beds and very clean and comfortable. Staff is absolutely amazing and very welcoming. Highly recommend this accommodation, easy parking and right in the city”

“Such amazing service and so accommodating, went above and beyond with our bookings with so many changes. Nothing was ever a problem! Highly recommended ++”

“The most beautiful view from the room we stayed in. Our room is at the corner of the lodge, so we can see the best view of the Otago Peninsula. Sadly, the deck that wrapped around our room in an L shape looked pretty old and needed urgent TLC. The room includes breakfast, which is set up in the old stables. The breakfast is very good and the stables really set the vibe for the day.”

“It’s great customer service, very helpful staff. Thanks so much for your help this morning.”

“Quiet, despite being on the main road. Enjoyed walking the owners dog. We were there to witness a court case from the public gallery. We didn't know how long we would be there. The owners were flexible about the number of nights that we needed to stay. They would have allowed us to bring our cockatiel if we hadn't find a carer for him.”

The kitchen at Bacchus Wine Bar & Restaurant takes a classic fish-and-chips path and lets the food speak. Outdoors works well when the weather plays along. Blue cod and other fillets arrive fresh with light batter. Team members keep things friendly and on task.

“Highly recommended!! Hired this hall for a first birthday in the weekend and it was such a beautiful venue. Easy to hire, communication was quick and very efficient. Very easy to find if you are using the google maps. We hired the main hall and small meeting room next to the kitchen and the kitchen we also added the Full stage and AV package. We were given a video with instructions on how to use the Full AV and it was very informative and very easy to follow. For someone who don’t know anything about AVs, we had no problem at all and everything worked out well. Very happy!! Photos below…”

“We had booked the beautiful Lavender Hill in October 2024 for our wedding accomodation. The first night I stayed with my bridal party, it was perfect as there was a room for everyone, we were able to relax and unwind, and had access to a kitchen and everything we needed, the detail that Trish thought of was perfect. We then were able to use it as a spot to get our bridal party photos taken on our wedding day, which was perfect, as it was only 5 minutes from our wedding venue. Cannot recommend Lavender Hill enough, it was great.”

“Amazing hostel! The staff were incredible especially Diego, he recommended us walks and was very helpful during our stay. The hostel is right next to the beach and a bus stop so it’s easy to get around the island. Just a really nice vibe place!”

“When we first adopted our dachshunds over a decade ago a friend suggested we look up the Vets on Manukau Road, and I've never looked back. When our fur babies crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago, Russell and his team were there to help us through it and even took time on the weekend to ensure that our Rindy had a gentle passing. They are the best vet team ever!”
