Store in Wellington

“I love everything about the Whitby clinic it starts from the warm greeting when you walk in the door. Then into relaxation room to be served berry tea or water with a wee treat on the side before your treatment My therapist is Catlin she is a wee doll very gentle and kind plus her knowledge about skin is incredible. I highly recommend 10/10 ladies xx”

“Once again Marty and his team were absolutely awesome to deal with! Extremely talented team and great humans. highly recommend too all that needs their car needs meet”

“David remade some family rings into my engagement ring and wedding band as well as my husbands wedding band. He listened to our ideas and gave expert recommendations so we really trusted him throughout the process to create the vision we had in mind. They all turned out exquisitely and will be timeless pieces that remain in our family for a long time to come. It is lovely to have a small local business here in the Hutt and really valued the personal touch we have had throughout the whole process.”

“We got an appointment quickly and the staff were very friendly. Excellent service and very good prices.”

“Thomsen automotive are awesome - great communication, always make things super easy and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.”

“Great service and the vehicle drove so well after my wheel alignment. Thanks for letting my car stay at Tyres Clinic while I went to my appointment. Nice chatting with you Scott.”

“This was an amazing experience. Jesse designed a custom piece just for me, and I absolutely love it. His delicate, detailed workmanship is incredible — even though the tattoo is small, he still brought it to life beautifully!”

“On Monday 22 September 2025, the team at the Animal Medical Centre worked for over 3 hours to remove LFC - liquid filling concrete - from the paws and other places of my cat Morgan La Fay. When Morgan got home and had recovered from sedation, she was completely back to normal. How Morgan came to walk through LFC is a long story which I will not recount. I do need to say 2 things, though, to make clear what a miracle the team achieved. The first is that, by the time I got her to the vet on Monday afternoon, the LFC had been on her paws and other places for 24 hours. She sounded like a ballet dancer en pointe when she walked around and kept hitting her ear with her back paw when trying to scratch it. The second is that Morgan is a cat with a very definite list of "nots" - do not walk towards me, do not pick me up, do not put me in a cage, do not leave me with strangers, do not touch my paws ... and on it goes. I knew she would have to be in a crush cage and I knew that even crush cages have their limits. The AMC team got all the hard-baked concrete off Morgan and left her with no ill-effects. That truly was a magnificent piece of work. I cannot speak highly enough of their ingenuity, patience, dedication, and veterinary knowledge and I am deeply grateful to them all. Thank you again to everyone who helped.”

“Entire experience is wonderful. Booking appointments was easy and Ayla listening to my ideas, then coming up with a gorgeous design herself. Made sure I was as comfortable as could be during the actual tattoo.”

““No gods or kings, only cocktails.” The vibes here are super chill—perfect if you’re after something more lowkey. The place seems inspired by fantasy themes and games, giving it a mystical feel. We arrived as a group of four around 10:00 pm on a Saturday. The person serving us was really lovely, taking the time to explain the different types of drinks they offer and happily answering our questions about specific liquors or custom requests. She also made some great recommendations. We ordered the White Witch, Banana Bread (brandy), Arkangel (gin), and The Last Word (I think that’s what it was called—Chartreuse-based). I especially enjoyed how fragrant the cocktails were, with the Banana Bread and Arkangel standing out. It was also cool to learn that they make a lot of their liquors and mixers in-house— including infused boozy cucumbers. We had a great time and really appreciated the hospitality. Would definitely love to visit again next time I’m in Wellington.”

“So happy I’ve found a matcha latte that isn’t too sweet and is overflowing with umami! Great find!”

“A very good experience. Great service, and spent time with us to make sure we got the car we needed. Even helped with Stereo upgrade, and have provided great after sales support to. Highly recommend the team at King Street Cars!”

“Luke was awesome to deal with, great customer service, Got a call back sorted my battery needs within the hour, highly recommend!”

“Friendly staff, we were assisted by Phil who was very good to us in the respect of answering all our questions, offering recommendations that suited our expressed needs, and quick with paperwork to arrange payment and delivery. Even called a few days after delivery to ensure everything went smoothly and the delivery boys did their job right - with no damage to the product. Very good service. I would recommend.”

