Shopping

I know, I know...a Pak N Save? But, if you're looking for fresh fish or great steak this is actually the place. All the good stuff's down around the fish counter - the good steaks are there too. Pro tip - if you like snapper, try trevally. It tastes just as food, and is half the price.

Honestly, these public gardens will blow you away! Free entry, and a nice cycle/walk along the riverbank from the city or Hamilton East.

Lovely little council reserve which forms part of our gully. Beautiful native re-plantings, lots of birds, very peaceful. Look for the accessway between no.17 & 19 Balloch Street: a steep concrete path takes you down to the reserve. Return up the path, or continue out to Ranfurly Ave and stroll back to the hideaway along Fairfield Rd, Heaphy Terrace and Verel Street.
