Public pools & Water park in Wellington

“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.”

“Great place to visit, lovely scenery”

“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.”

“My friends baby Bernice & I, go to Baby Jam. We made new friends & enjoy our time there every Tuesday. Yayyyy Warm place & they have a lot of cool stuff for the babies. From small ball pits, toys, safety is well checked, swings n slides & more.”

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

“We had a very enjoyable stay at the Glimer Apartment Hotel. Very nice room, had everything we needed and the king size bed was amazingly comfortable. Although situated on a hilly area, it was very easy to get to Courtenay place by elevator and escalators. I would recommend.”

“Not bad, Ramps are a bit steep but big half pipe is well. Very slippery rails”

“Spicer botanical park is a very peaceful and nature park with a big range of walkway and mountain bike track. Also is dog friendly with on leash, a stream run through the park. Carpark beside the park.”

“This place is one of the incredible places in Wellington. Most likely this is part of the waterfront. If you visit the Wellington waterfront harbor, you will find this beautiful park and kids playground. Totally free of charge. Kids can experience adventure and fun at the same time. Highly recommended place.”

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

“Wonderful teachers that really helped my child learn to swim and gain confidence being in water.”

“Been here for many years with my Tamariki . Finally a toilet and water fountain installed after many years also. Large bike,scooter track. Basketball hoop and play area.”

“We hired a room for a few hours for our twin niece's birthday. We had roughly 20 people. Great facilities and cheap hourly rate to hire rooms. Definitely recommend if your wanting a space that accommodates for special celebrations.”

“Cool playground for older kids and there a water play area too. Also handy is the store selling crepes, ice cream and drinks on site so you can grab a bite while the kids play.”

“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.”

“absolutely beautiful river spot”

“An amazing space to host our regular Artisan Craft Market once a month, the staff are fantastic to work with and super supportive, especially in these challenging times.”

“Excellent playground for all ages, with plenty of seating and sun covers. Really new equipment too. Free on-street parking right beside the park. There are no public facilities here, the nearest public toilet is at the Khandalla Shops.”

“Been coming here for 40 years.. I'm pretty sure ...nothing else Needs be said about it..lol Stay away it's all mine lol hehehe”

“Really impressed with the service provided by the kitchen/laundry department. The Häfele flat pack cupboards and drawer units, and the Elfa shelving system turned our laundry from drab to fab. Now it's an awesome space with marvelleous storage!”

“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.”

“Beautiful park and very peaceful, the workout plaza made me feel like I was training for American Ninja Warrior!”

“Great pool! Great slide! Great staff!”
