Sport & School & Kindergarten in New Zealand

“Two years ago I signed up for So Inspired Fitness' 10 week beachcamp challenge. I was only going to do 10 weeks. I hadn't done much exercise in 10 years and the lock down snacking had made my clothes not fit too well. It been two years and beachcamp is part of my life now. My level of fitness and strength have increased dramatically. I am the healthiest I have ever been in my adult life and my jeans fit well! I love the varied classes, and how adaptable each exercise is, whether it's a modification for an injury or you are like me and want to push a little more. Clean eating has become a normal part of life. I have made so many healthy changes and I don't miss the unhealthy habits at all. Everyone is really supportive too. There is always friendly chatter, encouragement and understanding. And I love that we are often at the beach! Sunsets and beautiful waters definitely help!”

“It feels like finally I met my dream driving Instructor Jag whose teaching method is not just driving class but subconsciously training in mind how to drive well in exceptional perfect way and in a safely manner. He take all my fear out and make me drive like nothing else which is like so so easy. One in 10 thousand instructor Jag like instructor will found and is very rare since his teaching method is research based whatever he said is scientific and proven method thats why he is so so exceptional Instructor and rare to find. With his support and guidance from scratch I passed my Full Licence just few days ago. I recommend everyone who is in doubt of driving Jag is the final solution and the pathway is his teaching. Once again Many thank you Jag for your patience and Guidance I take a one leap forward in driving and in my life as a whole.”

“Eliette's is a great music school. Wonderful people, energy and teaching. It exceeded my expectations by a long way. Definitely recommended.”

“If you are considering doing Ballet as an adult, this is honestly the place to do it! They have so many different options for classes and I was so happy to find a studio that has the option of structured syllabus-style learning. The teachers are wonderful and make sure they know their students well so they can help progress them in a way that is unique to each individual. The community is very friendly and welcoming too. One of my favourite parts about dancing here is the annual show! We actually get to perform on a stage in a theatre with costumes and everything! It's optional of course, and we spend months preparing. Any one from any level is able to participate in it and it's an incredible journey to be apart of, and it's a time when the whole community is able to get together and support each other as it's no easy task, but one that is very rewarding in my opinion. All in all, I often find myself counting down the days until my next class. Cannot recommend DFLA enough!”

“Both my grand children, 1 and 3 years old go to this daycare and they are in love with their teachers. The environment is very clean and pleasant. They provide great education with high values.Thanks”

“The teachers at Busy Minds are truly brilliant – they pay close attention to each and every child, ensuring their individual needs are met with care and understanding. As parents, we always felt supported and confident in the care our daughter was receiving. Over the past two years, we’ve watched her grow into a confident, happy little girl, and so much of that is thanks to the nurturing environment and wonderful team at Busy Minds. We’re truly grateful for everything they’ve done and highly recommend to any family looking for a caring and attentive early childhood centre.”

“Darcy is great - He has a way of explaining finances and markets that just make sense. He set us up 4 years ago to reach our targets and after a second session we are on our way to our next goal. Worth the money 100%”

“Rānui Kindergarten has been a second home for my daughter, Maiden. From the moment we stepped through the gates, I knew she was in the right place. The kaiako are warm, welcoming, and genuinely connected with each child — and I mean each. Most tamariki have one favourite teacher, but Maiden has built strong bonds with all of them, which speaks volumes about the love and manaakitanga in this space. Since starting at Rānui Kindy, she’s come out of her shell — her confidence, creativity and independence have all grown beautifully. I’ve seen her voice become stronger, her imagination flourish, and her pride in her culture deepen. The team do more than just “teach” — they uplift and nurture the whole child. Every day is filled with meaningful learning, fun exploration, and aroha. The outdoor area is stunning, the routines are calm and supportive, and the whānau feel is real. I'm so grateful for everything Rānui Kindy has done for Maiden. She's thriving — and I honestly believe the foundation she’s getting here will set her up for life. Ngā mihi nui to the beautiful kaiako — your mahi matters, and it’s changing lives. — Mum of Maiden”

“Love the ballet classes and the studio!”

