Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Todd P1 contributionGood food and drink. Overrun with Romulans. Would have liked to see more authentic Vulcan foods like Gespar fruit and big bowls of Plomeek Soup.Written 26 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ace_Traveller_NZAuckland, New Zealand239 contributionsI hadn't visited this for a number of years, so when I went last weekend, it came as a surprise to me as to how much this market had grown. I guess with the demise of La Cigale, a number of vendors probably would have moved here.
There is a wide selection of vendors, so there should be something for everyone. I stopped by someone selling mushrooms, there were bakers, grocers, Napolitan pizza, to name a few. The range seem to be more than just "Farmers", which is a good thing. I wish I had more time to explore.
Now for the down sides. It was crowded, and whilst there were plenty of parking spaces nearby, it was hard to find a park. Did I mention, it was crowded? Expect to queue for the more popular vendors. Also, a number of vendors only accepted cash or bank transfer. I think it is not unreasonable to expect vendors to accept credit cards or at a minimum EFTPOS.Written 22 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jacquitohcAuckland Central, New Zealand1,456 contributionsCatalina Bay Farmers Market, finefood-market at Hobsonville Point; lovely waterfront views. Olive oils, Butchery, Nut-butters, cheese, copper perfumery-kits, and more; great atmosphere. Bakery out-the-door queues, decadent patisserie, got some - finished in a jiffy, got another few delish items before we left. (I have gait/walking challenges (stroke), wear a legbrace.) - challenging flights of steps if you park at top-level carpark or drive-down, gourmet (indoor/outdoor) market though quite small, must try cafes surrounding it for next time, ferry-pier (service to/from Auckland Cbd). Went on the weekend, great find; I believe they are open more days.Written 30 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- dbmathur2000New Delhi, India6 contributionsA place where environment, society, people and Govt, all are clean and friendly.
Beauty of nature so profound.
One feels extra healthy.
The tourist sites are enjoyable for all age groups.
The fruites, vegetables, milk products are of great taste.Written 26 July 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

One notable point though, there were three male staff members, in different stores within the Galleria, and each of them went out of their way to say hello which I thought was very nice.Written 13 February 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AcinetoAuckland Central, New Zealand23,312 contributionsThe mall isn't huge but it is fairly big. Multiple levels of shops including the Warehouse on the top floor at one end and the Cinemas near the other. They also have multiple entrances including ones on Great North Road.
They do have a food court with a variety of different foods.
The mall is quite nice and clean and not too difficult to get around. Large selection of shops including quite a few dollar stores (and a $2 or less store).Written 3 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

What you get is a huge assortment of street food of all types, much of it quite appealing. And, of course, some local artisans and their craft works - go online when you get to Auckland and google "Auckland Night Markets" for current locations and hours.Written 10 April 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jacquitohcAuckland Central, New Zealand1,456 contributionsCommercial Bay Auckland - a new destination for upmarket shopping experience, in downtown CBD, is very different from before when it was Downtown Shopping Centre. Newly built, it has stylish surroundings, quite a corporate feel, delightful views of the harbour from certain levels, there were places to luxuriously pamper, elegant stores to visit, aromas & flavours of tasty food from around the world. Like busy food-streets in South East Asia with delectable morsels - the well-populated food court, was very busy when we were at Harbour Eats. I have gait/walking challenges (stroke); I wear a legbrace. Style, Design, fine and casual dining, trendy buzzing bars, flagship stores, Commercial Bay shopping complex has something for everyone, great way to catch-up for drinks, coffee, sundowners & watch the world go by. A welcome addition to the CBD, part of the Britomart downtown shopping area.Written 11 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Boba M. BaluchovaAuckland, New Zealand576 contributionsI visited Artspace NZ in Auckland recently thanks to 'New perspectives' openning exhibition. Nice venue with little library abd few exhibition rooms. The place was full of people because of good timing (Friday night) and good catering (a lot of white wine). As several visitors pointed out: they're interested in social life more than contemporary art... Obviously, the organizers took it into consideration :)Written 26 September 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
