Like the name says - real toys and unreal parties. We had my sons 4th birthday here. It was so easy and fun.
The staff and owner are beyond helpful. Great toyshop too with some unique gifts (not your run of the mill chain store stuff)
Highly recommended!

There are over 7 places within 200 metres on high street Ashburton where you cannhave coffee. This is one of the best! Lovelybrear courtyard. Friendly staff. GREAT COFFEE...CONSISTENTLY!

Still highly recommend Shivoo after a number of years. Consistently great! Lovely staff. Great work - extremely happy with my hair.

Ive been going to Shimmer for 4 years now and the service is as top quality as the first time. Always reliable and helpful.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

One of my favourite children's stores. Organic baby and kids clothing. It's so soft and pure against my kids skin, love it.
The staff are always helpful, they will always take the time to look for at size if not on the racks.
The clothing is more expensive than a lot of others but it lasts and the designs are classic, I think it's worth it, especially for the sleep ware.

Approximate cost: $40

Lots of off street parking, clean and adults get a free drink:)

My 2.5 year old loves it, I love it, we sneak in a ride on the inflatable slide together if no other kids around!

My only neg is the baby room could have cars, it has one vehicle but a couple of 'cozy coupes' for the kids to play with would be perfect. My 18 month old was a little board as he couldnt go on big kid stuff and little kid stuff too little. But the ball pits were great and kept them both happy for long enough to enjoy my free cap.
What more do you want? :)

Approximate cost: $15

I used an online voucher, so got great value for money! The staff were lovely. Sharon gives the BEST scalp massage!
The staff were bubbly and chatty and regularly asked if I wanted a drink.
PLUS they had the latest magazines (that weeks)!!
Overall a great experience.
I wasn't sure what I wanted but Sharon was really helpful.
I'll be back :)

Approximate cost: $79

I didn't even get in the door! There are appx 15 car spots and they were gone by 9.30am. There was some off street parking but mainly only an hour. Went home :(
Really what is the point...this could be the best playcentre on the planet (reviews suggests its very good) but if there are not even 1/2 enough car spots it's irrelevant.

Love Love Love this store. The staff are awesome; so helpful. If they don't have it or can't get it they will find out where you can. They stock a FANTASTIC range of boys and girls clothes (equal amount - unlike alot of stores where the boys stuff is sometimes an afterthought). The brands are brilliant with classics like Bebe and wonderful other brands that are not found at your major dept stores like minymo. Keep your eyes open for their sales - really great - i stock my kids wardrobes for next year!

Great place to enjoy a coffee while the kids are kept occupoied. Today was my 3rd visit and just as good as my first one. The staff make sure you are comfortable and welcome. Coffee is good & food is nice (the quesalida was really yummy) the children had a ham and cheese toasty on a lovely healthy multigrain bread. There are lots of play areas for the kids including a thomas track, slide, pretend kitchen & cubby.
