While paying to get your washing done can seem like a bit of a luxury, sometimes (especially in the…read moremidst of winter, when NOTHING dries) it can be a godsend. Richmond Road Laundromat offers self-service machines as well as an in-house service and to be honest the cost isn't that different. Sometimes I'll wash items at home and just take them here to be dried. Linen, sheets, towels etc - knowing they can be dry and folded in under an hour makes me do a little dance on the inside. It's the small things, ya know! The service is friendly and polite, and it doesn't break the bank.

They have always done a good job with our children's uniforms and our own personal drycleaning needs. While quite a few other drycleaners do have alteration service, as do these guys, their point of difference is their suit hire business which I believe is the only one in Glen Eden. Once we forgot to collect an item for some time and once we remembered, there is was on their shelves for us to retrieve.

This place is busy from the dawn to end of night. I like it because I can get in & get out when the jobs done. The shop & the machines are cleaned everyday.

Regal Drycleaners is located on Broadway in Newmarket and is reputed as the best drycleaners in…read moreAuckland, having won the Metro Best Drycleaners Award numerous times. Regal is even recommended by many high-end designers on the label of their clothing - it's that trusted. Though on average a little more expensive, Regal have a cheaper service for your everyday clothing, while catering for elaborate high-end pieces like Versace gowns and Swarovski crystal bodices. Although I have never sent my Versace gown for cleaning, I can guarantee it would come back to me in perfect condition - something that could not be said for many drycleaners around Auckland. The drycleaning solvent they use is called hydrocarbon, which is odourless and environmentally friendly. Hydrocarbon means your clothes will return to you clean and beautiful, minus that horrible P.E.R.K smell that usually lingers long after drycleaning. Though a little pricey, Regal is definitely somewhere to keep in mind for those special garments you'd hate to be ruined. Bonus: Regal take full responsibility for the cleaning service and care of your garments. This means that on the rare occasion you aren't satisfied with the service, Regal will endeavour to sort this out for you.

Surman's is a menswear store near the more well stocked mall in New Lynn. With a mall almost…read moreentirely composed of well stocked fashion stores it begs the question of why I should go out of my way to this shop? The majority of clothes on stock are made for the larger sized male. The price is not reflective of the quality of ugly baroque patterned shirts and white suit combinations. The staff sat clearly in sight, smacking their lips during a lunchtime meal and ungraciously ignoring me. So I couldn't think of a good reason why you would want to go out of your way to visit this rather poorly organized store. Stick to the more mundane mall stores where at least you are guaranteed service.

The first time I was looking for the post office, which is theoretically on Great North Road but in reality isn't, and the kind chap who is the proprietor here gave me very good directions. I've also been in here with someone who did want to buy men's clothes, and again, the owner was very gracious and helpful. This is the sort of clothes shop where everything is good quality; most of it isn't absolutely cutting-edge fashion, but if you dressed exclusively from here, you'd be bound to be classically well turned out all the time. They can also tailor clothes here as well, and I'd bet that they do a good job at that too. I wish there were woman's clothes shops that were more like this place.

Considering Westpark Marina is in close proximity, business must be good in the marine sector of their market. Sailboat repairs are their specialty. We know a few people who have yachts down at the marina and they use this business to repair any of their boat covers or upholstery cushions, etc. Moving on to shade sails, which are a great way to protect outdoor areas from the blistering heat as well as offer protection from the rain, they can be custom made here. If you have a spa pool cover or a tarpaulin in a state of disrepair, bring it into Bob who will have it looking as good as new in no time.
