Parks in New Zealand

“Nice place to camp, really chill and relaxing. There are toilets, water and shelter. Huge space to put your tent and/or park. You can also find some walks around the place and you'll see a number in case you want to rent a kayak to explore the lake.”

“Logan was very good at leading the tour and the whole thing was just very impressive and made me really proud to be a kiwi. We really have some amazing people in this little country or ours”

“Super helpful for car touch up paint. Staff were super friendly! Give them a call”

“I had an awesome experience here. Receptionist was lovely, and the Dr was really good. He didn't dismiss what I had to say and treated me with respect. He was really helpful, gave all the referrals required and instructed me on next steps. Thank you Dr Harshad Patel. I highly recommend this branch.”

“Great for bikes and scooters. Basically a large West Auckland park that runs alongside Henderson and a creek. Ends up at the cycleway into town CBD alongside the Norwestern Motorway (in between Lincoln and Te Atatū South on-ramps). Fun walk/ ride. Interesting trees in the international garden area!”

“We booked the community room for our Xmas function. It was a bit warm without any air conditioner but apart from that it was a great location and will definitely go there again. Next time we will bring fans.”

“Just wanted to say a big thank you to the staff this evening! I had a refund request, and even though there was some uncertainty at first, everyone really went the extra mile to make sure everything was handled properly and in line with the policy. Special shout out to Kayla for helping me out—really appreciate the great customer service! Thanks again, much appreciated!”

“Amazing park. Love to take the dog here. Carpark near the men's shed has a hose to wash off the dog after playing in the ponds.”

“Beautiful place and great weekend spot out with friends and family.”

“Blockhouse Bay Beach Reserve, located in Auckland's Blockhouse Bay suburb, is a charming spot offering a blend of natural beauty and recreational amenities. The reserve features a small beach with soft sand, making it suitable for swimming, picnicking, and leisurely walks along the shore. Families will appreciate the well-maintained playground, providing a safe and enjoyable area for children. The surrounding greenery, complete with picnic tables and benches, offers a serene environment for relaxation. Facilities such as public toilets and outdoor showers are available for visitor convenience. However, parking can be limited during peak times, so arriving early is advisable. While the beach is relatively modest in size, its tranquil atmosphere and scenic views make it a delightful destination for both locals and tourists seeking a peaceful retreat.”

“Enclosed playground so you can relax a little while the kids play. Plenty of picnic tables, and play equipment for all ages 1-11y.o approx”

“A peaceful oasis right on the waterfront! Scenic walking paths, native birdlife, and sweeping ocean views make it perfect for a relaxed stroll. The grassy areas are ideal for picnics, and the playground is great if you’re bringing kids. Highly recommend!”

“Great running/walking track which connects Lake Rua through to the Groynes. Reasonably well maintained and a couple of off shoots.”

“Fabulous location for a quiet walk or to run the dog or perhaps have a picnic, plenty of space coupled with a lil wildlife and scenic views all inside a residential neighborhood.”

“Stonefield Wetlands Park is a great place to visit for a relaxing day in nature. It is a perfect place to go for a walk, have a picnic, or do some birdwatching. The park is also a great place for families with children. Here is a summary of the pros and cons of Stonefield Wetlands Park: Pros: Beautiful natural scenery Wide variety of wildlife Well-maintained walking trail Playground, picnic area, and barbecue area Popular spot for fishing Cons: Small park Can be crowded on weekends. Overall, I highly recommend Stonefield Wetlands Park to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable day in nature.”

“Lake Panorama is a truly wonderful place to visit. Perfect for young kids and even not so young kids. As you walk around the lake you will see a number of "hidden" secrets. Young and old definitely won't be bored. There are lots of ducks and other wildlife, plus the lake is absolutely stunning. I highly recommend this place.”

“Great fields and facilities. Only know it through my daughter's early morning football practice but everything seems top notch.”

“Quiet safe park awesome field has a little park but it's still okay great for dinner and lunch playdate w6the kids I wouldn't swim here but kids love to get dirty and explore the rocks shells”

“A beautiful walk with my Border collie he meets the love of his life another female border Collie. We spend 45 minutes having a fab time in a safe environment”

“Just brought two second hand tyres from Surpreme Auto Parts. Ill be getting my tyres here from now on. They do it while you wait. And the price is the best i could find in the hutt. Great service.”

“Beautiful place especially on a calm warm summers night. Love it”

“Nice track and beautiful waterfall. Watch out for mozzies and sandflies in summer. Be sure to go with people as you’ll want someone to open and close the gates for you as you pass through the farms. I’d recommend taking a 4wd to cross the rivers along the way.”

“Kids friendly and very good place for trail running or walking.”

“Sealed road all the way to the campsite. Stunning place to relax along the Mohaka River. We stayed one night and woke up to amazing birdsong in the morning. The sound of water at night is peaceful too. Would definitely recommend if you're wanting a place to stay between Napier and Taupo.”

“Great short walk to waterfalls and really nice for a family outing. 20 mins walk to Te Ana Falls. Water is cold but It’s refreshing after hot summer walk. There’s another waterfall further up about 15 mins walk but be mindful that it’s only a look out and some of the track are about 500mm - 600mm you need to be extra careful especially when the ground is wet could be a little slippery.”

“Nice place I Live in Hastings but do travel through quite often”

“If you get the chance to visit, it is well worth it. The vegetarian roast was so good! Everything was cooked to perfection and the presentation on the desserts was really great! The staff were really friendly and the service was fast! The decor was beautiful too!”
