Outdoor pool in Wellington

“Excellent park for children to enjoy while adults can relax on the beach”

“A Wellington CBD classic. Come see the bureaucrats eat lunch. Watch the shoppers rest. Marvel at the afternoon drinkers. Join the lunchtime crowd. Peak at the workers scuttling into the tower. You know you want.”

“The old dam outlet pipe runs through this tunnel. About a 18 minute walk up from Johnsonville park, the tunnel is located just to the left of the track before you reach the ridge. The tunnel length is approximately 30m till you reach the brick up end of the tunnel. You will need a torch or phone light.”

“I have been taking swimming lessons with Ben since September 2020. I was really scared of the water even though I love the beach and the idea of being able to swim. So I decided to take swimming lessons with Benoit and I am an adult swimmer. He is an excellent teacher when it comes to swimming, he listens to you and shows guidance according to your fitness, confidence and your ability. He has an efficient way of communicating and to teach swimming. I would highly recommend Ben from my experience. I can completely do all the breastroke, freestyle and backstyle now. And still taking lessons with him in order to improve and compete.”

“My child has made great progress since starting with Easyswim at Newtown. The teachers are really effective and keep the kids on task while making it fun for them. The pool is a good size for primary and intermediate age kids learning to swim, and is clean and warm. The swimming school is very professionally run and good to deal with.”

“The instructors are well trained and really good with the children. I would highly recommend the individual classes at the early stages. At least until your child is swimming lengths.”

“We've been coming here weekly for about 7 months. The teachers are so patient , kind and engaging. We have mostly had Tegan and shes wonderful.My 3 year old has been happy and learning so much! The water is lovely and warm, definitely helps the kids enjoyment and willing to participate. I've done lessons at a public pool that was always freezing (think babies with blue lips) but Fulton is basically like swimming in a warm bath. Well worth the cost. We do lessons on a Wednesday and it's also super quiet.”

“A superb park, well laid out with great planning. The planting attracts birds of all types including the rowdy Tui. Great water features. Plenty of spacious parking and electric car charging posts. Toilets suffer from vandals but usable”

“New playground installed with Flying Fox, eels in the river, nature walk & train Station”

“Mind blown by the place and arena. Fantastic services available, good parking. Round about was quite congested when we left. It would help if people knew their road rules.”

“Looked after our school group really well. They were awesome, very professional and fun, and the kids (and staff who joined in) loved it. Would definitely come back.”

“We took our two mokopuna to Adrenaline Forest today. The eldest has been a couple of times and was confident after his briefing to get started. The younger was less so but certainly gave it his best. They both succeeded and had a great time. My thanks to the staff who supported my mokos in particular but were attentive to all. Clear safety instructions showing exactly how to use the equipment; and just the right encouragement when one of my boys got stuck. A reminder of the basics and gentle but firm guidance from the ground. All the reassurance that was needed and our moko carried on again. No doubt the boys will be back and their koro and I will be happy to accompany them. Ngā mihi ki a koutou...”

“Great indoor sporting facility that can be set up for a variety of games. When I was there, there were 12 Volleyball courts on 1 side and a number of futsal courts on the other. Offices and meeting rooms are upstairs and the open passage way that runs the length of the building is a great place for taking video and photos to give an overview of the games.”

“Pataka is so good. they’re very open with diverse artists, especially Māori & Pasifika. a lot of their art have political meanings, which is awesome. there’s an interactive play room for children, easy to get around too”

“Great venue for exhibitions! Good facilities for organisers, exhibitors, and attendees. I’ve been to many exhibitions at Walter Nash.”

“Looking for LOTR locations?, this is your place”

“Beautiful scenery, public toilets that get locked in evening but one open all night. We had a peaceful evening. Restaurant at the carpark. Only one night for freedom campers they do come check.”

“Great place to bring the kids around for lil picnic with the great view, playground from toddler year 2-5. Near the beach, clean toilet with paid parking car near the pool.”

“Excellent facility in Karori. New Circuit style sessions on Tuesdays and a Pump class midweek evenings and again on a saturday - Instructors are friendly, focussed. Worth booking in at the Rec for.”

“Good for children in the summer time to enjoy the water and family can sit and watch children who are having a ball.”

“Awesome spot to catch a couple of phat kahawai, the odd cod, a gurnard or two, etc. Well set up, with heaps of rod holders, a bait station, and good lighting for a night fish.”

“We love the cafe in this Mitre 10. Their fries are much better than all other Columbus Coffee in town. Apart from the cafe, we look for interesting plants there as well. It never let us down.”

“5 star review for the lovely young Pasifika woman (apologies I didn't catch her name but wanted to make sure she was identified) who assisted me on the 25th of June around approx 5/6pm with my dehumidifier. I brought in my dehumidifier (almost at 2 years old) due to electrical faults and concerns, wanting to check my warranty and if I could get some help. Initially I was assisted by an older lady who misunderstood my request thinking I was after a return/refund, after I had specifically asked for some help with my machine that had sparked when I plugged in & was wanting to know if it was still under warrant and/or if someone could help fix it. She then proceeded to tell me I needed a receipt even after I showed my online contact with Mitre 10 noting the staff could call the shipping store upon arrival to assist and get the receipt details as it was an online order, but she told me to ring the store myself. As I went outside to grab the machine from my car & brought it back in with my daughter, I hear the woman telling the young lady I was after a refund/return which was in fact untrue, I quickly corrected her and this is where the young lady came in and helped me out. As I purchased online there was no physical copy but she was super helpful as I showed her the email contact with Mitre 10 & online details i could provide, The young lady got the initial staff member to call up the shipping store and was just super helpful and sorted it out fast and efficient. Great customer service, attentive, listened to what I needed and I was able to get a replacement as I was still within my 2 year warranty. The difference in service was visible & I think shes a great example of perfect customer service. Thank you very much to this young lady- approachable, super helpful and super happy with the outcome.”

“Hidden jewel if you love action sports or being active when Wellington weather is acting up”

“Great fun for the whole family. Slides, hot pills, sauna, steam room, waves, basketball hoop. Lots of fun”
