Hospitals in Porirua

“Indie and I were greeted with warm smiles when we walked in. The staff were helpful, kind and patient with myself and Indie. They allowed us to spend some time to settle into the service room first, before seeing the nurse, to help with Indie’s nerves. Thanks team - see you again soon!”

“I went in to see Dr. William Vaatstra tonight after I ripped my helix piercing, and honestly, he was amazing. Super calm, really easy to talk to, and just made the whole thing way less stressful than I expected. He explained everything clearly and handled it all with so much care and skill. What I appreciated most was how down-to-earth he was. He didn’t rush anything, did everything in his power to make sure I was comfortable, and just had a really genuine way of dealing with people, he is an absolute credit to his profession & made a terrible experience a pleasant one. Thank you Dr. William Vaatstra, your efforts do not go unnoticed :)”

“I had the pleasure of dining at this wonderful restaurant, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The restaurant boasts a tantalizing array of authentic Arabic kababs and a diverse selection of other mouthwatering dishes that truly transport your taste buds to the heart of the Middle East. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the kababs; they were perfectly seasoned and the meat was grilled to perfection, offering a blend of flavors and tenderness that was simply exceptional. Each bite was a journey through the rich culinary traditions of the region, leaving me craving more. What truly sets this restaurant apart, however, is not just the delectable food but also the impeccable service and the warm, friendly atmosphere. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to make your dining experience memorable. They are more than willing to offer recommendations and provide insights into the menu, making even newcomers feel right at home.”

“Great clinic, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our dogs likes going to this clinic in the Rappaw group clinics, it's nice and quiet and has plenty of parking.”

“Juilia, Muffy and others at Lakeside Veterinary Centre treated our feisty Bengal cat, LIa, with professional skill and loving care for Lia's life. We are extremely grateful that Julia and colleague were able to come to our house to help ease Lia's death when that became necessary. Lia was completely unstressed in her own home environment, on our lap, besides the fire. It was peaceful and quiet. This meant so much to her grieving human companions - with many thanks to Julia and everyone at Lakeside, Louise and George.”

“Always kind and caring. Explained everything well, and helped get our cat on the mend. They are very understanding and supportive—especially given our cat isn’t the most friendly critter. Thank you to the whole Vet Smart Plimmerton team.”

“I have been to quite a few different vets and I can say hands down that they have been the best to deal with. We have to purchase our cat's food from a vet and this clinic has been the only one who can keep on top of their stock and not make it a huge deal for us to need to purchase it from them! They are also helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate when our pet needs them. They also have amazing and accessible opening hours. It's so nice to be able to deal with a company who understand many people work 9-5 and simply can't make it during work hours. I highly recommend them!”

“The staff are always so friendly and welcoming. Their coffee is seriously good, some of the best I've had. I go pretty regularly, and they already know my order which is awesome. I haven't tried the food yet, but it always looks so tempting. Definitely recommend checking this place out!”

“The level of professionalism along with the genuine compassion for animal care are amongst the highest I have experienced in my 12 years of having dogs. I could not recommend this place enough. Helen at Rappaw Titahi bay saw my dog promptly after receiving my distressed email about the increasing frequency his back end was collapsing on him. We have been seeing Helen on a fortnightly basis over the past year. Helen is a wonderful hydrotherapist as well as an extremely knowledgeable animal physiotherapist. Helen also explains what exercises we can be doing at home which are beneficial for helping our dog to maintain strength and stability for longevity which makes us feel like there are things we can do to help the dog in between sessions or in place of a session. Our dog has now been seeing Helen for over a year and we have witnessed the progress our boy has been doing. He has gone from collapsing and stumbling to maintaining himself and being able to manage his short walks better than he started out a year ago, despite being a year older from building up strength with the hydrotherapy.”

“Wow is all I can say. I heard about Tuk Tuk thai over the years but we hadn't made it out of the city to try it. I am so glad we did as this was such beautiful Thai food. The atmosphere is lovely and you can tell that the owners put a lot of love into the decor. The service was great with friendly and attentive staff. But the food was the best Thai we've had in the wellington region. My husband and I both love Thai food and have tried most of the Thai restaurants in the wellington region, but Tuk Tuck Thai blew us away. The red curry is so silky, flavorful, and decadent and I felt like I was having a high end, luxurious Thai meal. The green curry was also very unctuous and flavorful with just the right hint of spice. The menu warns that both curry's come as medium, and we were a bit worried because we are not the best with spice, but neither were too spicy for us, so don't let that scare you off. We also had the roti with satay sauce and wow, the satay sauce is beautiful with great flavor, and one that you can tell is made in house. I 1000% recommend TukTuck Thai and if you have not tried it yet, please do, as you won't be disappointed. We are still talking about that meal the next day and cannot wait to go back.”

“Great owners, and nice accommodation”

“The cleanest, most comfortable motel we have ever stayed at. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the cleaners certainly take pride in their work. Thank you for a very pleasant stay.”

“Really delicious food. We've been there a few times and will be back again. Lots to choose from. We've eaten all meats and they're all tender and good portion sizes. Service is good and attentive.”

“Overall very nice, as advertised. Cleaning is performed regularly and thoroughly. Quite close to the motorway and windows are single glazed so the noise is quite noticeable. Rooms are nicely furnished, Rooms are a little dated. Enjoyed my stay overall!”

“Despite our last minute booking at 9pm, it was nice to get the instructions for parking and simple directions to use the shower facilities. We got off the ferry with our motor home at 1am in the morning. And the parking was easy. Lots of spaces for motorhomes in the powered site. Nice clean shower. Everything was neat and well managed. Love it. The lady at the reception I met in the morning was friendly, helpful and nice. Thank you for all the help”

“Very good service, amazing food and cheap for all family,and couples, best soup and bread ever highly reccomend”

“Didn't actually stay but made an enquiry for a last minute family emergency. The lovely owner Raewynne was very helpful and made an alternative suggestion that could possibly suit our needs better regarding travel to and from hospital even though it meant she wouldn't get the booking. Then, she even followed up early the next morning to see where things were at and to offer well wishes to our family - that is awesome customer service! Thanks Raewynne.”

“Great coffee, reasonably priced, ready on time to board even when the train isn't late.”

“Warm hospitality, clean and comfortable living space, expansive sea views and provisions for breakfast. Well worth it if looking for a place to stay for a while. Hosts Mike and Gillian go out of their way to make your stay easy as.”

“My partner booked this as a surprise getaway for us. Was not disappointed at all. Amazing location and beautiful suite. Looking forward to returning.”
