Reviews of Countdown Wainuiomata

Awesome!! Staff are helpful and friendly, always. Great people work there. A well thought out placement for everything and most of the times if you're carrying your One Card.. you'll save some money. Plenty of car parks including handicap parking, parents with prams, online shoppers. I really like the easy access for those in wheel chairs.

The good: it has new clean layout that needs to get used to . Looks great and highlights the raise of Wainuiomata status. The bad: Update! Maybe it's not ready but who designed the disabled car park spots? Who saw the design and thought: "Yeah put the disabled spots for parking uncovered so they get wet in the rain". The parking for picking up online orders is covered! The cars parked there when I was visiting they we're not for picking up any online orders! The online orders should have queue forming NOT permanent parking spots! Parking spots been now updated slightly wider and clearly marked. The smooth concrete outside been roughed up bit so won't be slippery but the yellow tiles for the eyesight impaired people are failing and getting loose. While we brought the subject of inside. Who thought the bakery is good idea to be crammed like an afterthought beside the deli? Missed opportunity to be true patisserie in addition to bakery. The alcohol section is the biggest section though. The car park coming along nicely. Wide enough with good layout. Oh! Almost forgot. You know the car entrance from the Strand? Yeah. That one it kinda guides you behind the old warehouse, has sharp blind turn with no footpath and barely enough room for two a way street. Be careful on a rainy day! Hidden potholes were hastily repaired.

Finally, new parking is complete. Renewed supermarket. Still needs fine tuning & well stocked shelves. Pickup & delivery services available.

Very good. shelves look good. Everything i needed was on shelves. I shopped 29th afternoon and early morning Sunday 30th.

Pride of Wainuiomata Fabulous Brand New Countdown Super Market, friendly, Kind and Professional Staff .Carries wide Range Wine, Delhi, Groceries. Lotto,Parking, Site still under development with the Oringial supermarket being demolished.

Car park is almost completed, lots of parks available. Clean and tidy store well stocked. The staff are helpful and friendly

Big new supermarket. Entrance is a bit of a trouble. Would be nice if they had 2 entrances.

Friendly staff and shelves seemed to be pretty well sticked when I visited

More than compensating for their delapidated and about-to-be-replaced building, the staff at this Countdown supermarket are invariably friendly and helpful. Prices are competitive and the range of goods and stock levels generally very good. Features a superb bakery, with a variety of mouth-watering treats always on offer!

Despite a "run" on this store after lockdown was announced, the staff were brilliant and patient - the ones who had already been working all day long, as well as the ones who had been called in to help with the rush! And, without knowing that lockdown would so suddenly be announced, the store was well-stocked with the basic and not-so-basic supplies! We love our new Countdown Wainuiomata!

Way better than the old store. Car park looks a bit barren ATM. Be nice once the trees grow. Makes wainui feel more upmarket

Great service and store. Do a great job serving locals and visitors to Wainuiomata.

Fantastic new store, so nice for Wainuiomata. Loving the click and collect, so easy, great amount of slots, even on the day you order. Great range of products and allocated parking(as long as inside shoppers dont park in them) A+

A well appointed supermarket that has most everything you need. It even stocks higher end items you might not expect from Wainuiomata. Four star as their trolley maintenance is poor (2019) and consequently are sometimes wobbly and bent.

Love the new shop, the new parking set up is good. Stock selection runs really minimal and prices are up not quite the bargains as they use to be. Actually shopping elsewhere for cleaning products as they are WAY over priced. But glad to have a nice local grocery store.

New, clean and found what i wanted easy enough. First visit there.

i love shopping at countdown but i notice that there are 9 card Self checkout then there is cash customer checkout (cash one only have 2) i think there should be more cash Self checkout as well. cause some people dont carry card and want to do their own scanning and the cash line is so long as there only 2 so kindly please make more cash Self checkout like the same amount as card Self checkout.

A great supermarket every thing you need is available in the supermarket. ❤⭐❤⭐❤

A new countdown in Wainuiomata. Very lovely layout. Meat selection is not great. Could have been bigger. Meat seems to run out quickly. Overall very nice with chemist.

Countup it should be called. The number of hot chicks going in there since thay done the fresh build is going up not down

Its ok still would prefer to drive over yhe hill prices are very very expensive

Parking is a bit hard not enough The trolley parking is facing the wrong way you have to go on the road to park it Otherwise I found the shopping a breeze and delightful

Very nice store indeed

Only supermarket in Wainuiomata. Good fresh products, food and daily necessity. Entry from the main road was a bit tricky and a limited parking space. Also there is construction beside the some parking place.

Staff are amazing and we had a small issue with our click and collect the checkout girl had checked twice and was complete 3rd check someone had removed a bag from my order she rushed around to amend it and threw in one Easter eggs for waiting. Their systems work they caught the error themselves so what's a 5 min wait right now. Thanks Riley * (hope that's your name) So professional knows how to do her job and good checking skills

Love the make over! As for the carpark ........ really

Beejay is so lovely and friendly and helpful I think he will make it so far love seeing his smiling face when I come in! We need more beautiful people like beejay in the world but maybe just start with countdown wainui. I am not rating countdown 5 stars just beejay 😊

A new Countdown is beautiful and spacious. Much wanted improvement over the old store. Great selection of products and great staff.