“I can't say enough wonderful things about Phoenix Belly dance studio and it's incredible director Candice. I stepped into the studio and felt welcomed by the warm atmosphere and vibrant energy of the space. Candice creates an inviting atmosphere that inspires creativity and confidence. Candice is an exceptional teacher truly embodies the art of belly dance. She takes the time to ensure each student feels supported and encouraged, fostering a sense of community that’s truly special. If you're looking for a place to explore belly dance, connect with an amazing community, and grow as a dancer, Phoenix Belly dance Studio is the place to be. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone, whether you're a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills. Thank you, Candice, for sharing your passion and creating such a beautiful space for us all!”

“Such an amazing centre with the most kind and caring Kaiako who truely love, listen to and respect their children. A centre that truely values the families they care for and involve the parents and wider Whānau as much as possible. Plus, delicious and nutritious meals are cooked for the kids every day!”

“I've had a couple of lessons with Gabriel and I've learned so much! He explains the mechanics of the movement and techniques really well and it's helped me better understand why it works and how to correct myself. I highly recommend lessons from him!”

“Our son and daughter both love the staff and children at ROCC. The team create a fun nurturing safe environment for the kids to learn and explore. Love that the kids are encouraged to be active, use their imaginations and get messy. The staff and management team are extremely open, flexible and supportive. We often need to change days or increase or decrease due to our schedules and they team are always so accommodating.”

“Epic day for a totally reasonable price. It was my first experience surfing and Phil was an absolute legend. Clearly a pillar of the community and a surfing veteran, he was a great teacher and brilliant chat. He had me catch a wave first try and improve solidly over the lesson so I was able to ride a few in to the beach. Can't think of a better setting to surf than Piha either. Five stars”

“I have been going to Studio 16 pilates for two years now. Great instructors with extensive knowledge in pilates. The instructors easily adapt exercises to suit individual needs. Awesome atmosphere and I always feel welcome and throughly enjoy the classes. My body shape has totally changed for the better. I am stronger and leaner than I ever was. Best pilates studio ever thanks to Danny and the team.”

“A fantastic daycare with a super convenient location — especially handy if your kids attend the local school. The staff are warm, welcoming, and made my child feel safe and settled right from the start. It’s a professional operation with great systems and checks in place, which really gives me peace of mind. Couldn’t recommend them more highly!”

“We did an open diver course with Kiwi Scuba Divers. Alex and Jenni are amazing ! So patient and knowledgeable, we are so glad that we did the course with them. And in the shop, all staff are so friendly and helpful, giving us lots of great advice. Gear from the shop is great quality too!”

“I had the absolute pleasure of facilitating a breathwork journey at Kanuka Yoga Space, and I can’t recommend it enough! The space itself is nothing short of beautiful — serene, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed to create the perfect environment for any wellness practice. What truly made my experience unforgettable, though, was the communication with Raquel and Stu. From start to finish, they were incredibly welcoming, organized, and professional. Their passion for creating a positive space for people to grow and connect is truly inspiring. Raquel and Stu's attention to detail and warm hospitality made the whole process seamless, and I felt completely supported every step of the way. I can tell they genuinely care about the people they work with, and that energy really shines through in everything they do. I thoroughly enjoyed leading the breathwork journey, and I’m confident anyone who has the opportunity to visit Kanuka Yoga Space will leave feeling uplifted and nourished. I look forward to working with them again in the future! Thank you, Raquel and Stu, for such an incredible experience!”

“We are so grateful to Sonia for taking us on and sharing her expertise with us on such short notice! She helped choreograph not only one, but TWO beautiful wedding dance routines for us and with just two lessons (and lots of practice) we left feeling confident and so excited for our first dance. Sonia made us feel comfortable, confident and most of all happy during our classes and we feel so lucky to have found her. We highly recommend Sonia to anyone getting married - we weren’t sure about the whole choreographed first dance thing and we were just going to wing it, but we’re so glad we did this. If you are on the fence like we were, just go for it - she will help make you feel more confident and excited about it all and you won’t regret it!”
