“Amazing cafe! The decor is cozy yet stylish, making it a perfect spot for catching up with friends. The coffee is exceptional—smooth, rich, and brewed to perfection. The food menu is equally impressive, offering a great variety of fresh, flavorful dishes and tastes incredible. Also friendly and attentive staff passionate about making your experience special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great cup of coffee and a delightful experience!”

“Chris is committed to looking after our teeth. And is honest as the sun rises each day! Its not always what I want to hear. But I follow his advice. And he takes care of the rest. And I have seen the results. I thought sensitive gums was something I had. But after a couple years with Chris, my gums are not anywhere near as sensitive. Brilliant!”

“Pak’nSave Westgate is a newer and tidier branch that still sticks to the chain’s signature no-frills vibe. It’s built for budget shoppers, but it feels a bit more modern compared to some of the older locations. If you’re in the West Auckland area, it’s one of the better options when it comes to balancing affordability with a clean, roomy shopping experience. The store is spacious, well laid out, and usually well-stocked. Aisles are wide, which helps with the flow of foot traffic even during peak hours. It’s still a very practical setup — shelves packed high, lots of bulk products, and nothing fancy in terms of presentation — but everything’s easy to find. Prices are, as always with Pak’nSave, the main draw. You can save quite a bit here, especially on pantry staples, meat, and cleaning products. The produce section is usually decent, with a good range of fruit and veg, though the freshness can still vary day to day. The meat section offers plenty of variety at a decent price point, and the bakery’s got all the basics — bread, rolls, and the usual treats. Staff are generally helpful if you approach them, though it’s still a self-service kind of environment. Don’t expect heaps of interaction, but they’ll assist you if you ask. The checkout area is usually well-staffed, and self-service options are available for smaller shops. Queues move fairly quickly even when it’s busy. Parking is pretty good at Westgate. There’s plenty of space, and it’s easy to get in and out of the carpark compared to other branches. Being part of a large shopping complex also means you can tick off other errands while you’re in the area. Just like other Pak’nSaves, you might find some differences between what’s online and what’s actually in store, so it’s best to shop with a bit of flexibility. Overall, Pak’nSave Westgate is a strong performer. It’s clean, spacious, and reliable for those who want to get a big shop done without overspending. It’s still a no-frills setup, but it feels a little more polished than the older branches, which makes for a smoother experience all round.”

“I popped into the Albany Liquorland store last week to buy a non-alcoholic Aperol drink I had been unable to source anywhere else. Apparently very popular at the moment. I was served by Jordayne and she was FANTASTIC. There were supposed to be three bottles put aside for me, but there was a mix up and only one was available. I had driven all the way from Gulf Harbour, so was a tad disappointed. Jordayne quickly went about and ordered what I wanted from another Liquorland Store and in her own time personally delivered them to me at my home (a good 40 minute drive from the store) a couple of days later. That is what I call great service, going above and beyond. Not much of it about these days sadly. Thank you Jordayne. You are a gem and I wish you well. Kind regards Sue Evans.”

“Everything you need great customer service”

“Farro has the freshest and best quality veges, and at times it's cheaper than the supermarket. They stock many specialist products like duck and steamed buns..... The wine selection is very good, and I prefer their rose selection to supermarkets. The store has a farmers market, community feel. They offer fresh rolls, salads and coffee. I only buy deli meats from here as the quality is better than supermarket brands. Staff are friendly and helpful.”

“We celebrated our son’s third birthday here yesterday and it was the perfect venue for it. Helpful and attentive staff, wonderful food, and an open and inviting atmosphere for the children to play. A very family friendly place. Thank you Whoa! Studios ✨”

“I visited the store today around 5pm; service was incredibly good! The woman and the guy who helped me were so friendly and helpful, they supported me with what I was looking for! My experience today was very positive thanks to those staff! Thank you!”

“Nice little beach, not many people around, plenty of parking”

“Good safe park to take my kids. Had a playground and nice toilets with a walking track around the field too.”