Seen a few discounts on biscuits and sweets but meat and vege prices were through the roof

good place for groceries. holds the basics, not expect to find everything the larger stores hold. But, definitely enough items there to keep your pantry stocked

Great place to shop in Wainuiomata being the only supermarket in the valley, heaps of parking available now

A traditional suburban supermarket, with a concise product range that offers enough variety without being a chore to browse. The staff are friendly and helpful, the aisle layout is logical, the checkout queues are quick, and there's plenty of parking right outside.

Great new store Very well stocked Needed this to happen years ago

Very tidy and clean store.

Great customer service and good for a quick shop. Prices are sometimes different to what is advertised and usually find a product I went there to buy isn't available as it hasn't been restocked! Variety of produce not great but store is always clean and great parking

Well presented ,easy to find things whatever your looking for . Helpful staff.

My grandson had someone trip him up he fell on his side no one help my grandson up or with his shopping appalingĺl I was made fun of had people laughing at me in there as I am crippled this not good doesn't give countdown a good reputation

Supermarket is fantastic. Once Parking has been sorted it will be brilliant. ( Parking at the moment is abominable)

Still waiting for that parking lot to be made and for more disabled parking.

Friendly and great stock. Score brought down by seeing g trolley boy fully picking his nose. Yucko, made me want to vomit.

Not a huge selection, especially in the meat department. Also over priced. Good for the odd item if don't want to travel over the hill but wouldn't do a full shop here, too expensive

Brand new store just opened this week beside the previous store. Great layout, everything easy to locate.

Great staff great selection very well stacked

Good place to go shopping if you live in Wainuiomata it's also good for a small to medium amount of a items so yeah good for a couple people or a small family but if you want better value or have a big family id suggest buying in bulk

very busy due to impending lockdown, staff were handling to influx really well

Always gr8 going to Countdown Wainuiomata. Friendly staff even under pressure.

Needs a better mix of products. Seems the store is based on what sells and avoids taking risks. Very much a 'catch 22' in my mind. Store is clean and reasonably laid out.( few items in strange places ??) Checkout Counters need some work as do the walkways inside the stores. Very odd layout? I suspect its been changed a couple of times without much real thought? Never enough staff at rush times. ( Typical of supermarkets trying to avoid paying wages. ) Finally, Specials go and never get restocked - This is Crap retailing and very misleading in my mind. Especially when there is no mention of "limited' stock. funny how the second the special ends stock reappears ?!?!?.

The store is quite small compared to other countdown stores, still has most of the special offers etc. Prices as good as countdowns anywhere else but variety not as good here. Shopping centre entrance needs some TLC and the carpark is huge - v few other shops nearby so never much drama parking near the door.

Has everything I need when I go there

Awesome little Hub the only Bigg Grocery Store in Wainuiomata Excellent Staff members always on hand to help no matter what your looking for. Keep it up Wainuiomata Countdown 👍👍👍👍

What an experience beautiful store supa be better when the carpark is completed..... 👌

Great always well stocked lovely tellers..local and pleasant. Except for lady serving at Lotto outlet very rude has a health condition don't take it out on customers

Looooovvvveeee this shop. I go over the hill from Alicetown to shop here! Awesome staff who make all the difference!

Rung yesterday as kids were in store and asked lady to give them two two litre weed killer. Whilst using first one it was bought to my attention it was weed fertilizer. A call to the store was satisfactory and was told to come down and I would get my refund on $35 plus free weed killer. Went down got offered replacement and was told they would not charge me the extra two dollars. Last time I checked four bottles at $8 each was $32 so infact they owed me $3. It was hot and late and tbh I could not be bothered challenging them for the promised refund or arguing the point that in actual fact they owed me $3. Three 🌟 is I believe the girl was helpful but like us all working in the heat is a killer, so let it pass. Overall in general no complaints 😊

Brand new and it's a beauty. Wainui desperately needed a new supermarket and this one is a good one.

This place has most things with the exception of a few brands. Fresh produce could be better but otherwise is a good place to shop for essentials. Staff are friendly and the place feels like a community hub.

New store nice layout. Takes a bit of getting used to the new layout.

A classic example of 1980s mall architecture and design. Well worth the trip just to see the pastel paintwork, triangular faux Mediterranean plastering and inhale the sweet aroma of mouldy asbestos. The only mall in the country with more security guards than shops and more shops than customers. Soak up some alone-time and grab a $2 bargain today!

Good supermarket, parking is a big problem because of the building of new mall next to countdown

Staff super friendly and great products to choose from

The aisles are nice & wide, plenty of room for shoppers, the place is so easy to get around & there's plenty of parking.

