"Locally renowned for NZ history both European and Maori, prehistorically and internationally. It’s also unique not only to me and my immediate family, but extended as well. My deceased grandfather has been laid to rest here and his sculpture sits near the entrance of the Maori section on the righthand side named TE WARE RAWIRI."

"Nice relaxing environment to be in, their smoking area is to die for fully equipped with heaters on cold winter’s season stunning views of the AOTEA SQUARE, closed off from rest of facility, really classy. Good fun for the kids as well, but if your just in for socialising amongst work colleagues, or time out from the kids then parents I would recommend this place."
