School in Tauranga

“Small and cosy, great for having a quiet movie night.”

“Very nice boutique lil theater, Even had cuppa teas n coffee available, with carrot cake too, Handy location in Tauranga city off Cameron Rd”

“A really wonderful community hub. I came here for a hot shower and ended up making friends, running into old friends, and then staying for the community dinner. The centre is well organized, well lit, friendly, and truly community driven. There is food and hot showers for everyone, and food to take away. I really enjoyed myself and although the shower could do with some extras, it is hot and is just what you need when you've been bathing in a cold stream for 6 months! Cheers to the staff and volunteers at Aritaki community hub. You are the true people who make the world spin and my heart goes out to you. Next I am there, My hands will jump in to help, too.”

“Don't need to know a thing about boxing to start at Boxn Booth. Brady is professional, knows his stuff, and comes across in such a genuine way that makes you feel comfortable and welcome in any session. Highly recommend whether you're looking at upping your fitness, just trying something new, or eventually getting in the ring.”

“Mellissa was great to deal with at Knockout Sportswear; friendly, professional, and made everything super easy. Delivery was fast and efficient… and best of all, I no longer have to show up to work in my holy (and not in a good way) shorts! Highly recommend Mellissa and her team at Knockout”

“The whole experience was epic! Darrel and Brad are excellent instructors, very knowledgeable and all around just good dudes! Couldn’t believe how quickly I got my first flight in and loved every bit of it! Would 100% recommend learning with mount paragliding!”

“The movement project is fantastic! I am a hockey player and massage therapist with several old injuries. The sessions with Lawrence have really helped with my core strength, joint stability, endurance and flexibility. It is a great form of recovery but gives you so much more. Lawrence gives you amazing guidance and options to adjust the poses to suit your ability. He clearly has a lot of knowledge on dynamic functional movement and the anatomy. It's also great to be able to access the live zoom sessions as well as an abundance of pre-recorded videos, so you can add in extra strength or recovery sessions whenever it suits. Highly recommended!”

“Neil was a great teacher, always has great riding tips to help at any level. Fun to ride with. Looking forward to my next ride forever course.”

“Absolutely love dancing with VPC. As an adult I was nervous to join a new class, especially the ballet as I had never done it before but always wanted to. I was welcomed so warmly and have felt supported and part of the team from the moment I arrived. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to give it a go for the first time or even just wanting to get back into dance.”

“Everyone is very supportive, the classes and services are all fun and are varied so that you can develop in all areas of health, fitness and wellbeing, on top of this the atmosphere is bliss!”

“My son really looks forward to his weekly sessions at Numberworks. It's built his confidence in learning by using tools that he doesn't have at school and having the close support of the tutors has helped him gain confidence. I love seeing him use his learning in his day to day life.”

“We have only recently moved into the area and both our 2yo boy and 4yo girl attend Minnows. They are always so excited to get going for kindy in the morning's and are both thriving in their new surroundings. Nirmala and her amazing team do an incredible job keeping children and activities as close as they can to each child's age and development. We love hearing our 4yo chatting about planet's or whichever science experiment they did that day.”

“Just WOW! Such a cool experience. George was a great pilot, knew his stuff and handled the large chopper with skill. So nice to see our pretty city from a birds eye view. Feel very privileged to have had this experience. Would HIGHLY recommend it!”

“Stephanie and her team have really helped my son after getting behind at school. The personalised lessons he has with Kip McGrath are perfect. First he got assessed and then all the "gaps" in his learning are being "filled in". With regular re-assessments we see his amazing progress. This is due to the supportive one-on-one, individual nature of Kip McGrath lessons. My son ALWAYS comes out after his Kip McGrath lessons happy (even if he says he doesn't want to go sometimes!) He also no longer dreads school everyday, as he's not feeling anxious because he can keep up and participate in class with confidence. I would recommend Kip McGrath to any child that needs help. Thanks very much, Fiona”

“Charlie listens carefully and understands my issue. She has devised a holistic plan that caters to my individual issues, needs and limitations . I really appreciate the resources available at Beyond Physio with the app which makes it easy for me to practise the rehab exercises correctly, and also with the gym providing a wider range of ways to support my rehab. Charlie’s non- judgmental style makes her really easy to talk to and her experience shows in her wisdom and approach to my treatment. Peri and Menopausal women… Charlie has a good understanding of the realities of this stage and I’ve been really impressed with my treatment and recovery progress.”

“It's such an awesome daycare and lovely staff. Our little boy loves Ako Learning so much. Highly recommended. ❤️”

“Absolutely delighted with my karate experience! The friendly teachers create a positive atmosphere, and the supportive seniors make every class enjoyable. The inclusive approach with classes for all ages and levels is a testament to the welcoming environment. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Wonderful physio clinic. Kendall and her team are experienced in a wide range of treatments and I have recieved excellent care.A long term plantar fascia tear has been resolved and I am walking freely again. Injuries from a fall also attended to with good results.”

“Love attending the Mum & Bub pilates classes. I always get a great workout with my mind at ease knowing my bub is also in great hands. Leyla is awesome with the babes and somehow manages to ensure they're happy (adapt the class if needed) while simultaneously delivering a great class.”

“We have used the center in the past for our eldest child but unfortunately had to change it for a time. Now, we have returned, this time with our younger child as well. The center is highly flexible in accommodating our work schedule, always ready to assist, and most importantly, our son loves going there.”

Taylor-Made Barbershop is a hair salon offering spray tanning, barbering, haircuts and hygiene care. Known for trusted by regulars, a relaxing experience and friendly service.

“Lovely, intimate little community theatre with great atmosphere, a quality selection of plays and exceptional performances. If you enjoy live theatre, you'll love Detour!”

“Great gym with high level coaching and a family atmosphere. Highly recommend”

“I have recently moved into the area and already I absolutely love going to reformer pilates here. Nicole and her team are amazing instructors and create a friendly, supportive and relaxed environment. Their new studio is fitted out perfectly and is a great atmosphere for a good workout! I leave the studio each time feeling good. I highly recommend to anyone and everyone!”

“So welcoming from the start. Such a pretty space too! The whole team made us feel relaxed. Kara and Sophie encouraged us to go at our own pace and listen to our bodies limits or injuries - anyone of any ability can tailor the class to their current capabilities. If you workout regularly, don’t think you won’t be a challenged , KX Pilates will definitely compliment your other activities and help improve performance!”

“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.”

“The staff at Omokoroa Preschool are simply lovely. From the moment you enter, you can sense the positive energy. My 3 year old Autistic granddaughter settled in straight away. Staff were very accommodating and gave her space to explore. She loves attending her sessions.”

“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.”

“This is a very family centred club, all ages and abilities. Karate is not something that comes naturally to me but I really enjoy the classes, learning the techniques and the people. Great for core strength, flexibility and balance in a very friendly and supportive environment. Awesome teachers and inspiration from Sensei Rick and the Senpai's - Osu!”

“I’ve been doing Flexi Barre with Renee for over three years now and I absolutely love it. I’m so much stronger, fitter and more flexible than I ever thought I could be. Renee has extensive knowledge and will always make sure you are working your hardest but keeping your body safe. After many injuries in the past this is especially important to me and Renee is great at adapting exercises so anyone of any abilitycan do it. Class sizes are kept small which makes for a a fun, supportive environment with no judgement. Highly recommend Wanderlust Dance Studio for anyone looking for a fun way to exercise.”
