Sporting goods in Wellington

“Had a great experience with Roger and one of his good folks. Now have a new, awesome 5/4 hooded O'Neill wetsuit for the very chilly waters off the Oregon coast. And got to know the Lyall Bay scene a bit better. The swell was good the prior day, and I'm stoked to get out some point in the future. When I do I will definitely stop by and check out Roger and the lads at Real Surf.”

“The absolute best chaps in the city for all things bikes. I’ve been to Giant multiple times with questions and issues on my bike and they’re always super friendly and very knowledgable, often happy to chat or fix something basic free of charge. Special shoutout to Roman who always seems to be available when I’ve needed something fixing!”

“Jessica Lee was an absolute delight to deal with. She was super helpful and kind to us, very patient and chatty and lovely. Thank you for the excellent service!”

“Good footy gear at a reasonable price. I got a kiddies Phoenix shirt $10 cheaper than Rebel, Ryos, etc.”

“Exceptionally awesome staff had an amazing time there, I went to buy some cricket stuff 10 minutes prior to closing time. The lady at the store was so kind and responsive , I thought she might ask me to hurry up but she didn't bother me at all. I was really touched with her gesture. Thanks for extending your closing time upto 20 minutes. You guys are amazing.”

“Popped in recently to look for some new shoes, Jonty was awesome - super friendly, knew a lot about what I was looking for, and helped me find exactly what I wanted. Definitely will be back soon!”

“Georgia and Jen were spectacular. I needed a college uniform on short notice. Didn't know what was needed for the year my child is attending. A few easy questions later, the team had me sorted! By far the most painless experience with back to school shopping.”

“I just wanted to share some outstanding customer service I received from Dan and his team at Bicycle Junction even when I wasn't an actual customer. It made my week and that was last week and I'm still smiling. When my bike's disc brakes locked up so I practically had to carry my bike, I took it to Bicycle Junction for a rescue. Dan quickly assessed that my bike was in a bad way but managed to fix the brakes, give the gears a tweak and even tighten my bicycle carrier which was missing a screw, as well as blow up my tires. This all came free of charge with some sage advice to get some serious work done on my poor bike. I really appreciated the friendly no fuss service. I was able to cycle away and ponder whether I buy a new bike or get my bike overhauled. I'm still mulling it over, but thank you guys for saving me the other day. Highly recommend.”

“Dear Team at Dive Wellington + anyone else who may be interested in learning how to (breathe underwater) scuba dive, like I have… I would 100% recommend choosing to learn here with a 5/5 star rating! I’ve recently earned my cert as an open water scuba diver on the 18th March 2025 & this has been one of my favourite learning experiences hands down. The team at Dive Wellington are not only dedicated & passionate, they have a great wealth of knowledge & experience they’re keen to share with others! Depending on your preference in learning, whether it be in a group, with a friend or one on one, each learner can be accommodated. I had the pleasure of learning with Dive Instructor Lene, who made the education around what I was taught, fun! I almost didn’t want the training to end it was that good & I can’t wait to dive beside you in the future. But wait… Acknowledgment deserves to be given to the shop owners/operators Paula & Dave where I would like to give them both huge thanks for helping me achieve my goal of certification.

“Went in looking for a new set of irons, Received the most incredible treatment throughout the fitting, Great feedback and tips throughout and catered to my swing and needs perfectly! Couldn’t recommend this place enough! Huge thanks to Sven for making the process smooth and enjoyable!”

“Excellent customer service! Would definitely recommend coming here - these guys seriously know their stuff and want to help you out. I called in to see if I had installed my roof racks correctly and Andy was only too happy to help. He checked them, replaced a missing pin and sent me on my way at no cost. Thanks Andy, you’re the man!”

“Easy to book online. Really lovely service in person by staff who genuinely wanted us to enjoy our ride. The 2 hour ride itself was spectacular. The climb to the lighthouse got the heart rate up and the downhill was thrilling - well worth the effort. And cruising back to the start with the wind in our faces was just exhilarating. We highly recommend Wildfinder for their service, quality of bikes and location.”

“I went Wellington store to buy sundown wool jersey my size was sold out and was only online sell. But got a leather belt, good customer service.”

“at the seveiw store there was a very helpful man who helped me pick out line and spolled up my reel for free diddint catch his name but was very helpful.”

“I want to give a special shout-out to Peter and Jason who really went out of my way to help me out. I arrived at the store end of last month with a broken rim and even though they were fully booked for repairs, they found a way to order a new wheel and repair my bike in a couple of days. All this even though I literally arrived at closing time! Extremely kind and helpful people. So thank you so much!!”

“The folks are so knowledgeable here! Skip the vlogs and just go in to get advice on tramping around NZ. Jay spent a good chunk of time explaining everything to me that I needed to know to get me TA ready.”

“Love this place, bought an amazing Lego hat, my friend bought a leather jacket and we enjoyed the company of the two kind workers when we were in there, Isaiah and Shay. Would 100% visit again and recommend to anyone looking for quality thrift clothes near the CBD.”

“I brought my bike in for a minor repair which the team at 99 Bikes did quickly and at a very reasonable cost. They even resolved an issue with a brake lever as well which I hadn't mentioned but needed doing. Very happy with the work and experience !!”

“Dropped by at lunchtime today looking for a replacement kingpin. Friendly staff, even helped me with getting the kingpin into the frame at no extra charge! Took a photo of the awesome skateboard wall. Happy to return here and purchase a skateboard for when my daughter needs another.”

“Shopped at the Board Factory, bought Ski boots and Skis, knowledgeable staff who are very helpful. Very good range of gear and opportunity for discount during summer sale.”

“Popped into Capital Cycles for some help with my tyre and found really great service. Paul had good vibes about him, the type you find amongst cycle enthusiasts. He gave me a decent price for a new tyre and pump, and he put it on in no time, then he helped secure a loose brake cable. Also, they didn't mind my small dog waiting in the store, which is always nice.”

“GREAT stop for amazing beers and good food. We like Stouts and IPAs and they didn’t disappoint!! Staff was super friendly. Absolutely would go again.”

“Super easy to control and endless fun on the water. Remember to wear shorts and non-thick cotton/denim for safety reasons.”

“The team at Golf Wharehouse are fantastic, the course is a small 9 holes but still provides good fun”

“The management team at Wellington Macpac with a particular call out to Liv, are exceptionally helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I had an issue with a pair of boots purchased from another Macpac (Taupo) and while they were less than helpful with the issue, Liv scooped it up and fully resolved it for me when it was really not their issue. I was blown away by the willingness to help and ongoing care to get the issue resolved. Highly recommend.”

“I bought some handlebars from Burkes online, and was amazed by how quickly they shipped them to me. Thanks guys!”

“I visited the Kathmandu Lyall Bay and was served by Elly who provided exceptional customer service. She listened to my many queries and was patient, expressing her knowledge and expertise about different options and a range of products. A few days later I was greeted by Ollie who expressed himself on an exceptional level, providing brilliant ideas and showing depth above his years. Both of these individuals went above and beyond and I feel their attitude and genuineness as young promising human beings should be noted for further development of an example of exemplary service. It was a breath of fresh air and in turn, I purchased exactly what I was looking for. It wasn't for either of them, I would likely have not purchased anything at all. A+”

“Super friendly. I did the Saturday shop ride and experienced some trouble with my back brakes. The shop was very helpful and friendly and sorted my issue out super efficiently. Was a lekker vibe and good coffee.”

“Always good specials. Friendly staff. Weekends are super full.”

“Excellent service with friendly knowledgeable staff”
