I normally do two loads in my washing machine at home and come here to get my clothes dried when…read moreAuckland weather can't make up it's mind. It costs me $6 total to dry the two loads (which I fit into one basket). Takes just over an hour to dry - so I definitely think the $6 is so worth it compared to me hanging up and taking down two loads of clothing on the line. And so much more worth it when there's a possibility of rain (don't you just hate running out of the house when it rains in Auckland to take down your clothes, and then 5 mins after taking your clothes down it's super sunny?). Yeah.. nah, not about that life. I'd rather spend the $6! Very good service the staff are friendly. Will continue coming here. I should seriously consider doing the combos. They look decent!

Took it home to find out that it's stained!!! Checked pockets and there was nothing in them for this to happen. Told me to come back on Thursday when the lady is working again, however that's 4 DAYS AWAY! Very slack service. Also charged me for a bag which I didn't need when I provided my own basket.

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.

I am just back from the shop…read more Went to check and try to find a proper price for an Yamaha P255 Digital Piano. After mentioning to the seller the prices I have seen online he very agressively told me to buy somewhere else. In any moment I lost my temper but felt very ofended when he insisted asking where I am from in a clearly sign of discrimination. If you wanna buy a piano, look somewhere else. Rockshop sells Roland and Kawai and Music Planet sells the Korg range (the awesome Kronos workstations). I am never coming back to Music Works. If you wanna buy Yamaha, look online. The model I am looking they sell from 3k NZD. The list price in Australia (with same plug/voltage) is 1999 AUD (=2.1kNZD). You can find still deals over this price. To ship to NZ they discount the GST that is 10% and you pay 15% when it arrive at customs. To ship is around 200nzd. 500nzd cheaper at least and doesn't need to be offended by an unprofessional seller. That's not to say that in the US (Amazon.com) the same piano is 1299USD.

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.

If you are just moving into the area having purchased a lifestyle block, then you will also be popping in to price up the ride-on mowers, a couple of which sit outside the store frontage. If you don't have a ride-on then they have the regular lawnmowers and can definitely tackle any repair and maintenance jobs. This is your good old fashioned lawnmower and chainsaw fix it shop, pick up all of the accessories you'd need and if you are after a new model then ask the friendly store owner or assistant.

On Sunday I was driving to my boyfriend's place out in West Auckland and came across the coolest…read moredaycare centre I've ever seen. IT IS SHAPED LIKE A CASTLE. YES. A CASTLE. Fittingly named, The Little Castle is a daycare centre for children under the age of 5, and not having had any kids myself, I cannot comment on whether it is a good place to send your kids. All I can say is it looked like a good time, and I'm 21. I can only imagine how it must look to children! Fun times a million - that's what I'm guessing. When I was little all I wanted was to be a princess like Jasmine from Aladdin, and if I'd had the chance to go to a daycare that looked like a castle I would have been ecstatic. Next time you're out in West Harbour, whether you have littlies and are looking for potential daycares or just a Disney-loving adult like myself, keep your eyes peeled for The Little Castle, and you'll see why I was so excited to discover it.
