Parks in New Zealand

“Has hot showers and free gas-fired barbecues, well maintained facilities for low pp cost per night. Beautiful native bush surroundings and stunning freshwater stream. Excellent walking trails nearby and superb NZ native forests to explore.”

“We did the 1 hour loop track in anti-clockwise direction. Its all beautiful, but the wasp populations are crazy in summer, so better be prepared with anti-histamine creams / sandfly repellants forehand. The ascend after the first stream is very steep and might be tough for beginners. There was mud almost everywhere, about 40% of the track. The waterfall here is not accessible, you can only see it from a top bridge.”

“A lovely elderly lady was at the cash counter Saturday morning, friendly and it’s refreshing to see a retail staff having friendly conversation and show passion for products. I am also very stoke to find unisex toddler winter tights and added bonus of them being 40% off!!! I would definitely come back.”

“Workers are helpful and friendly, stores tidy”

“I would highly recommend MJ Motors to anyone looking for servicing your vehicle. Recently we called in to book headlight bulb changed and clear the fog on the headlamps. We were able to get an appointment quickly and the service was amazing and got the car back same evening. The price range was very affordable - we were quoted ridiculous amounts by other providers. Very happy with the service and have decided to do our yearly car service with them moving forward”

A.T Barbershop is a hair salon offering cuts and styling and men's grooming. The team is known for friendly service. Appointments focus on achieving the look clients request.

“Awesome camp spot. Key points to remember: - Get there early. It can get very busy, very quickly - Parking. There are a lot of people who use this carpark as a day park for the hikes and rides in the area. And the carpark is not big. So keep calm, and keep trying. - There is no "fresh water source" as such. It's water from the river. - You cannot camp next to you car. You will need to carry your gear. ( It's not too far. But something to remember) - There are a LOT of little pockets of campsites. From the carpark you cannot see them all, so keep looking!”

“Very nice shop! Cheap price! There is a large lolly section which I love the most.”

“A Very caring and sharing school which is culturally sensitive and promotes nurturing of First Language, The Rangimarie Behaviour programme "supports out" those students who wish to push the boundaries in a whiole school approach”

“Great place, so easy to clip multiple kids on and trust they’re fine until the next wall. Dominique was phenomenal; so personable, helpful and knowledgeable.”

“I received wonderful customer service from Lucy and Claudia. They were so patient and did whatever they could to help me including ordering me my size once I found something I loved but it was out of stock. Amazing customer service, thank you both so much”

“Manawa bay general pants store: I wanted to write a good review for Amelia who served me today at Manawa Bay wanted to get x3 shirts exchanged and she had the best customer service! she was quick, super lovely and nice so sorry about the ripped receipt but she managed to find it, thank you so much Amelia will definitely be shopping there again!”

“The customer service is so lovely and I love chloe she helped me a lot with finding my style of pjs. The pyjamas are really soft and nice!”

“Starbucks Sylvia Park is always busy, queue is a winding road but service is always great. We went there for a takeaway, it never fails us. Back to this place for some sugar rush.”

“The staff were lovely & friendly and we all really enjoyed our burgers, fried chicken and fries today! Delicious!!”

“I stayed 2 nights whilst on a cycle trip and it was ideal for my needs. I had been a little concerned staying in the city alone but the owners made me feel safe and the camp has good policies around access etc. My non powered site was great with shade near facilities. Would certainly stay again”

“Thank you Duncan for the best in-store experience. Friendly service, beautiful selection in store to choose from.”

“Well stock and very clean, this branch’s Easter products has more variety and well priced compared to Kmart. Staff member Deepak was amazing, it is refreshing to see an employee who is passionate about his job, positive, friendly, patient and very helpful.”

“We showed up at closing due to broken boots at a football game and a tournament the next day. They were so gracious and generous. Keeping open late and helping us to find new boots. Thank you so much!”

“It was great the beach omg so pretty”

“Very good spot above the bustle of Sylvia Park. Wude selection to choose from - Malaysian and Western. High chair for tots available. Friendly and efficient service delivery. Will visit again.”

“Browsed through several shoe stores in the mall with no luck until I walked into Merchant. The lady there was very friendly and genuinely helpful with her advice (I wish I had gotten her name!) We had a very good experience and bought what I needed.”

“Coffee club is one of the best cafe chains. The preparation is awesome. The menu consists of mixture of vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. I particularly like the club sandwich which is a must have. The vegan ciabatta is also great. This time we tried french toast and it was good. The giant fluffy pancakes are awesome. I like the way they have planned the seating area both inside and outside. Outdoor seating offers some sunshine on a sunny day. The staff is courteous and understands your order fully. Our coffee was exactly how we wanted and at the time we wanted. There is plenty of parking available around the carpark. One of the best things is their cafe membership which offers 20% discount. It is well worth.”

“Excellent service. Excellent food quality. Everything here went above our expectations. Ribs, Chicken Buckets, Chicken & Waffles and Steak meals were all perfect! Outstanding jus with the steak.”

“Fabulous. Called to find 2 Soccer Ball quilts. The girls looked for them found two and let me know they would hold. Drove to Sylvia Park. The counter girls were expecting me. They brought them out and checked I was a Linen Lover. I got the sale price which was amazing. I was looked after professionally from start to finish. I find it is really worth being a Linen Lover. The sales are excellent.”

“Lovely flowers and very reasonable prices. My go to”

“Lovely place to stay, very central to everything you need. Owners are very accommodating.”

“Awesome motel to stay in, very spacious rooms, comfy big beds, great pressure in the shower. Right across the road from Hagley Park which was fabulous. Very good value for money and would happily stay again.”
