Public pools & Water park in Lower Hutt

“Good dog park, even in the wet, nice hills, good agility section, even enclosure for small dogs if you need, and fully fenced with an 'airlock' gate system”

“Great place to visit, lovely scenery”

“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.”

“One of my favourite Lower Hutt beaches, a long sandy waterfront. There is a concrete path and low concrete wall between the free street side car parking off the roadway. There is a small short sand dune which is where birds nest and there are bunny tails and other plants growing along there.”

“Find sea glass with your kids, driftwood for your new Pinterest board, or just let time stand still for a few minutes and admire Wellington on a good day.”

“Great area in front of the beach especially when summer time! There are football area, bbq area (but the bbq grill didn’t work when we are there), toilet area behind the cafe (not too clean but still useable), cafe is nice with various choices of food, ice cream and milkshake. There is small pond with lot of ducks, don’t feed them bread please. We saw tracking area, maybe someday will back to try the track.”

“Beautiful time with whanau on a wonderful sunny day in the Hutt - track to summit was nice grade and great condition!”

“Has hot showers and free gas-fired barbecues, well maintained facilities for low pp cost per night. Beautiful native bush surroundings and stunning freshwater stream. Excellent walking trails nearby and superb NZ native forests to explore.”

“Visited the Cafe and exhibitions today. The Cafe food and coffee was top quality, and the exhibition spaces are well set out. The art works were suitably challenging, made us think and ponder, which good art should do! Highly recommend a visit.”

“Great place, so easy to clip multiple kids on and trust they’re fine until the next wall. Dominique was phenomenal; so personable, helpful and knowledgeable.”

“The kids love this playground. Lots of options for games and activities with plenty of places to sit for a snack and a drink as well. Having the cafe kiosk and toilet block right there is equally important for kids and parents.”

“Very sad to see where so many were washed ashore that night so many years ago. All the documentaries & history books can't show you how far away from Wellington CBD by road it all was. I think it is a must see for all NZers.”

“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.”

“Love this place. I have raced model power boats here for many years on the river, a great challenging piece of water.”

“Spent a while in here looking for options to cover the floor in the garage to convert to a home gym. Plenty of options were presented with pro's and cons. Range of pricing also discussed when discussing options fit for purpose. The staff member who served me was interested in helping come up with a solution. Easy access and parking, I went in early Saturday morning.”

“It's a huge outdoor playground with an older kids area, younger kid locked and fenced area, and an accessible toilet. The facilities are well maintained and all functional. The toilet and the playground are clean and tidy. There's ample free off street parking right at the entrance of the park.”

“A wonderful family park for outdoor for sports and picnics . A bit damp under foot in the winter but excellent in the summer ☀️”

“Frequent visitors to this store because of how well catered it is for kids. Our 3 year old had an accident at Bunnings Petone on the weekend and the staff were so incredible - knew the process,everyone helped accordingly and followed up with a phone call later that day and a gift sent via post. Couldn’t have felt better looked after and cared for - thank you team !!”

“Staff are bubbly and very kind - man behind register literally singing songs and cheerful. They had many well known branded clothing and it was not ridiculously priced. Store is very clean and changing rooms are spacious. Doors automatically open which is helpful when walking out with your hands full of items purchased :)”

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

“Great park for a family picnic. So close to children's playground, toilets and swimming pool”

“Great foresight to have these around”

“Wonderful stay at Angie's for our family. Very comfortable. And the animals are so swee5 plus the trampoline and swing were a hit for our bous and Angie provided a high chair for our baby too!”

“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”

“Great spot with plenty for kids and families-Junglerama, Jumperama, Cyberpunk, Clip ’n Climb, and the arcade. It’s not the cheapest day out, but it definitely wears the kids out and creates some great memories. The café food is pretty average, but fine for a quick drink and some hot chips.”

“I belong to the gym and love it . I go 5 days,a week from 4pn to 6pm and sometimes go for a swim on Sunday,afternoon”

“had a great experience today with the team! ruby answered my phone call and put a clothing item on hold for me, she was lovely! then lucas helped me make an exchange, he was very friendly, great experience because of him for sure!!!!”

“Lovely would certainly go back again when weather is good”
