    Walking inside we were greeted warmly, offered refreshments and shown our seats. Had a good group of people we were all encouraged to talk and help each other, very easy to follow the paining techniques had a few laughs trying to get them perfect... everyone was happy with our finished picture. I found painting very relaxing, coupled with the friendly people and creative environment we will definitely be back and will be recommending to everyone! :)
    Thanks again!

    I have used this place for years with various children of various ages (4 to 13). Always exciting to get the finished product. High quality - the ceramics are very sturdy as a bonus. Can are very proud of the results and display them proudly in their rooms for years. Such a great gift to make for parents and grandparents.
    The staff are outstanding. Helpful and knowledgeable. A peaceful afternoon activity. Good value for money!

    A group of 10 of us long time friends attended Main Course Cooking School and participated in the Spanish Tapas menu. We watched and learnt from our tutor, Sonia, (I think that was her name).
    Then we were split into groups and to recook the menu with her help. The food was beautiful. Easy to make and cook and beautiful to eat.
    The atmosphere and surroundings were very nice and it was easy to find.

    I had the most amazing day on my one to one course with Mark. I was worried my lack of knowledge would be a problem but within an hour I had learned so much and my camera wasn’t nearly as frightening, I almost felt like a pro! Mark was lovely and sooo patient, it was a brilliant experience. I am going to do the videography course next!!

    The yoga studio was nice & clean. The 1st class I took I felt a step behind, which is odd due to the fact that I’ve been guiding yoga classes for 20yrs. But I thought it was because I couldn’t 100% understand the instructors accent. As the class came to an end the teacher said, “well, we just completed a two and a half hour sequence in 1 hour. Suddenly, I got it... she was attempting to fit a sun & moon sequence into a 60min class. A bit much, but ok. I survived.
    It took me 4-5days before I mustered the courage to go back. I did. And the second instructor had a unique sequence that seemed dance like & quite beautiful in flow.
    And she ended the class in a wonderfully guided savasana.

    Following my gyrocopter experience I had with Gyrate NZ at Tauranga, which I thoroughly enjoyed (see separate review), I decided to have another go.
    I arranged with Gyrate Auckland for an hours trip in their open MT-03 Eagle from the small airfield at Parakai, aka West Auckland Airport, which is about a 40 minute drive from down town Auckland.
    On arrival I met up with Steve Pegg, my instructor, an ex RN helicopter pilot, who showed me over the gyrocopter. The MT-03 is the same type as I had flown at Rufforth so I was fairly familiar with the controls.
    After a thorough safety briefing and with me sitting in the front pilots seat, I taxied out to the runway where Steve took over for the take off.
    We flew around the beautiful NZ countryside for just over an hour and Steve got me to do various exercises, such as constant rate turns, cross wind approach to a runway and following a twisty creek at a given speed and altitude, all great fun!
    I'm certainly hooked on gyrocopters now, and hope to take lessons back in the UK to get a PPL (G).
    Thanks Steve.

    Ok folks, let me tell you a little story about why Phil & Zen from the Piha Surf School are absolute bloody legends:

    It was a solid Monday of pumping surf at Piha, breaking mid tide out at camel - draining! I was super excited and took the first wave that came my way -- too deep and behind the section, I straightened out onto the flats and looked back at a super powerful double overhead beast throwing out, and reeling off down the line. Piha is so exhilarating when its breaking like that! I thought I was about to enjoy an all-time session with only a few guys out, and the formality of just wearing one on the head...

    I did a standard feet first pin drop and then underwater I was shocked by the power of the explosion, I got super violently beaten. I didnt hit the bottom, but the the wave ragdolled me and nek minut, my shoulder is out of the socket!

    I've been surfing almost 30 years and in some heavy spots around the world. I cant remember the last time I got a drubbing like that!

    I surfaced in excruciating pain with a dead arm, a hideous double shoulder, and began the one armed paddle to the beach. Every wave that came through I had to slide off my board and go under, holding my dead arm down against my side, but I couldn't always manage it, so the shoulder got agonisingly thrashed a few extra times for good measure.

    I lurched up the beach to an empty south carpark, but for my old mate Phil who just happened to have some top shelf painkiller in his car. Phil totally sorted me out, called up the ambulance, sat with me until it arrived, and while the medic direct lined
    some more happy vibes, Phil called up Zen who volunteered to drive my car back to the shore!

    Zen & Phil, a big thanks and stoked shaka! You guys transformed a stressful situation into a really good vibe day!

    I was wisked off to waitakere hospital and two docters popped the arm back into place. See you back out there soon buddies!
