Reviews
"Locations has been changed now to heretaunga street east, you can book bus tickets on the spot"
"Well set up place and very friendly people"
"I would like to give a shout out to Rita and Sarah @ Hastings visitor information centre . Both went out of their way to find me accommodation especially when there was little availability. Rita and Sarah advise on where to go snd where to stay was fantastic. Thank you help ladies"
"Not what I expected. The staff were lovely and helpful, however when I walked into a massive empty room with a large reception desk and a table with a few brochures I thought I was in the reception of a fancy Hotel. I went in to get a simple map of Hastings (street map) and the only ones available were the Wine & Food map and Trail map Hastings/Napier, which are good if that’s what your looking for, but I was after an actual map of Hastings that is accurate and shows all streets, parks & reserves (basically a big print out from google maps) I remember iSites having heaps of different maps, books, little souvenirs and pieces of local history. Pretty disappointed with the ‘upgrade’ to the Hastings iSite."
"The staff was cheerful and so helpful in organising a bike route. They even rent bikes, so it was all easily sorted out. Friendlier people you cannot find."
