Parks in Wellington

“Billy miniature schnauzer loves coming here as he is treated like a celebrity whether for grooming, vaccinations or checkups. Staff are wonderful so know he is given the best of care. Wouldn't go anywhere else.”

“Great place, great people. If you live in Totara Park, you won't need an explanation, these people are always friendly, shops always clean and well stocked. Often no need to go to the supermarket ;)”

“Sending my two daughters to Best Start Totara was one of the best decisions we made. Thank you for taking care of Gwen and Solana, helping them progress, and building their confidence. Thanks to all of the staff: the office, receptionist, cook, and teachers. You guys are amazing. I will definitely recommend you to all of my friends.”

“Impressive welcoming and so nice to work in loved it!”

“Had the 8-course tasting dinner with wine pairing and it was such a great experience. Every dish was packed with flavour and looked amazing on the plate — you could tell a lot of thought went into the menu. Some combinations really surprised me, like the beetroot carpaccio with macadamia crusted feta, and the smoked eel with caviar — so good! The wines were perfectly matched to each course, starting with a crisp Champagne and ending with a bold Pinotage. It really brought out the flavours of the food. Service was spot on — the team were friendly, easy to talk to, and kept the evening feeling relaxed but still special. We never felt rushed, and everything flowed nicely from one course to the next. Left feeling full, happy, and impressed. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone who enjoys great food, wine, and a memorable night out.”

“Fantastic staff. Always helpful. Great selection of gifts and pharmaceutical products”

“Very friendly place. Great if you want a beer with nice down to earth Kiwi people.”

“Thanks Cinnamon, Nikki, Mandy, Sonya and all the educators of Ascot park Kindergarten for giving our daughter a home away from home. We as parents really appreciate all the hard work you guys put in taking care of our little ones. Sauhbat always have a good time at her kindergarten and feels safe under your care. She has progressed a lot in confidence. Thanks for being such an integral part of her life and making her feel so loved and welcomed. We couldn’t have found a better place for Sauhbat. Regards Tanya and Vivek”

“Someone warm to me yorguert poo.”

“My daughter is here，she is very happy every day and the teachers are very patient and kind. I was really worried before because she couldn't accurately distinguish colors, but under the guidance of Teacher Li and the team, she quickly learned.”

“Such a big play area ..skate park as well .. specially after school..if kids wanted to play more ..water tap and toilets very handy”

“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”

“A beautiful park with a lot of long trails, mountains, forests, waterfalls etc. Bring enough time and water, you can't buy anything there, I also haven't seen a toilet or something. I was there when it was very cloudy, so I couldn't take very nice pictures of the landscape. Make sure the weather is good tho.”

“Very nice at Wahine Memorial Park and also good views at the Park.”

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

“A very big and fun park for mountain bike riders, walker and dogs. They have heaps different track from easy to advanced. After last night rain road still muddy and wet. Got a tap to drink and wash your bike.”

“Excellent NZMCA member only park. Great stopover before getting the ferry - only 25 minutes.”
