With the first floor panels going in there was a chance to nip up and get the first view from the first floor today. Our Laura took these photos on her phone, along with an excellent panorama view of the bottom floor.

A casual call from Auckland led to a new Mazda CX-60 within two hours—thanks to Glenn! From start to finish, he was professional, reliable, and delivered on every promise, ensuring the car made it from Christchurch to Auckland in record time. Tory also made the process seamless with her efficient paperwork and quick responses. Overall, I give the Blackwell Mazda team a well-deserved 5+ stars.

Terrible customer service! My friend got told "this isn't the store for you" how disgusting is that. In my place of work if you treated a customer like that you'd be fired on the spot. Horrible place, looks shabby, overpriced. Cannot believe this was a real experience.

We visited Blackwell's in 2010 on our first trip to NZ. They have a great range & friendly service. It is great to drop in & buy a memento and then visit the cafe for cake. Pleased to see it going so well after being damaged by the earthquake years ago. We always visit Blackwell's when in the South Island

Blackwells is a rare treasure - a destination store for clothing, shoes, homewares, decorating and more. The staff genuinely know and love their products and will provide friendly, personal input when you want it. They are also personally involved in the buying so respond well to what customers really want and feel good in. A fun and productive shopping experience.

A tad expensive but everything is very high quality. They stock some of my favourite brands (R.M.Williams, Crocs, etc.). The staff are very helpful. You can get anything you need here from buttons to pajamas.
