“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Truly Exceptional Service I had such an amazing experience thanks to Reece and Amber at Early Settler. They were both incredibly helpful, thoughtful, and genuinely a pleasure to deal with. Reece made a real impression with his calm, understanding nature and the way he approached everything with such care and professionalism. Amber was equally fantastic, warm, supportive, and just as committed to making sure everything went smoothly. It’s rare to come across people who are not only great at what they do but also make you feel genuinely looked after. I hope their efforts are recognized, they really went above and beyond, and made my experience with Early Settler one I’ll always speak highly of.”

“Just wanted to pass on that we were very happy with your service, and the quality of the scrubs uniforms we purchased from you. You managed to get them delivered today so that my husband can wear a pair to work tomorrow. Much appreciated.”

“We came after specific chairs, and we were looked after very well. We knew there would be a wait for them. Michelle was excellent, and we left with a couple of other small pieces. You are credit to your business. I also returned for an extra piece that was added to our order and will be delivered together. Awesome”

“Great place! Bought 1 kg of peeled frozen garlic for $8.00! 4 kgs of Italian canned tomatoes for $6.00. The gentleman was so helpful that he bought another basket for us! Deals are barging, but not for everyone for sure! For us, it is so highly recommended!”

“Nice place great coffee. Baristas are very passionate about delivering quality coffee. Croissants are my favorite to go with it. 10/10 would recommend.”

“Great place to buy you fishing, camping and everything else at fabulous prices.”

“Best dairy in rolleston. They have a wide variety of drinks, lollies, and ice creams and even offer other things if you want something for lunch. Great place”

“I never leave reviews, but this was needed. Like others, in the past I have gone into this shop and found not the best welcome, but no anymore. I am so pleased to see that they have clearly taken on feedback and improved the service to customers. I used to feel a bit judged when walking in there, but on the last few occasions I have been greeted with a cheerful hello, followed by no pressure attentive service. This has been from multiple staff on different occasions recently. Thank you very much for such a fantastic experience.”

“Please go to Decjuba at the Base - ask for Alana - she is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING - I just had the best shopping experience of my life. Alana was so helpful, so knowledgeable and knew exactly what would suit me best, and I came out with armfuls of goodies. I was made to feel so special and valued, you all need to go and have the same experience. Thanks Alana. Dale”

“Staff is respectful and knows what customer wants. Paul at Hamilton -The Base you are the best. Thank you”

“Love the chicken and chips price is good for what you get service fast”

“Hillcrest Fresh Supermarket is hands down the best place in Hamilton for fresh fruits and vegetables. Their prices are way better than the big chains, and the quality is always top-notch. I love that I can get all my Indian groceries and international items in one go. Their weekly specials-especially on eggs and bread-are the cheapest I've found. Definitely my go-to for my weekly grocery shop!”

“Great value and really fresh fruit and vegetables. The eggs seem to be more fresh than the supermarkets. Well worth a visit, has those Asian ingredients we really need to top up the pantry.”

“I visited a few second hand shops and found this one to be really well organized and tidy with a good variety of clothing to suit all ages. Reasonably priced items in clean condition. I found similar items at other second hand stores in town that were double the price and in worser condition.”

“Has a lovely set up in store, open space to move around. Good range of stock. Some nice pieces of furniture. Friendly atmosphere.”

“My husband an I bought a boat recently and we were amazed by the Pleasant staff and the help we got.”

“Smith and Smith were fast, friendly and first class. The team at the Hastings branch made getting a replacement windscreen a breeze. Great location with the branch being close to the local shopping center.”

“Wow what an amazing place! First time in the staff Greeted me with a welcoming G'day. Unfortunately I'm gluten free (celiac) However this wasn't a problem as they had a few different opinions. The Kebab came out before I could sit down, To say the service was outstanding is an understatement. My first bite left me wondering if I should get up & order a second (the portion to price was definitely correct) it was absolutely delicious. This little store almost hidden away beat my expectation right out of the ball park, I will promise you one thing I will definitely be returning for more... Kind Regards, One very happy customer”

“Always a pleasant experience! Helpful and friendly staff. Great selection of products.”

“OMG, this place is absolutely fantastic! the staff are all so nice and positive. The food there is just scrumptious, and honestly you should defiantly go there. It's a great place for breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner. it takes 10-20 min for the food to be ready so no rush and if you always want a small desert or a small savory you could always do to the get-it-yourself food stale. honestly, I really think you should go if you haven't been there before. (PS, their drinks are good too, especially their coffee). all I have to say for the atmosphere is it's so clean and aesthetic. :D”

“Good Coffee, great breakfast, lovely staff and beautiful outlook. It is in the lobby area of an office block but don't let that discouraged you this is a lovely place to grab some food and go, or sit and eat breakfast or lunch. They have a great range of small snacks/cakes and even pre prepared sandwiches or salads. I had the Eggs Benedict with bacon which came on a harsh brown (old school shredded potatoes) which was amazing and loved the kale ,nice touch. We also had the scrambled eggs on toast which was nicely done and prefect lighter option. The coffee was awesome and would 100% return even for a take away coffee. I would recommend this place for anyone in the area tourists or workers alike.”

“In early 2019 I left a review stating that while Fresh and More used to be my go-to place for fruit and veges, but at that time the quality of the produce and cleanliness of the store had degraded so badly that I would no longer shop there. I am not sure if there has been a change of ownership or what, but as of this writing in January 2021 I am so pleased to report that the Fresh and More I used to love is back!! I dropped in to see how things were going while my husband was visiting the bakery next door and everything looked much more inviting - I bought some absolutely divine cherries that were huge and juicy and the best price I had seen anywhere out west. The facilities are clean, the fruit that is by the doors are now properly protected by netting , and the staff were helpful and efficient. I will definitely be going back again. I am really happy to see that changes have been made and my favourite fruit store is back to being awesome :)”

“Very helpful staff. They took my shopping list off me and collected all the pooja stuff we needed. Ist time and the 2nd time again.”

“Good selection of in season foods. Really good price on some things and some good essential items. Make sure to read the weights as it clearly has the price for the weights for pre packaged items.”
