“Lovely store. Well laid out, spacious, good lighting, good range of products, friendly staff. We are just visiting the area for a short time so could not buy much but my daughter was pleased to find VerMints (the ginger mint flavour, which I was first introduced to by a friend in the US and they can be hard to find in NZ), coconut water, and Proper Crisps corn chips (which can be hard to find in our home town). We also got some Clipper tea advent calendars for her and her sister later this year.”

“Targeted more at the commercial buyer unlike the Wellington store which has a retail area but it is absolutely great. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The store is very clean and well organises. Definitely somewhere I will continue to shop at for event catering requirements”

“The perfect place to get all your Asian related items, ranging from snacks, sauces, instant meals, frozen food, veges, etc. They even have a dining area where you can order your Asian favourites or do a takeaway. Their roast duck, bbq pork, roast pork and wat tan hor are on the must have list. There are toilets located at the rear where the carpark is. Parking out front can be a nightmare if it’s busy but lots of street parking available if you don’t mind a short stroll.”

“Woolworths is a convenient one-stop shop for all my grocery needs. The stores are clean, well-organized, and usually well-stocked with a good variety of products. I especially appreciate the fresh produce section and the easy-to-use online shopping platform. Prices can sometimes be a bit higher than other stores, but the quality and service make up for it. A reliable supermarket for everyday essentials.”

“We visited as a Playcentre trip. Michaela was really easy to communicate and plan with. Our children had a great time helping put mulch around the plants and planting some new plants. Michaela was realistic about how long the children’s attention would last and we moved inside to enjoy coffees and the children played in the play area.”

“Great friendly service, great selection of products, and best of all is that they sell Dairy free Vegan Dark chocolate chips, dark chocolate buttons and rainbow sprinkles etc. Plus so many other bulk food options. Chips and buttons are $1.29 per 100g!”
