Children's entertainment room in Tauranga

“Fabulous family activity!! We have been in a few times with our kids and love these escape rooms! They are so detailed and clever but great for children with some adult help. Staff are always lovely and the man who was working today was wonderful! Highly recommend!!”

“New shoots has been an amazing place for my daughter. Since leaving another daycare, the process and transition for my family has been amazing. My daughter is so settled and happy there, she now wakes up and wants to go! The staff are all so kind and caring, the facilities are great, the outdoor area is a paradise of exploring for all the little ones, my daughter no only tells me about her meals each day but also about all the activities she does and is thriving. Everything you want in a centre.”

“Thank you so much Mike. Phoenix and his friends thoroughly enjoyed his birthday treat. Would absolutely recommend the 1 hour tour. A real adrenaline treat for 13 year olds and mum too”

“My partner and I went for a fun date to the cave for a new experience and it far exceeded expectations. The quality of the VR and interactive experiences were amazing. We had to problem solve together to progress through the game. Such a cool idea for couples or groups. And Chayse who was looking after us was a legend.”

“We booked a birthday for 16 guests and it was amazing! The staff were all incredibly helpful, Shaun, Kaela, Trilay, were the real stars!!! Super helpful at every step of the way and made it easier for me. Would 10000% book again xx”

“Blue Cottage has been incredible community to be part of. What a wonderful childcare environment with such caring staff from the front desk to those working daily with the children. My son had some allergies and the team were incredibly accommodating for us in the trial and error it took to get through that stage. I so appreciated it. There is nothing better for a parent than leaving with full peace of mind your child is ok. Would highly recommend!”

“Kids had a blast! Great activity for kids of all ages. Ours range from 10-16 and all loved it (and we did too!) love the new addition and all the work that has been done around the place since we last visited!”

“We wanted to say a massive thank you to Nyree in the furniture department for her exceptional service. When we called at 9:30am about a warranty claim, she went above and beyond by immediately contacting the supplier and arranging a direct replacement. By 10:45am - just over an hour later - our new item was ready for pickup at Tauranga Farmers. Her efficiency and dedication to resolving our issue so quickly was truly outstanding. Thank you Daniel Prince”

“Lorraine is an absolute legend. We were purchasing our first capsule. She explained it in great detail, features, safety considerations and demonstrated fit. The reason to go to stores vs shopping online!”

“Very good choice with lots of variety. Certainly a very handy shop to have in Matamata.”

“This is my favourite Farmers store. It might be small but for women's & men's clothing it is great. I've purchased some of my favourite pieces here. Easy to find everything and the ladies are extremely helpful.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Always a great experience at The Warehouse! A big shout-out to the amazing team — the staff are always friendly, approachable, and willing to go the extra mile to help. Whether I’m asking questions, looking for something specific, or just browsing, I always feel supported and welcome. Thank you for the consistently great service and for making each visit a positive one. It really shows when a team cares about their customers — and you do!”

“Was invited there for a birthday party this Saturday. Was very busy and yet the facility was clean and well run. I order a coffee and got it quickly and it was a great coffee too. Thee kids food in the party room was really nice. My kid lt me have some hot chips and they were actually really nice. Well done to all the staff working there. Great experience.”

“Quick trip, in and out. Found what I needed easily - a new bedside lamp. No hassles waiting at the checkout. Polite and friendly service. Super happy with my lamp, and the price. Love it! ❤️”

“I went there yesterday for a couple of things I needed. I spoke to a couple of their staff, one at customer service, unfortunately I did not get his name, but he was super helpful. When he realised that what I was looking for is not availablr at that warehouse he gave me some options—places I could go to. Another staff helped me find what I was looking for. It was a good experience for me. They were nice and helpful.”

“Kidiwise is the best daycare around! Our friends in other areas are so jealous of what our son gets up too! It’s not about being the top looking with fake trees its about kids being kids, creating, building, exploring their own native bush weekly! Pony rides, hatching chickens and swimming in the spa! We can’t recommend kidiwise enough we love the imagination it lets our son have and the teachers who support him.”

“We are so grateful for the wonderful environment at BestStart. Our daughter has grown so much in confidence since starting here—she’s building friendships, enjoying a wide variety of activities, and most importantly, feels a real sense of belonging. The teachers are warm, patient, and encouraging, and it’s clear how much they genuinely care about the children. We can see every day how much our daughter enjoys coming to daycare, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is not only having fun but also learning important skills along the way. Thank you to the entire BestStart team for the love, effort, and positivity you bring—it truly makes such a difference. We couldn’t be prouder of child and more thankful for the supportive environment she’s surrounded by.”
