“Kia ora. I have known Tanya and worked her since my inception into Ponsonby Rugby in 2007. She has helped me to recover from 2 shoulder reconstructions and a knee reconstruction. I would promote her in the highest for anything regarding sports. As an ex pro League player in Australia 2003-2004 and ex dual NZ 19’s in both rugby and league”

“I have attended a painting class with Sue and I could not believe what I was able to do. I have painted the beach, the sand and mountain in the true setting of nature. I was able to relax and recharge my energy. It was like spiritual therapy. I recommend her classes to everyone, not just those who want to take up painting as a hobby.”

“Have been training in this krav maga club for 6 years now! Very useful and practical, realistic and highly applicable form of martial arts and self-defense system. The teaching curriculum is also very structured, organized and logical. The good fitness training that comes along is an excellent bonus. The gym, staffs and classes have a fun and welcoming atmosphere.”

“St Heliers Kipmcgrath has been a very welcoming place to come after school for us during the last couple of years. My son always feels happy to come here and get extra support. It almost matches the level of comfort he finds at home thanks to all the friendly tutors.”

“Great environment full of fun. Cigano is a great coach who withstands the values of BJJ. Discipline, respect to the colleagues, focus and resilience.”

“I'm Evelyn and I've had the utter delight and privilege of taking Levels One and Two with Juliet Furness this year, and I could not be more grateful. Her approach to teaching the art of acting is unique, insightful, surprising, playful and effective. The classes are more like master classes in what it means to be an authentic human being. I have felt empowered, invigorated and inspired by her classes. She makes everyone feel valued and included. She is enthusiastic, frank, generous and fully present with us. I felt quite bereft at the end of each term... missing my weekly fix of community, of risk taking, of growing as a human being and of feeling safe as well as challenged. I have signed up for Level Three now and I may well go back and do all three levels again next year. They each offer different gifts that complement each other, and some refreshingly different adjustments. Juliet's classes sneak up on you in the way they enhance your acting skills..... i am reminded of working with an Alexander technique body worker, who suggested that in my goal to achieve a straighter back and a more open ribcage I should forget about pulling my shoulders back and forcing myself into a more upright and military type posture because all this would achieve would be more muscular tension elsewhere. Instead she suggested i imagine a 'clavicle smile'.....simply imagining a friendly smile across my collar bone and this transformed my walk and my posture and Juliet achieves similar transformations that happen simply because one learns to get out of one's own way, allowing change to blossom naturally from within! So i think that summarises what Juliet's classes teach..... to trust one's own humanity. Rather than trying to impose some technique onto oneself.”

“I've been training with Ricardo at Black Knights for around 4 years now. Ricardo does an excellent job and caters to all skill levels from beginners to advanced. Ricardo does a great job of bringing good quality people into his gym making the classes both educational and enjoyable! Oss!”

Mokoia Road Dental Centre is a dental clinic offering orthodontic care. The team is known for friendly service and professional care. Clear explanations help patients feel at ease during their visits.

“Jess is a brilliant teacher, really patient and supportive. For any tough guys out there with bad backs I thoroughly recommend the men’s only mat class. My lower back problems have much improved since joining Active Core.”

“The best gym! Jono and the team always go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. There’s a brilliant range of classes and equipment, so there really is something for everyone. Even for those of us who aren’t overly passionate about working out and just want to stay in shape, you’re always made to feel comfortable, supported, and important.”

“e brought our baby here for his very first haircut, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! The barber was so gentle and patient, making sure our little one felt safe and comfortable the whole time. They even gave us a little keepsake of his hair in an envelope— such a sweet touch for a milestone moment! The place was clean and welcoming.Thank you so much for making his first haircut so special and memorable. Highly recommend this barbershop to any parents out there!”

“The instructors here are kind and professional. They explain the techniques in details and make the swimming learning more fun for kids. My daughter has started the swimming training here. She will continue her swimming practice here. Very happy to recommend the Aqua Artist Swim School to anyone who wants to learn how to swim well.”

“What an amazing and fun experience! Highly recommend it, all staff are very professional and they makes you feel comfortable. They welcomed me with a huge smile and then it was time for a very accurate briefing, I could also choose the flight path and flyzone. Once ready to leave is time for a complete a pre flight check and explanation; petrol, oil, air vent, tires… Experience at 360 degrees! The weather was a bit windy but my instructor did an outstanding job, once in the air I could take control of the plane and fly the plane myself, I was so excited to speak with control centre as they made us aware of other planes in the area and diverted our flight path accordingly. 10/10 experience!”

“A really wonderful independent cinema, that also have a dvd library with a huuuuge collection! Nice to browse before your film starts too. Definitely worth a visit if you are visiting Christchurch!”

“Awesome evening with my lovely wife attending Vivaldi's The Four Seasons by candlelight. Beautiful venue, great acoustics, polite staff. Thank you for a wonderful evening.”

“I emailed with a hopeful chance that they might accommodate a ride on Christmas day, and was thrilled that they could. Hannah and Kata greeted us and I produced us to our horses. My mother and I are experienced riders, but had never been on Icelandic horses before. We rode along a wetland with black swans, through beautiful pine forests, and along the ocean beach. They were impressive, easily moving through the trails and powerful through the sand. Kata and Hannah even taught us a new gait, the tolt, special to these incredible builds. The speed they could gain on the beach was exhilarating. Definitely not a horse just for kids. Would highly recommend this horse, this route, and this company!”

“Don’t miss the predator proof park! Amazing concept!!Ecological avant garde! Opens 9:30 or 10:00 am to 4:30 PM. Amazing vegetation, birds and superb cafeteria. Look for Mr T family ( Takahe)”