“The stadium is small but creates a top atmosphere- staff were very friendly nd the food was good- what’s not to like here. Parking as easy as well and the others had a good time- perfect for a family night out.”

“Excellent. Authentic and generous portions. Great service despite the limited staff.”

“Fantastic restaurant you must try if you want to enjoy some authentic Northern Chinese cuisine. The staff are super friendly and the tastes are amazing. Highly recommended if you are in Auckland.”

“Had an unpleasant experience at another bar with my group of mates, so we migrated here. What a difference! Pool tables, rugby on, great food to fill up on and the service was excellent! Alyssa was so friendly and helpful, thanks for rescuing our night!”

“We were looking for a Thai close to where we are, and we found this place. The food was very nice, authentic, flavourful, and fresh. They have a comprehensive selection of traditional Thai food. The atmosphere was good and the service friendly.”

“We’ve been coming to this restaurant with our family for over 23 years, and it has never disappointed. The food is always delicious, consistent, and full of flavour, and the service is warm every single time.”

“The service was great, a little bit hard to understand the specials, but our waitress was pleasant and gave me some recommendations. The food was delicious and a good portion, price was average to good. I would definitely go back to try more from the menu.”

“Very well presented Thai food, always delicious.”

“The Collins is a local fave on the Shore!! Their food is always delicious, coffee is brewed to perfection, and the customer service is always friendly and fast. I definitely recommend coming here for coffee and/or brunch, plenty of seating options both indoor and outdoor too.”

“Xi Ann Food Bar is a cozy, small shop that punches well above its weight. They make their own noodles from scratch, which truly elevates the dish. We highly recommend trying their cumin lamb noodles—they’re delicious, packed with flavor, and the portions are huge, easily enough to share between two people. The unique, fresh quality of the homemade noodles and the well-balanced seasoning make for a memorable dining experience. One noodle cost about 15$.”

“One of the best dining experience. Food was delicious and the ambience of the place gave me the Christmas feeling well. Sure I will visit this place once again with my family. Thank you for all the people who served us in Circus Circus. Cheers.”

“We to after quite a number of years. Good memories. Loved it will go again”

“This was the first time i have been here. I had the green curry and pad thai, it was absolutely delicious , both full of flavour and lots of chicken.

“Super delicious sweets, the lemon cheese cake is awesome like everything. The taste is incredible, coffee has a great strong taste. I love the shop. Staff is very friendly”

“Hidden jewel if you love action sports or being active when Wellington weather is acting up”

“It has a few different pools for different functions, national games are usually held in the large pool including water polo, kayak polo and so on. They also offer swim classes for kids and adults. There's a sauna and spa too. The baby pool is separated from the toddler and kids pool. Ample carpark at the back with a smaller carpark at the front entrance. It is located right next to the library.”

“Absolutely flawless, perfect 5 stars! Despite arriving quite late, around 8 pm, I was greeted warmly by the staff, all with genuine smiles. The restaurant's atmosphere was cozy and spotlessly clean, with plenty of seating available. The menu was impressively extensive, and the staff graciously guided me through the options with clear explanations. Opting for (Hainanese) chicken rice, I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived promptly in just 5 minutes. The presentation was stunning, and the taste surpassed all expectations. The chicken was juicy and bursting with flavour, complemented perfectly by the fresh and crispy fried onions, freshest sliced cucumber and the subtly tangy soy-based sauce. The homemade chili sauce was also very authentic and a delightful touch. The accompanying chicken soup was also delicious and showcased the freshness and quality of the ingredients. At $22, the meal was not only delicious but also amazingly good value. Both the attentive waitstaff and the friendly chef made me feel incredibly welcome, leaving me eager to return. With so many enticing dishes left to try, I'm already looking forward to my next visit.”

“We had a really beautiful lunch at the Japanese restaurant upstairs here. The food was beautifully presented and the flavours were exquisite - and super fresh! The menu has a good range and the staff were very friendly. The set meals are quite generous. Go hungry or share, which is what we did. 5 stars.”
