Park in New Zealand

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We family of 4 people went to buy vehicle from Taupō to Hamilton and we decided to break for lunch. We read such fabulous 5-star reviews that we thought we would try the Welcome Indian Takeaway Restaurant — and it did not fail us at all! The food was just amazing. For having traveled so far, each of the meals that we had ordered was just full of real flavor — in all seriousness, it was some of the finest Indian food we'd ever had in our whole lives. Nicely prepared, beautifully spiced, totally unforgettable and price is so reasonable which anyone can effort compare to others restaurants. The food was equally impressive. The staff were welcoming, polite. Special mention to Bikash for excellent hospitality service — he made us feel so welcome and proved his excellent hospitality service. If you are in Hamilton or even just passing through, this is an absolute must-visit destination. You will understand why so many people give it 5 out of 5 stars after you have experienced it yourself. We will return, again and again! Krishna Sharma”

“Easy walking for all ages. Serene and bird song indicates it's not poisoned. A half hour or one hour loop. You will want to take some photos. Its beautiful. Plus the stream across the road. Sit in the rocks and put your feet in the water. Enjoy the picnic table areas. Come along a few doors further for an incredible massage with Donna at Master Life . A complete wellbeing experience here in nature rich whakamarama. Only 10 mins drive from omokoroa/and 6 mins from the main road”

At Golden Rice Thai Cuisine, the menu stays Japanese‑leaning with tidy execution. There’s always a considered veg choice. Front‑of‑house runs with calm, helpful energy. Sushi and hot dishes come out clean‑flavoured and precise.

Kebab Istanblue in Mount Maunganui specialises in Turkish kebabs and rice plates with vegetarian options and desserts. Orders are available for dine‑in, pickup or delivery through local platforms.

“One of our favourite places to go in Napier! My 3 year old loves walking by the beach, even more playing with the different playgrounds on site and of course the ice cream near by!”

“Beautiful place. If you are here only for an afternoon or you have a SC vehicle it is a good spot. It is just few metres from the beach, there are picnic tables to use, serviced toilets, outdoor shower, dump station and running watter as well as a sink for washing up (cold water only though). There are 10 spots for the camping in ur car and they do fill up in quick after 3 pm. Beautiful sunrise. Good for dipping in the sea but beware of currents.”

“My wife our daughter and her family have stayed in a holiday home there for the past two years and plan to do so next year. We love the beach. Lovely sand, great for children and dogs to play. We saw many dogs and horses up and down the beach. There are cliffs at the southern end where houses have a wonderful sea view. As we walked down that way we saw that there were " islands" there. Soft smooth sand and fantastic rocks to explore. The rock formations are splended, well worth the visit. The chilren and pet dog loved climbing over the rocks and cliffs.”

“It's such a beautiful walk views are amazing must do walk”

“A really fun thing to do. And this is coming from a girl who is by no means a beer fanatic. Thomas was a great tour guide, incredibly knowledgable and very passionate. Good sense of humour too. Really cool to do a truly South Island experience, delicious beer tasting at the end, plus the gift shop does actually have quite cool stuff! Thanks for a fun arvo team :)”

“I walk there in November, the smell of the sea mixed with the blooming flowers was amazing. Simple wild beach, loved it .”

“What a selection of beer! If you are in Dunedin and missing the UK reminds you of home. So many choices and a very friendly owner passionate about what he does…..good job I don’t live here be in daily.”

“Fantastic views South to Dunedin, and north up the coast, and inland to the remaining peaks. Apparently very few people make their way up here, perhaps because a lot of students don't have cars, but the view really is worth the short trip up the hill, as long as the weather is good.”

At Krishna Indian Restaurant and Takeaways, the menu stays classic fish-and-chips, served with an easygoing pace. A coastal backdrop rounds out the stop. Stir-fries keep good heat and snap. Vegetarian picks read as complete plates.

“Very fun and versatile playground in large size. Flying fox, huge rope swing, mini trampoline, gym equips, rope climbing, sand pitch, kids water pumps and lake view etc. Always spend lots time after Costco visits - only thing is quite windy mostly”

“Clean tidy and well organized, store and more inside.”

“Hands down our favourite local takeaways. The quality of food is brilliant (burgers are my favourite) and the staff are lovely. They are really busy on Fridays at peak times (because it’s so good) but staff are always super friendly and helpful. We make sure to order around 5pm on a Friday for shorter wait times. We’d prefer to enjoy dinner from an owner-operator place like PL rather than a chain restaurant any day!”

“Love Bambini. I discovered it during Covid lockdown and I have ordered a few times online and never been disappointed. Ordered a couple of items yesterday from Auckland and they arrived today! Great service and product lines. Thank you :)”

“I recently visited Extra Extracafe and was genuinely impressed. The coffee was rich and flavorful, brewed to perfection, and the food was equally delightful—fresh, well-prepared, and full of taste. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff made the experience even better with their friendly and attentive service. A great spot for both a quick coffee break and a relaxed meal. Highly recommended!”

“Lovely place for date night !! We did the "first table" deal and worked great for us. We tried quite a few items of the menu and had great savings. I would absolutely recommend the fish crudo, the Rib eye and the truffle gnocchi. I know is a meat restaurant, but let me say the gnocchi was one of the best I've had; the onion soubise was espectacular, airy and tasty. In general the sides were ok, Caesar salad was good AND the puré as well, would probably not order the mushrooms again. Desserts were good, specially the tiramisú. Would've appreciated a chocolate option as well... The service by the two french ladies was perfect! Attentive and professional. Would recommend !”

“With all the over-cluttered trimmings and loud bargaining customers of an entrepreneurial Greek Trader’s, A Taste of Greece comes with the authenticity of a loving Greek mother that will tell you to indulge in the lemon cream Bougatsa pastry. Though a little space, A Taste of Greece offers every facet of the Greek experience you could want, from over-stuffed shelves filled with olive oils by the litre, sardines, fine salts, and classic Hellenic confectionery to cabinet food offering five types of feta, the biggest baklava slices you’ve seen, and savoury delicacies you wish your own mother could cook. Stay in for the Greek Burger or Halloumi Salad, both are very reasonably priced and simply delivered. A good takeaway menu means you don’t have to contend for one of the five little tables, though be aware that this place serves Greek souvlaki, not the mis-labelled souvlaki Christchurch residents are so adamant about. Go here to feel all the warmth of a big Greek family, and enjoy the moments between delicious bites where you ponder buying an ornament Greek Orthodox cross or quoting My Big Fat Greek Wedding.”

“I was very happily received. The veggie samosas are incredible. The curry as well. I will definitely come back. Pricing is more than reasonable for how yummy it is.”

“You look fore something special, this place is special. The location inside the Beehive is superb. The flair is just delightful, and then there is the food. The set menu was very, very nice. The flavors superb, the freshness and the combination of textures first class. This place is a notch better than the Logan Brown where it belongs to. And I do not know if I have found a better place in New Zealand so far. I will come back, for sure.”

“Such a long trail and have to climb up the mountain to reach the upper lighthouse of pencarrow. Lots of awesome trails with views of the beach, mountains and green landscape. Biking is the most recommended option so as to cover a lot of stuff around and enjoy all the views from the top.”

“Great experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend at all. This is the place to go!!! Many thanks!!!”

“Beautiful place to go for a walk. Not a simpe walk but the views are all worth it.”

“Our dog Winston can’t wait to go to PAWS every week, he loves seeing the staff and his dog friends. We can’t speak more highly of our experience at PAWS.”
