Vagabond Games & Collectables

Trading card store

👍 Love the store but find some staff are a really great and some are a bit dismissive. Overall I've had good experiences there which is why I've rated 4 stars but I do find some things a bit frustrating, such as if I'm there with my boyfriend the staff will talk to him rather than me even if I'm the o...

Game Over Queenstown

Go-kart track

👍👍 Top experience, customer service was amazing, both lads rostered on that night (6/6/22) were awesome! The races were fun, but the laser tag was even better in my opinion! 10000/10 definitely recommend! Plus it’s indoors so the cold isn’t as bad 😅

Hato Hone St John Retail Store

Thrift store

👍👍 They have some nice clothes, but be prepared to put in some effort to find them! Saw clothes from The Warehouse in the "high end" section, for example, so don't count on their sorting. (No criticism on the lovely volunteers, by the way - they must do an incredible amount of sifting through items to...

Hato Hone St John Retail Store

Thrift store

👍👍 Decent size op shop. They have a large range of items for sale. Pricing is very hit or miss depending on what it is. They do have a loyalty card. For every $10 spent you get a stamp. Once card is full you get $10 off your next purchase. Staff are pleasant. Parking is limited to some spaces in a busy...

👍👍 Loved it, so much family fun, laser tag is awesome. Handy having food there too, mini-golf has some good quirks, cool to try the escape room VR, I probably needed a bit more of a tutorial on how to use controls. Excellent array of high quality boardgames to shop. Staff were super nice and helpful. T...

EB Games Gisborne

Video game store

👍 It's small but tidy and well laid out. Got the gifts we wanted which were also on promotion buy 2 get 1 free so pretty stoked. Went in again today still really clean, my daughter got a pair of Spiderman socks which was a compromise on the Spiderman figurine she was after

Hato Hone St John Retail Store

Thrift store

😠 I visited this store looking for a plain black blazer for a costume. I found one, but they were selling it with black pants that I didn't need (and didn't fit me). I approached the counter and asked would they consider selling the blazer separately. The nice girl behind the counter asked her manager...