“The team at Clive's are always super lovely and helpful, regardless of whether it's in person or over the phone. I am a massive fan of the online repeat prescription form and the collection and reminder texts that you send - so simple but makes a massive difference when you're always on the go! :)”

“One of Wellington's hidden gems — absolutely amazing food and drink, catering to anyone's dietary requirements. Edit 2020/12/01: As of 8 months later, the food is even more amazing — a testament how the staff always welcome constructive criticism and use it to continually improve. Definitely recommended!”

“The team were eager to help and let me take multiple test rides which helped me feel comfortable making my purchase. I’ve just had the 6 month service and it’s back to riding like a dream. I’ve only had positive experiences all the times I’ve been in to both the Petone and Wellington stores.”

“Had been wanting to get a spine tattoo for the longest time but had been hesitant on what I wanted or who to go to - I initially followed Gabby (my chosen artist) on Instagram & went from there on a design - which was such a stress free easy process. Buttercat has been on my list to visit & after being welcomed by the wonderful calming atmosphere I’m definitely more inclined to come back & get work from the other artists there also. So stoked with my new tattoo - Gabby did a wonderful job and I highly recommend their work !”

“I had the absolute luck(and my pleasure)to have Ayla as my tattoo artist after a lovely talk with Simon(who was so helpful with my design as I had NO idea!). Ayla was the absolute BEST to be spending an hour or more with in a close environment, she’s so considerate and kind and I’m so glad I had the privilege of having her as my tattoo artist! Thank you Ayla with the beautiful ‘aura’ you were a delight and I hope to see you again and I would ABSOLUTELY HAVE NO HESITATION IN RECOMMENDING YOU to anyone and everyone! One very special young lady who should be so proud of herself her professionalism and her talent! Stay well Ayla I LOVE the tattoo you did for me…”

“EXCELLENT. I wish we had one where I live. The baked goods are very high quality.”

“I have had my cars serviced at Saxton Autos Ltd Petone for quite some time and I have always had excellent results not just in the quality of the work but also in all my dealings with the staff. They are friendly, helpful and very easy to deal with. Absolutely recommend this garage.”

“Rebecca’s the best. Her store has it all from being pregnant to after birth. She and her mum are amazing people to converse with and i love love love the aesthetics of her store x”

“They are friendly and they are really efficient. I love coming here and they always do a great job! Would highly recommend.”

“The convenience and ease of navigation on the site is the first thing that catches the eye. An intuitive menu, clear category structure, detailed product descriptions with high-quality photos—all this allows you to quickly and easily find what you need. And if you have any questions, customer support is always ready to help, providing comprehensive answers and expert advice. However, the most important thing is, of course, the product range. It is impressive in its diversity and covers almost all areas of life: from clothing and footwear to electronics and household goods. At the same time, you can find both products from well-known global brands and unique goods from small local manufacturers. What is especially nice are the regular promotions, discounts, and special offers that make shopping even more profitable and enjoyable.”

“Really enjoyed shopping at the Featherston store this week. Penny was really Friendly and super helpful. I left with a gorgeous necklace.”

“A family member visiting from Germany looking for an addition to an existing tattoo that had been done in Aotearoa New Zealand about five years ago ended up booking with Jaco in his new awesome studio. Not only was Jaco super responsive, his advice on the design of the tattoo was A-grade and he even took the time to redo the original tattoo (done by a different artist) to make sure everything looks amazing. Harald says: “Thank you Jaco for the fabulous, first class artistic work. I am extremely happy with it. I’m taking a beautiful tattoo back to Germany with me.” Awesome experience, highly recommended!”

“In my shortlist for best coffee in Wellington, really really good stuff. Have been here many times over a few months and each time has been great. The staff are well trained as is minimal variation in results. Great sitting outdoors too.”

“My home away from home. If i could sleep upstairs, i would. Long live AroVid.”
