“Copy and pasted this review we sent in to customer service over the weekend. I had an exceptional experience at your store, Queengate in Lower Hutt receiving 5-star treatment that truly made my day. The till operator and the wonderful lady by the changing rooms were absolutely fantastic, providing outstanding service. Their friendliness and attentiveness were remarkable and I can't thank them enough for making my shopping experience so special. Not only did I find a great deal on a suit for just $299, but the exceptional service I received made the purchase even more memorable. branch 4044, till 14, date 02/08/25, time 11:27”

“If you become a member there you can get a discount on food and drink. Atmosphere was pretty chill when i went down but they do usually always have something going on weather it be a band or karaoke etc. Food was on point I had the ribeye steak with all the sides, staff were lovely. Wheelchair accessible kid friendly, they have a small timezone area out in the atrium. Be AWARE you need to be a member or with a member to drink alcohol there but anybody from the public can eat food there. Always a great go to when I need a steak meal”

“Ki o Rahi tournament. Wainuiomata is just the best place in New Zealand!!”

“Really nice open grass area. There are some play equipments for kids to enjoy too.”

“Great park for dog walking. More bins have been added, but still an awful lot of dog poo not picked up. The man that used to take care of the stream beams has passed away, hopefully the council will take care of this now.”

“Park-TACULAR! A true destination for the locals. Old trees, rushing river sounds, playground options for all ages. Sport options include a halfpipe for skaters, a basketball court for netball and risk-taking rollerskaters, and even a BBQ for dad to flex his culinary talents. You'll also find a bicycle road with miniature street signs which is extremely adorable. Just don't walk through it after 2am - local legend has it that the Stokes Valley Golem comes out at night to grab unwary travellers!”

“⭐ Excellent Service at Kmart! I went to Kmart to exchange an item but had lost my receipt. Chinnu was incredibly helpful — she went the extra mile to find my transaction even though I had the wrong date. Her patience and dedication made the whole process so easy. Super service — thank you, Chinnu!”

“Good open late so always go shopping here after work”

“Had a kids party here. Easy to arrange, and the kids loved it. Food and service was good and the play area was great. Only negative would be how cramped the seating area is”

“Our tamariki and whānau feel at home at our centre. The staff are friendly, caring and approachable and our tamariki can't wait to go to kura!”

“My son has been going to Petone Kindergarten for almost a month now and we are both loving it! The teachers are so warm, welcoming and caring. When I drop him off in the morning I’m always impressed with the amazing set ups and the sense of calmness. Thank you all so much for taking such amazing care of my son!”

“We absolutely love Millie’s House. We had to change daycare centres since our last one was suspended by the MOE. After such an unpleasant experience it was wonderful to find a place here. The teachers are so kind and helpful. Paula, the manager is the best! So knowledgeable and caring. The children are so well looked after and they are very big on hand hygiene here. My son rarely comes home sick anymore. We are only leaving due to relocation to the South Island. Thanks for everything Millie’s House!”

“I went here when i was younger i loved it here amazing staff especially that Emma girl. Sad she left kristys nice aswell”

“We've had a great learning journey in here. The teachers are highly experienced and truly care about the children's needs and development. The environment is warm and welcoming, with plenty of opportunities for the kids in different ages to explore and learn. My child has grown so much in her time here, both academically and socially. We really appreciated and would recommend this lovely centre to other parents.”

“Very kind, helpful, and responsible teacher and my kid just love it.”
