Parks in New Zealand

“Excellent customer service. The Asian lady there is one of the most helpful person I know in retail. So great especially for first time parents :) thank you.”

“Stock South African liquor. Best price in town”

“Cozy place with a lot of activities going on, in a good location beside the mall, the library, shop, and cafés. Variety of room and venue sizes to hire for a reasonable price. Good for birthdays, classes, community meetings, weddings, and offices. The team is very responsive, helpful, and friendly”

“We had the best family holiday break staying in the motel units at Orua bay, despite the weather. The lovely hosts made us so welcome and catered to our every need. The extended family especially enjoyed family games of cricket on the lawn when the weather cleared, the setting was amazing and well worth the drive out. Thankyou so much for making this a wonderful family weekend away.”

“Just love this bush walk. The longest track is 2h45m- Gibbons. Much of the bush is the same but I'd say it's well worth the walk. The caves track is not too far. Perhaps in 20 mints ,it can be completed. The end of this walk is met by 4 caves, the last of which is huge.”

“We'd been dreaming of lava tunnels for years, so were so happy to get this under our belts. In fact, Rangitoto island could have easily kept us busy for two days, rather than the one we spent here. We didn't even have time to walk across to Motutapu island. Look, it is an old volcano, and you can see the bit that the lava came bursting out of just a few hundred years ago on google maps. Visit the summit, it's an ancient treasure; full of trees now but previously a fiery mouth, spewing molten rock at a temperature of 1500 C. I think it's amazing that this was going on while Salisbury Cathedral was being erected on the other side of the world. It is all well-signed, but from the wharf, take the summit track and then a brief diversion three-quarters of the way up. Bit of a scramble in and through, but it's well worth it; a mobile phone torch is all you need. Remember to look at the walls and appreciate the fact that just a few hundred years ago, searing basalt flows were gurgling through this very tunnel....... In geological time, that ain't very long ago... As an aside, study some geology; it is amazing. Especially if you are a bit religious and think the planet was only created 6,000 years ago and looks like it does now because of a big flood and that Emperor penguins swam all the way across the equator to the Levant to get on a big wooden boat. You definitely need a bit of education if you believe that.”

“The park has open grassed fields good for playing Rugby. And trees along the Road side, and is a short walk from the Ellerslie shops and train station. A small playground, car park, tennis courts, toilets, sports fields, and seating are inside the park and a Public toilet.”

“This was a location suggestion, I took the photos ages ago with my family, I'm not too sure where it is, but I do know that it was a real cool place. I also remember a prison near the place.”

“First time at Sushi-Ya and have to say this is the best sushi I have had in a long time! Incredibly fresh, and the pieces are huge and loaded with fillings! Great value for money.”

“If you're looking for the best local Italian restaurant, this is it! The atmosphere has an authentic old-school vibe that feels warm and welcoming. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making the entire dining experience enjoyable from start to finish. The food is outstanding – from traditional pasta dishes to hearty mains, everything is cooked to perfection. And the pizzas? Simply amazing! Perfectly crispy crust, fresh toppings, and just the right amount of cheese. Whether you're out for a casual meal or celebrating a special occasion, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Italian flavors!”

“We’ve been coming to this sushi shop for several weeks in a row. It’s tasty and good value, and the chicken comes in whole pieces, not shredded chicken.”

“My husband and I ate our late lunch here. I ordered Salmon and Capers Pasta, and it was soooooo good! It was creamy and I love how it balances with the capers My husband ordered Spaghetti Carbonara and it was so delicious as well! Will definitely try their pizza next time.”

“I will let the photo do the talk! ❤️ The presentation is stunning! The taste is irresistible! We love the food here, and we can be difficult customers when it come to hunting good food! They are well deserve the compliment!”

“We came for the cheap prices but would return for the food and coffee! Wasn't expecting much but our Eggs Benedict's were very decent homely fare and the coffee was excellent! It's signage is hidden behind scaffolding at the moment so be sure to look for it even if you can't see the sign! They deserve the business :)”

“Love coming here when I work in Wellington! Friendly staff and great service! Also a nice atmosphere and space, really peaceful if you want to get off the busy streets in the city. Coffee is lovely too!”

“Moved to Ngaio a few months ago and have been in here a few times - HOW ABSOLUTELY LOVELY ARE THEY?! ALL OF THEM!!! A genuine, effortlessly friendly and welcoming vibe and I see them treat ALL their customers this way. They’ve taken the time to build relationships with their customers where they can have conversations about what they’ve been up to - it’s awesome! I believe interactions like this are the true definition of what community is and it’s such a rarity these days so we must call it out! celebrate it! Just letting you know, I really appreciate it!!!”

We love the vegetarian wontons too. There is always a lovely man on the phone when you confirm your online order. Portion sizes are excellent too.”
