Butterfly Creek took care of my wheelchair-bound husband last weekend with such dignity, respect and consideration. He was treated so well throughout the whole complex. Very wheelchair-friendly place. Thanks Butterfly Creek for making our day! Katherine

Recently, I had an issue with a tolls payment notice. I rang NZTA at 4.50pm last Saturday and was put through to Cameron, who did a fantastic job of talking me through the issues and sorting them out to my satisfaction. Well done Cameron, the best customer services person I have dealt with in many, many years. Ian

A big thank you to vet Mark and reception at the after-hours vet clinic in Carrington Rd for showing so much compassion and understanding during the peaceful passing of our beautiful girl, Daisy. It must be a tough part of being a vet. P & C
