Just wondering if there's any katikati locals in here either young or old I'm 26m it's just I'm curious if everyone from this subreddit is just from the Tauranga CBD or are others branched out if you are locals then feel free to message me cause I'm still trying to figure this town out and I have questions haha

Looking for good recommendations (mainly places that aren’t super packed during peak hour)

Anyone knows somewhere that repairs coffee grinders/machines? Thank you.

At this point I’m thinking about investing in some gear to vac my car at home..

Tired of the average Mobil vacuum, and had some poor experiences with the hewlettes road one.

Do any of you good buggers have any recommendations?

Cheers

Not even just popping in for a few minutes, but parked across the mobility spaces all day. Nice to see their parking infringement under the wiper later yesterday.

The disaster at Mount Maunganui is truly tragic - mostly because of how forseeable it was. And on the day the heroic efforts of the teacher who passed was even more heartbreaking.

People there tried to call emergency services, Council etc and nothing happened.

And now the accountability ball is being shuffled around as if it's just a game, and not human lives lost, and their families forever hurt by it.

So I was very surprised to see the Tauranga city Council CEO I think it was - Marty Grenfell - use weasal public relations words to avoid responsibility.

On TVNZ he said it was due to bad "processes and systems" and poor "information sharing"

But he is literally the CEO - that is literally his job.

I'm not sure why the Mayor is backing this individual but hadn't weighed in because I hadn't looked into it so didn't want to comment - but his comments are a pretty clear indication this guy has no sense of responsibility or accountability and is no "CEO" material - or maybe the Luxon kind

My 2c.

Hey 23M, my interest lies in crypto and ecommerce and currently expanding my horizons to different ventures such as property. Always learning new skills in regard of business such as sales, advertising and leadership. Mainly looking for liked minded individuals. HMU if your down to connect and get to know each other.

G'day all,

Moved here from CHCH last year, been missing the ability to head out for a nice coffee and a slice at 9pm. Everything here seems to close early!

Anyone know of a nice coffee shop that stays open into the evening? Preferably Greerton / CBR sort of area - not quite desperate enough to drive out to Pap!

Obviously there's McCafe, but doesn't quite have the atmosphere I'm missing

Ta!

Does anyone have a permenant caravan site at a holiday park/campground in the BOP that would be able to give me an idea what the annual fees/outgoings are like?

We're thinking this would be a good option for affordable holidays but not sure what the ongoing expenses would be. Any insight appreciated, T.I.A.

Hey all, does any one one know a trustworthy Mechanic. My car failed its Wof due to the front left break pad, apparently rubbing. Notes say something about needing to be measured.

Edit: Thank you everyone for your help

It got caught on one of those hooks holding random items in the supermarket aisle and honestly I could’ve cried I felt so embarrassed. But to the guy who quickly helped untangle my hair I just wanted to say thank you so much. I was already overstimulated trying to do a grocery shop with my 8 month old and the store seemed to be unusually wild this morning. You’re a good human and you made my day slightly more tolerable 🫶🏼

Any home distillers about.

My still been out of action since I had kids but would like to get back into it eventually. I know nothing about what I'm doing just reflux distilled a few batches of tpw with turbo. Was chasing performance not pleasant drinking then.
