Public pools & Water park in Porirua

“John from Just Cabins Porirua was an absolute pleasure to deal with. From the first enquiry through to delivery, everything was smooth and hassle-free. He was professional, responsive, and went the extra mile to make sure we got exactly what we needed. The cabin itself was clean, well-maintained, and perfect for our needs. Highly recommend if you’re looking for extra space without the stress!”

“We love our spa pool from Paremata Spa & Pool so much that we've bought two from them! The team are super helpful, and they really made it easy to find the right spa at EASILY the best price on the market. If you want great service, and an even better spa - head over to see them!”

“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.”

“You can’t beat Plimmerton on a good day. Classic safe, suburban sandy beach. Karehana Bay is best, though a decent walk from the ice creams and fish and chips. Toilets and chafing rooms at the Boating Club entrance. Check out the new cafe at the club!”

“Lovely spot, made even better if Mr Whippy is there!”

“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...”
