Gifts in Wellington

“By far the best liquor store in the Hutt. Staff are absolutely lovely and are super helpful!, always asking how you are and if you’d like recommendations. Prices are consistently great, and some of the deals are perfect especially during the Christmas months. Store looks lovely too, bottles are clean, neat and tidy, it’s perfect!. Selection is also very vast which is amazing. If I could rate this store higher I would, Definitely worth your while!”

“Friendliest staff around. Always a pleasure visiting this place”

“Me and my family come by every so often. The food is always good and the staff are lovely. They've got a good range of drinks and desserts as well, although for the most part we stick to the dinner menu. Highly Recommend”

“Danielle is excellent. Feel like I am in really good hands in all the ways every time I return for touch ups at Laser Clinic. Danielle listens to me and isn't afraid to offer her expertise and advice on what may be best in the context of filler. I've never left an appointment feeling over-filled which is exactly the outcome I want. I would highly recommend Danielle and the team at Laser Clinic both Willis St and Queensgate.”

“We came for the cheap prices but would return for the food and coffee! Wasn't expecting much but our Eggs Benedict's were very decent homely fare and the coffee was excellent! It's signage is hidden behind scaffolding at the moment so be sure to look for it even if you can't see the sign! They deserve the business :)”

“Moved to Ngaio a few months ago and have been in here a few times - HOW ABSOLUTELY LOVELY ARE THEY?! ALL OF THEM!!! A genuine, effortlessly friendly and welcoming vibe and I see them treat ALL their customers this way. They’ve taken the time to build relationships with their customers where they can have conversations about what they’ve been up to - it’s awesome! I believe interactions like this are the true definition of what community is and it’s such a rarity these days so we must call it out! celebrate it! Just letting you know, I really appreciate it!!!”

“Good collection of liquors, spirits and wines, centrally located.”

“My partner and I usually go out once a month for dinner to restaurants around Wellington and we were delighted with this place! I have a gluten intolerance and the staff member that served us was super accommodating! I absolutely loved the cocktails, I had a tropical one with an ice block and a toasted marshmallow screwer. My partner had a yellow curry and I had the Bangkok Street Noodles and they even gave me some peanut sauce as I could have soy sauce and it went perfectly well with it! I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone and will be back! Thanks for a great night and experience!”

“A great place to chill and enjoy the crowds (or army of suits). Very easy to get to, via bus or rail. Food was great beer was too only downside no Stella. Will come again soon :)”

“Super delicious sweets, the lemon cheese cake is awesome like everything. The taste is incredible, coffee has a great strong taste. I love the shop. Staff is very friendly”

“Great service and great prices! They're the only bottle store I know of that carry Yankee Bourbon Co. brand spirits. What's so great about that? All their 1 liter spirits (vodka, rum, gin, whisky, etc) are just $30! And 37% at that; not bad!”

“Good selection, delicious sushi. Great for lunch takeaway so close to the Terrace.”

“I have travelled the world. I have been to Europe and I have tasted my uncles home cooked pizza. I have been to Milan and I have been to France. I will say only one thing. The creamy pineapple pizza stands undefeated and very much unchallenged. Who else could try? Miss u crème fraiche”

“Saffron Haveli serves some of the best Indian food in Wellington! The chicken biryani is packed with flavour, and the butter chicken is rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Pairing it with their garlic naan takes the experience to another level. The food is fresh, and the portions are generous. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine!”

“It's our first time to dining in this restaurant. Was really mpressed with the food and service. Food was really fresh and tasty. They even offered free soup and fruit platter. The restaurant was also tidy and clean. Will definitely come back again!”

4 Seasons Nails is a beauty salon providing nail care. The team is known for a clean, tidy setting.

“We tried the veg delight and pepperoni pizza - both were loaded with fresh toppings and melted cheese. Great taste, quick service, and very affordable.”

“Definitely my fave place to go for Italian food! The perfect blend of flavours in the pizza that were not over powering but also not boring either. The food was very well prepared, served hot and service was exceptional. Pasta fabulous texture and taste. Calamari is a MUST! Deserts were wonderful too. Overall, loved the food and vibe here and would come back.”

“I had the pleasure of receiving a haircut and colour treatment from Arti, and I was thoroughly impressed by her professionalism and expertise. From the moment I arrived, she was welcoming and attentive, creating a comfortable and positive environment. Arti provided thoughtful recommendations on both hair colour and products tailored to my needs, and her efficiency did not compromise the quality of her work. The haircut she gave me was exceptional—well-suited to my features and easy to maintain. I received numerous compliments at work, which is a testament to her skill. I highly recommend Arti to anyone seeking high-quality, professional hair services.”

“Good people, great friendly service and advice. And responsible with it, happily (and non-intrusively) talking about safe limits when making bulk purchases. This team is awesome in balancing informed liquor sales and not contributing to NZs excess culture.”

“These guys awesome friendly helpful perfect service, highly recommend”

“A hidden gem in Churton Park! I stopped in at Simmer Café and was seriously impressed. I had a mocha and a cheese scone, and both were outstanding. The mocha was rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced — not too sweet, not too bitter. The cheese scone was fresh, warm, and full of flavour — one of the best I’ve had in Wellington. The staff were welcoming and the café had a great local atmosphere — clean, relaxed, and clearly a favourite with regulars. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended if you’re in the area!”

“The dosa was absolutely delicious, really tasty and well made. Food quality is excellent and I’d definitely come back for the taste alone. The only downside was the cleanliness, the floor and tables were sticky, which took away from the overall experience. If they improve this, it would be a perfect spot.”

“Such an easy shopping experience with the staff member Anil helping us! Recommendations were perfect and the service was quick with getting the right sizes/colours/etc. Thanks again Anil! Perfect service - will definitely be back due to Anil!”

“The staff at this shop are so good. Each time I have been in to buy jeans they have taken so much care to listen and try and find something that will suit me. I highly recommend”

“We had our wedding reception here and it was AMAZING! The functions manager, Chyanne has been amazing during the early planning, to figuring out the last minute details. They been very accommodating for guests who had dietary/allergies, and the staff that night were fantastic for making sure our reception was amazing! Would recommend and will come again for outings ”

“The food here is delicious and reasonable price. Wide open spaces and kid friendly environment.”

“We had breakfast for four of us on Sunday morning, service was friendly and efficient. Meals were delicious and coffee was fantastic. A cool setting and displays were very funky. Will be back next time we visit Wellington.”

“I’m sorry but how have I never been here before in my 14 years living in Wellington. Such a cosy nook, blink and you’ll miss it. the last Bastian of a cheap eggs on toast in Wellington if you will. AND mayoral candidate Rob Gouldon was seated there wearing a massive ribbon like a prize- what a treat. I’ll be back a million times over”
