Tree Adventures
High ropes course
๐๐ We've not been for about 11+years, and in that time the safety equipment has had a massive upgrade, to the point I felt confidence taking my 7yo child around (courses 1 - 4). They loved it, and are keen to go again.
This is a great group activity, but be aware it will make any fear of heights well...

Goat Island Dive & Snorkel
Tourist attraction
๐๐ I've had absolutely brilliant experience scuba diving with Sara! My longest dive so far 85min, shore diving is pretty shallow, hence you save a lot of air, but there is so much to see! No need to go any deeper. I was really taken care of and Sara even got me some beautiful pictures! Good modern equi...

Morepork BBQ Kumeu
Barbecue restaurant
๐ Went to the Sunday market down the road and decided to try this American BBQ out, 1. Brisket (personally I think itโs but salty) 2. Pulled pork is not bad. Caesar salad is not bad. Portion wise is small. Overall the taste is really good.

Black Cottage Cafe
Restaurant
๐๐ recently visited Black Cottage cafe for lunch in Coastville Village, Auckland, and let me tell you, appearances can be deceiving. From the outside, it resembles a contemporary cottage by the highway, but once you step inside, you're greeted with a warm and cozy ambiance that instantly makes you feel...

Shahi Flavours Indian
Indian takeaway
๐๐ I got the Lamb Korma and it was absolutely wild, I would probably go as far as to say that it's the best Lamb Korma I've come across, ever.
Real big chunky pieces of lamb and good value for the $21.90 I paid for it. Just so good, it was ridiculous.
I also got a butter chicken, garlic naan breads (co...
