One of NZ's most popular and iconic prides, The Warehouse prides itself on being 100% Kiwi owned…read more It's also one of the few places in NZ that gives you a money-back guarantee. This branch of the 'red shed', situated right by Wellington Airport, is MASSIVE - you can easily get lost! As for its products - well, take your chances! It's a parallel import heaven! They buy their stuff in bulk at discounted prices - and you never really know what you're going to find. One day you might come across an exercycle, the next some fishing tackle or cleaning detergent. It's truly random - and a lot of it isn't the best quality known to humanity - but at least you can get a refund if it breaks in the alloted timeframe! They also produce their own brand of clothing and sell loads of mainstream CDs and DVDs, games and toys at cheap prices. Their motto is where everyone gets a bargain - and even if you don't come out the door with what you bargained for, you can guarantee that you'll find something - even if it's random junk you never needed in the first place! Occasionally you really will pick up a useful bargain though.

So for many reasons I highly recommend this spa.
