Negative experience: The staff is lovely except for this Asian girl. She has been incredibly rude and plain mean. No empathy. The one star is just because of that. The rest of the staff are lovely.

Positive experience: Played volleyball and badminton. Wooden courts are good but we might get confused because of way too many court markings.

Em Dee 1 year ago

Positive experience: Awesome facility, gym is good and the squash courts are good to have as well as the large basketball courts to use. Staff are always friendly and willing to assist best they can. There are dodgy people around and the cars have been broken into in the past which is a downer. This place has potential, hopefully with the town centre upgrade, it will be more safer and lively.

Blesson Thomas 4 years ago

Negative experience: It is really annoying that, lady sitting on the front desk during Sunday morning is behaving very badly to customers who came to play volleyball and she doesn’t even know how valuable a customer is. We have been playing here since long ago, but her behaviour to us is really rude and unacceptable.. I don’t know the name of that lady. It is really bad

Vishnu A P 4 years ago

Negative experience: Do not recommend this place if you want a good customer service. The lady at the front desk is not polite, rude and very unfriendly. We have been playing here on Sundays for almost 6 months and we are being treated this way. Never would suggest this place in regards to the customer service.

Retheesh Kumar 4 years ago

Negative experience: Amazing place...but staff works in the reception (on Sunday )was not friendly. We was playing vollyball and basketball twice in a week.she was very rude today,switched off the light before our paid time.YMCA onehunga is better than allan Brewster.we booked the same for next week.i am really sorry to say this.

Vishnu Joshi 4 years ago

Negative experience: Have been playing here for a while but the Sunday staff on 6/12/2020, was very rude and not friendly at all. There should be a certain level of calmness that should be there with the staff when in customer servicing role The court and facilities are good, but at the end of the day, customer service also plays a crucial role in keeping the morale up.
