Parks in New Zealand

“Second time here after few months and Wayson remembers us by telling us how many people we were last time and where we were seated.His service is amazing the food is well priced and super yummy.We will be back and we highly recommend this place.”

“This is a wonderful place with a lovely ambiance, featuring a park filled with sculptures. The food and wine are amazing. We were warmly welcomed by Maori cultural performances, which was truly awesome.”

“Only place I was able to escape the kids even though the kids were with me lol Found me a pinball machine and owned every second of game time. I loved it, my kids loved it, my hubby loved it. Couldn't believe we had a great 1hr of kid fun. Had great special on for game credit, otherwise we'd never have spent money there.”

“Shout out to our planetarium guide at the 8:30 show last night (Wednesday Dec 3). Greeted us when we arrived. Shared his genuine enthusiasm for the stars and the mission of Space Place. The exhibits space is small/medium, but the quality was quite high and captures the teenagers with us (no small feat!) with the right level of engagement and knowledge share. You can easily spend a couple hours with the planetarium show. I live in Los Angeles and while Griffith Observatory is quite famous, the exhibit quality for kids, teens and adults is superior if you take the time to read the material and enjoy the video/interactive set ups.”

“The Maori Sidesteps were wonderful. Great music, great comedy and some important messages to top it off.”

“Well-maintain track with wide walkway. A little bit uphill but good for morning walk. We enjoy the voew of wellington city and also see the top of southern alps from the top of track. Make sure you bring enough water for walk! **thus track are join with red rock coastal walk, just walk down the hill approximately 5 km.”

“AMAZING dentist, I am from the UK so this was my first visit to a NZ dentist. I did visit a dentist across the road who was said to be cheaper and had a terrible experience. It was a relief to visit central dentist. My dentist knew exactly what he was doing and explained to me each step. I felt confident I was in the hands of a professional dentist. Amazing service and so happy to have no more pain. Thanks!”

“Great vegan indian meal in Wellington! The service was amazing and the lunch deal is just great value for money. I followed the advice of the waiter and ordered Kadai Soya and it was just amazing. The vegan roti could be improved but still tasty. There are some construction works outside but didn't really bother during the meal. Highly recommend it!”

“We had huge, delicious portions of pastas here. There’s a live pianist as well that created a lovely ambience as we enjoyed our meal.”

“Delicious dinner! Came in without reservation and sat at the bar. We ordered the arancini, mushroom ragu, gnocchis and pancetta pizza, everything was delicious, would definitely have it again. The atmosphere is vibey and the service is really nice.”

“Incredible service and delicious food! All of the staff (especially the woman on the front till) were incredibly energetic, attentive, smiley and friendly. The food here is absolutely phenomenal - in particular, the waffles. For $25, the waffles were a great portion size, presented beautifully and was overall a 10/10 meal. It was like a churro in waffle form - super soft and chewy but still very light with that classic exterior cinnamon sugar crusted crisp that churros have. The plum mascarpone toned down the sweetness, the strawberries were a great addition and the maple syrup was the cherry on top. As I mentioned, the size of the waffles was very generous, and we still managed to finish them all as they were so fluffy and not dense whatsoever. The granola was really delicious and not like many others available in Wellington. Whilst also being presented beautifully, the house-made granola was abundant with chewy oats, sliced nuts, seeds and coconut, and was definitely binded with maple syrup which made it very soft, unlike typical granolas that are crunchy. I really liked this though - definitely one of the best granolas I have ever had. The sweetness was toned down by the greek yoghurt paired nicely with a berry jam, diced nectarine, sliced pear and maple syrup. They also offered milk on a side which was lovely. I did provide feedback to the waitstaff regarding the granola being a very minuscule portion which they very swiftly relayed to the chefs. The staff were very considerate and understanding, and ensured that I left satisfied. Overall, I really enjoyed my time at Egmont St. Eatery and I would highly recommend that everyone tries their waffles. They were potentially the best waffles I have ever consumed in my life. I did find the cafe itself a little bit loud due to the music volume and conversing patrons, but that is more just of a personal preference. Awesome work team. I was very blown away with the hospitality you provided. Keep it up!”

