We were in the neighborhood and needed to bring some snacks back home to give to friends. So we…read morecame to Countdown specifically looking for Tim Tam. The store is large and appears very clean. They have all the standard grocery items including a bakery section, butcher, and a somewhat tiny seafood section. Lots of produce as well. We ended up buying 15 packs of Tim Tam to give away... and a mandarin. The price for the Tim Tam wasn't the cheapest I've seen but they did have more varieties than the last three grocery stores I've been to. Plenty of parking and enjoyed the self-checkout so I wouldn't have to explain why I'm buying 15 packs of Tim Tam.

I honestly hate Bayfair. Parking is a nightmare, there are no worthwhile shops in here, and…read moreeverything is just so, so, so... bland. I don't know what else to say. I wouldn't rate a shopping center any higher than three stars anyway, unless I had a positively life-changing experience, but at the very least you have to have good parking facilities. Every time we're here I feel like parking is a near-death experience. And for what! The place doesn't even stay open past 6pm (except Thursdays... what!). Oh wait, there's always K-Mart open late. Bleh.

Lovely little gift shop on the side of the main highway/thoroughfare - just look for the giant…read moresheep building! We stopped here between Auckland and Rotorua and were pleased to find great gifts and souvenirs. I was looking for wool items that don't cost an arm and a leg and they had just that. Great clearance/sale selection upstairs as well as stylish clothes that don't have wool in them. We ended up taking a much longer break here than anticipated as they had such great products! The ladies who work here are very sweet and I highly recommend you go and visit them!

We had to stop by the grocery store in the same town centre, and I came upon this place by luck and…read moreconvenience. In this regard, I really needed a book to read for my long return flight home. Book selection was somewhat limited as I was looking specifically for romantic novels... and they didn't have many of the popular authors we have in the states. But I did come across what I'm thinking is gonna be an amazing read. Customer service was great as well.

Jess & Jordan's shop is perfection. Such a treat all around!!! Beautiful People and beautiful shop…read more I strolled in to buy a new cartilage earring after mine had fallen out a week earlier. I'd only had the piercing in for 5 months. After a close inspection in the wonderfully clean, professional, and welcoming back piercing room, it was quite obvious that the piercing was not only closed, but healed so quickly I couldn't fully identify where it had been. Jesse and Jordan were awesome. They didn't try to sell me a thing. I asked them to go ahead and re-pierce. When asked, they kindly suggested a slightly different, and much more flattering spot, than the original piercing. My piercing looks amazing. The pierce itself was quick, and clean. My daughter perpetually loses her earrings. The owners (J&J) helped her to pick out a wonderful fitting to her style and needs new set. The prices are more than fair, the service kind as can be, professional and welcoming. The space is sparkling clean and inviting, as well as fabulous selections of medical grade jewelry. I can't say enough good things about Piercing in Place.

After my wife went for massage therapy, her therapist recommended we purchase anti-inflammatory…read morepills and gel. Thankfully, Chemist Warehouse was just across the street. Although it was daunting figuring out where the items were located (since it all looks the same), I received great customer service. The lady at the pharmacy pointed me in the right direction and also provided her recommendation for the best/strongest product. There was a decent size check out line but they were manning each register so the line went quickly.

Absolutely fabulous service. We visited from 'out of the Country', and the lady treated us as if…read morewe were old friends.

Both a surf shop and a cafe. Can't comment on the surf side as only had coffee and a cheese scone…read more Good coffee and tasty cheese and spinach toasted scone. Staff nice at the counter but left dirty cups in the table when delivering our coffee and food. So could be more efficient. Nice people watching sitting outaide

Kind of pricey for merchandise and rentals. Selection isn't very good…read more Rented a paddleboard from this shop so I could go paddleboarding and paddle-surfing at the nearby beach. They charge $20/hour, or $40/4 hours. Obviously, most people use it for about 2 hours anyways, so effectively it's $40 anyways. There was only 3 board to choose from and the paddles were really bad, and rusted out so you can no longer extend the handle. The young woman working at the shop was nice, but the male store manager was not nice, impatient and not helpful at all. I had no choice but to rent from them because none of the other surf shops had paddleboards. I asked for the wifi passcode just to sync my email real quick, they gave it to me but after 5 min, they turned off the router so I couldn't use it anymore. Talk about passive aggressive. Do NOT rent from here, there's a much better surf shop across the street if you want to just rent surfboards. On a small day, I would recommend just renting a long surf board instead!
