Parks in Tauranga

“Beautifully maintained historic site with fantastic gardens. The lovely guide (Judy, I believe) was so knowledgeable and passionate about the topics of the presentation. She added another layer of perfection to an already magnificent experience.”

“Great trek and the valley is gorgeous. A little bit of mud in some parts of the trail. The full trek was 45 minutes”

On the plate at Gengy's Restaurant Tauranga, the idea is burger‑led and well judged. Cakes and scoops finish things neatly. Eggs land on point and toast keeps its crunch. Combinations read bold but stay balanced.

“We've been here multiple times this past year, including for my birthday, and they've always delivered yummy food and great service. I will say that the last time we went, there was a large group and they were quite delayed in serving our drinks & dessert cocktail, but this was a one off, and I still think of Fox's as one of the best places to grab a bite. Their menu is quite inventive - both the drinks & the food - and their weekly specials make them even more enticing. You won't regret a meal here!”

“Beautiful place to visit over a sunny weekend with great food trucks options (coffee, burgers, icecream), grass area, beach access and public toilets.”

“Loved the presentation of food, quick service and great prices. Also so accomodating with a guest that couldn’t eat dairy or gluten so you created a one off dish for her. That was above and beyond. Thank you for a great time.”

“Absolutely amazing great food great service! I highly recommend the filled scones”

“Such a neat little display of sculptures, all the favourite characters with amazing details. Great spot to visit and right next to a playground. Highly recommend checking it out”

“Great place to come for a swim or for a good short hike. Walk is about 10min downhill and 15min back up the hill. Quite a steep climb with certain slippery areas and points that require nimble movement. Avoid on rainy days and days following heavy rainfall as either the path will be extremely slippery or the current streaming down the crossing will prove difficult to cross if wanting to swim.”

“Had a party today at Rocktopia Tauranga and what a blast we had. Recommend party bookings for sure! Was so much fun! Our son turned 7 and his friends and our family just loved this place. An hour climbing around and ending with the slides was a highlight for them all. The party room hire for an hour was just what we needed for them to play, eat and celebrate with cake.. thanks team for a great day. It went extremely well!! the kids left chuffed and full of excitement, and the adults left feeling very proud of there adventurous, happy children.”

“Tasty Thai Tauranga is a fantastic little place. We have got takeaway here before and thoroughly enjoyed it. Tonight we decided to eat in and were not disappointed. The level of service is amazing. I was unsure of what to select and after a discussion of what I like and don’t like a suggestion was made. It was a really tasty meal. We are very happy return customers.”

“Great place. Had so much fun with the Grandkids ❤️. They loved the park the digger the fountain. Only problem was finding parking. Even our Airforce showed up and gave us a great display with the Black Falcons.”

“A great reserve to wonder around. It has a loop track that is around 1.7ish kms around. The track is popular with dog walkers - most are responsible but watch out for dogs off leash who can't be controlled by some terrible owners. And don't believe what people say about the avocado trees - they don't exist so don't bother about driving out here to grab some - it'd be a wasted trip.”

“Loved it! Great neat activity play area.”

“Walked into the store as a customer, and found myself struggling to find the shoe that’s perfect for me to play a new sport. Until I was served by Keeley! She helped me find the perfect shoes that fit my needs and asks me questions that really helped her understand what I was looking for! Overall she is an excellent worker and I will be coming back again another day!”

“I would like to pass on my thanks to Leroy at Salon One. He restyled my hair and followed my instructions. A week down the track the style is easy to manage and falls nicely in place.”

“I online ordered Thai tonight to be delivered and had some issues with the Uber driver delivery restaurant manager turned up at my place and got it sorted Highly recommend thai star tepuke”

Joy Sushi is a compact Waihi sushi shop known for freshly made cabinet sushi. Selections change through the day and can include rolls, nigiri and rice‑ball snacks for an easy grab‑and‑go lunch.

“We had the most amazing experience on this seafari, apparently we got super lucky because we ended up spitting 4 different dolphin pods. Didn’t get to swim with the dolphins since all the pods had juveniles, but still it was amazing to just enjoy them from the boat and learn all about them from the crew.”

“Wonderful customer service. The ladies went above and beyond to figure out what I needed and followed up with emails and phone calls. Third time I've used HF and I wouldn't go anywhere else”

“These guys are the best hands down, amazing service on the car replaced what needed to be done, definitely fair prices compared to the other mechanic sharks around, and even better I was 10mins up the road, couldn’t make it in time before they closed, they even sent down someone to pick me up, can’t recommend them enough!!”

“Hosted a baby shower at Patio Rose recently for a large group of ladies. It was such a great choice of venue and the high tea eats and treats were delicious. Marija and her team did a fantastic job making us feel special and that the Piccolo room was setup up before we arrived. Highly recommend this hidden gem!”

“Been here many times. Parking can be a little hard to find when town is open, so arrive early to give yourself time to find a park etc. This visit was for the Pink Floyd experience Fantastic night. Great set up. Clean facilities.”

“The best movie theatre in NZ Big seats and spacious. Also, clean A little bit of extra pay, you get the lazy boy seats. So so recommend”
