“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!”

“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 had two lessons and passed his test first time. Jeroen is so patient and encouraging. He also has great resources (dashcam footage, etc) for teaching. Highly recommend.”

“Martina led a private surf lesson for my daughter and I. It was an absolutely amazing experience. I am a complete beginner and the ocean can feel quite intimidating at first, but Martina made us feel calm, safe and confident from the very start. She was thoughtful and incredibly encouraging, focussing on what we were good at and building on that. She analysed our moves and always gave good advice on how to improve to be better at the next try. I would highly recommend her and South Pacific Surf.”

“Yesterday we had our first surf class with jorge and alberto. After a quick introduction and some warm ups we got into the water. With the help of those 2, everyone was able to catch some waves. They were lovely motivating and cheering every success, so we had great two hours of surfing!”

“Dan and the team are extremely reliable, trustworthy and competent. Will check with you as they go if a vehicle will require more work than anticipated. Have been looking after our fleet for many years.”

“Recently bought a NSP protech from these guys. Excellent service and really friendly, also provided great advice as I was looked for a board to move up from a foamy. Best price I could find in NZ. Would highly recommend them.”

“My time at Bay Learning was really great. In just three months, my English improved a lot, thanks to the amazing teachers like Dale, Yongja, and Sandy. They weren't just teachers; they became my friends and mentors who were always ready to help. I also want to mention how helpful the administration was to us students. The school has a friendly and encouraging atmosphere. The teachers not only care about the whole group but also really care about each student's personal challenges, making sure we learn well. During the course, I made true friendships that I know will last forever. Bay Learning isn't just a school; it's a place where we support each other and grow together academically. I'm really thankful for my time there.”

“I want to thank Kelsey and Louise for being so kind and thoughtful to me. I called this store from Victoria Harbour, Ontario, Canada this evening as I was trying to order some items for our daughter who lives in Tauranga and was having difficulty ordering online. These women are wonderful and I can’t begin to thank them for all their help. I know our daughter will be thrilled with her gifts and my husband and I definitely have to drop by this store when we next get to visit NZ. Janice S.”

“Great range of toys including lego here and the staff are really helpful. I wanted to buy figurines for play therapy with children and the staff member was able to show me on their online services exactly what i was looking for. Well done Toyworld Fraser Cove”

“What an amazing team these people are. After 2 days of intensive instruction this 60++ year old has a far better understanding of my drone and the world around me while safely flying it, along with a certificate saying "pass" part 101 and part 102.. So to the team at "Drone Training New Zealand" Thank you, your wonderful training style is a credit to this industry. While making things a lot safer for everyone. Ps. Good luck Courtney, thank you Will and hope to see you again Bucky, what a team.”

“Definitely a great place to learn/train. Eru is a knowledgeable and patient teacher and the students are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended”

“Want to learn to dance? You won't find better than The Dance Centre. I have been associated with Dean and Miki for over 15 years and have learned so much over that time. I highly recommend The Dance Centre and encourage you to give it a go. Put it on your "to do" list for 2021.”

“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.”

I really feel like he is in a safe and caring environment where he’s able to thrive and learn and play to his hearts content. I'm so grateful to have such wonderful people I can leave him with and know he is being truly looked after.”

“I have 3 children currently attending and the kids love it there. They are all treated as individuals and they're learning and growing so much. The centre provides meals that offer a good range of foods and healthy! There is open communication with teachers and center director and the teachers genuinely care for the kids and make amazing connections. We love it.”

“Amazing daycare. The staff are wonderful to children and parents alike. All three of my kids love the teachers and I’ve never had a day they weren’t happy to go.”

“Ross was a top pilot who knew so much about the area that I was able to gain my bearings very easily! An amazing experience! Ross, sorry again about the clean up!!”

“Was an awesome experience! Big thanks to Phil who actually looked after me while taking me out on this flight. At first I was scared for my life, but Phil trusted and showed me how to control the plane and made it enjoyful, I then was comfortable with flying and he even let me help him land which is such a selfless gesture. Crazy having that much trust for someone who’s never piloted a plane. Cheers Phil”

“Just over a year ago I completed a UAV pilots course offered by Aviation Training, Tauranga. This course was a tad challenging for me in my old age (well that's my excuse) This course was skillfully presented and while covering a very wide scope, it also was tailored in some way to cover the needs of each student attending. My needs included flying in restricted airspace, legally and safely. The skills that I left the UAV pilots course offered by Aviation Training have proved repeatedly that Aviation Training not only do a wonderful job of teaching ( old coders like me ), also that I could not have got to enjoyed my drones to the degree I do now on a daily basis. THANK YOU TO ALL.”