Could be better not enough deals pretty expensive for the only supermarket in wainuiomata have to go over the hill to do our family shopping

Only supermarket in wainuiomata, priced as one would expect. Suitable only if you are unable to travel over the hill~ Online shopping isnt in sync with the stock they have available so they tend to replace a purchased product with one of equal value so on abd so forth.

I've been to other countdowns in Lower Hutt only for buying meat after work, but now i can easily find meat specials in countdown waiuniomata. looks good always and good merchandising. specially 3 for 20 deal. Thankyou countdown wainui.

Nice friendly staff, a lot of car parks, easy to find things, self checkouts work properly, a variety of things to buy.

Stock levels are usually decent, could do with a return to previous closing hours of 11pm. Depending on what you want to buy, they either have it or they don't.

They are in the process of making a new count down in Wainuiomata, can't wait

Nice shop, produce is good and layout fairly similar to other stores e.g. Greymouth. Did not not take me too long to find what I needed.

Clean and fresh with the same friendly staff.

New shop. Much larger with more space and product.

Great store and Staff

It's good for our little township just wish the meat department could match that of pak n save.

Friendly staff, easy to find items

Doesn't have the range of bigger shops but it has good stock of what is there. Always tidy, never too much of a queue.

Great place to shop. The checkout people are always friendly. Makes it a nice experience

Great staff! They always have what I need. Good specials on fruit and veggies.

Wainui now has a full size countdown, about time 😉😉😉

Great as always. Enjoy the Quiet Hour which is Wednesday 2..30-3.30pm!

Durning the lock down they were great with trying to keep people safe, staff always happy

Lovely staff, looks like a countdown, sometimes features an ungodly amount of cicadas in park and foyer. 10/10

I've been to other countdowns in Lower Hutt but this one is the best. Items are always topped up especially fruits and baby products

It's my only local supermarket it's a nice place to shop. Hate that they don't have shopping bags anymore. It's really inconvenient!!!

Never stock things got to go to countdown in hutt to get things

Good shopping day, nice & quiet, staff were helpful especially a politician young lady @ produce she went out of her way to look for a produce that I was looking for

Nice place to shop, small enough & easy. Goods are not pricey at all

Captive audience parking lot needs to be better. Expand the size of the store it will always make a profit

Big store and well stocked

Excellent Customer service, efficient, punctual and service with a smile n a giggle too

Great service and also I would like to give shout out to all the great team members who make shopping at wainuiomata a great experience

Long overdue, nice job with the surroundings as well

New countdown is just amazing, spacious and beautiful.

Nicest countdown in Wellington

The new look is fresh and spacious.

Plenty of stock friendly staff just looking forward to the update

Just another countdown supermarket

Found it quite expensive for a supermarket. As it is the only one in the valley I expected better. I was wrong

Click and collect every week. Absolutely love it! Highly recommend it. Wainuiomata countdown rocks!!!!

Not a great store. Good gr8 the odd thing you need on a hurry

Was good and not too busy at this time. Good service and some good prices for what I wanted

Very presentable the staff is friendly and awesome

Staff are very friendly and helpful.

The shop had everything I needed to buy today. A good experience.

A lovely place to shop. The staff are courteous and fun to talk too.

Local store. Only issue I have is that 8 out of 10 times there is no shopping baskets at the entrance. Annoying. Such a small thing to fix

Need more variety in store but friendly staff

1st time there! Not too bad...but layout takes a bit of getting used to!😇

In and out no messing around. Nothing flash but new one nearly done

Great community spirit, fantastic service and friendly staff but not great at restocking, otherwise it'd be the best countdown in Wellington

Nice upgrade

In and out using self checkout. Always a good experience here.

Yes I've always been grocery shopping in countdown wainuioumata because of my rewards card. And besides a lots cheaper.

Good location, great products and an amazing cluster spawn for Pokémon GO.

Always a good experience

Excellent service. Lovely staff. Very busy and efficient.

A good supermarket for Wainui. Can be the place to find hard to get items like Lewis Rd chocolate milk.

It's local and convenient, plenty of parking and they value their customers.

Smallish but still has a good range. Customer service is fabulous!

Range can be limited but the staff are always nice and very helpful

Always good service staff very friendly

Brilliant staff, lovely store.

Our local Countdown. An ok level of produce and good for a quick shop.

Staff are friendly, but delivery driver decided to try and side swipe our vehicle then swore at and abused us when confronted.

Great staff, carpark and building a bit shabby. No customer bathroom

Don't normally go there only when i need to

Have stopped doing my main shop here as i can get more for less at pak & save.

Busy place as only supper market here

Nice happy cheerful employees always brightens my day

Fresh produce! Good service! Pleasure to shop there

Friendly but not the variety available there like Lower Hutt.

Variety and quality of goods less than in other Countdowns.e.g lower hutt countdown has better quality and variety of fruit. Somewhat dissapointed given that it is a newly built store.