“Great place for a drink on a sunny afternoon in Wellington. Friendly staff, good ambiance, good music. Choose up or downstairs they even have a balcony. Makes you feel a bit like being in London with a touch of sunshine and clean air.”

“Excellent walking trail in Hutt region. We took Fire break. O boy, it was steep one and for sure it test your fitness. When you reach the top, that's the reward "breathtaking" view. Walking down is another challenge. Need a good shoe grip and we need to be careful as it is steep with loose rock.”

“Looked after our school group really well. They were awesome, very professional and fun, and the kids (and staff who joined in) loved it. Would definitely come back.”

“Beautiful works in a beautiful building. Even the drain pipes are beautiful.”

“Loved heading there today on a drizzly day following a three day tramp at Island Hills Station. Great variety of pools of different temperatures, and although extremely busy, there was plenty of space for everyone. Pretty expensive entry prices, so have to go for a whole day if taking the family. Discounted entry price for AA members.”

“Good place for scenic views over Christchurch. There's a beautiful building which houses a cafe at the end of the walk. Toilet facilities are available. Plenty of street parking is also available. Google will most likely say "you have arrived" right in the middle of nowhere. You will see steps that you can take to reach the viewpoint (5 minutes), alternatively, you can keep driving a bit further until you see the entrance to the track.”

“The staff and food were amazing, with a beautiful garden setting. They accommodated 24 of us at short notice and nothing was a problem. I would highly recommend for breakfast or lunch.”

“A magical place! I climb up carrying my toddler in my hiking carrier. There are quite a few steps but it's not difficult. Hour round trip with a snack and a break to soak in the 360 view up the top. Well worth it. 30 mins drive from central Hamilton. Will return again soon ❤️”

“An absolute must for any one age ethnicity. Absolutely loved it. Felt sorry for grandpa who left because he didn't understand how it works. Might pay to have a person who welcomes you.”

“Power camp site. Great location. Cycle, walk enjoy the open green space. Cafe”

“Lovely farm which is well maintained, animals are all very healthy, friendly staff, overall very good experience and would recommend to all ages ☺️☺️”

“A great place to visit. This time round went to the 'A Century of Modern Art'. This was exhibition did cost. Other areas are free for you to wonder. Highly recommend. The gift shop has great gifts. There is also a cafe available. Pictures of the exhibition and other parts of the gallery.”

“Such an awesome spot to check out! The bridge has amazing views over the gorge and the Waikato River definitely worth the stop if you’re in the area. It’s a bit of a hidden gem and not too crowded, which makes it even better. The walk across can be a little wobbly but that just adds to the fun. There’s also a nice short track nearby and a café close by for a coffee after. Great place for photos and a bit of adventure!”

“Best place to eat with a good atmosphere.”

“Incredible place to have dinner! Nice view, attentive staff and superb food. Highly recommended”

“Absolutely fantastic restaurant! We've dined here a few times and the staff have always been very attentive, friendly and accommodating. The set menus come with a good variety of starters and mains, and everyone loved what was offered. The restaurant is also split into three dinning areas, so you have a choice of sitting outside or in a more cosy booth. Very popular restaurant, so strongly recommend booking ahead to secure a table.”

“Salt Mango Tree is well worth a visit if you want honest, flavourful Kerala food in Hamilton. Whether it’s for a family dinner and friends , trying something new, or just some soul-food cravings, it ticks almost every box. Highly recommended.”

“Had an amazing experience with Blasta Cars. The team was friendly, helpful, and made everything smooth from start to finish. The vehicle was in great condition and the overall service was genuinely professional. Highly recommend them for a hassle-free, positive experience!”

Plus Ninetyone cafe favours a coffee‑and‑cabinet mix with clear, clean flavours. Cabinet bakes and slices cover a quick stop. Service stays present without fuss. Serve sizes show solid value. Value fe...
